Refused Decision Notice MCU24 0032 · MCU24/0032

                      b.      does not respond to the existing site conditions and will visually dominate the street
                              and surrounding area.
               3.     The proposal does not comply with Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 and corresponding
                      Performance Outcome PO8 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code as:
                      a.      The proposal will result in a site cover of the development to 51% on the ground floor
                              and 38% on the first floor, well in excess of the requirements of the planning scheme.
                      b.      The proposed building bulk is incompatible with surrounding development and the
                              particular circumstances of the site, noting that existing development in proximity
                              predominantly complies with the current site cover requirement or achieves a site cover
                              of an average of 40% for each storey.
                      c.      The proposal does not achieve the 20% soft landscaping requirement, and the
                              structures at the basement level impacts upon the opportunity for meaningful
                              vegetation to screen or soften the appearance of the proposed building.
                      d.      The proposed building bulk will be visible and prominent to Mossman Court,
                              surrounding development and from the waterway.
               4.     The proposal does not comply with Acceptable Outcome AO9.1 and AO9.2 and
                      corresponding Performance Outcome PO9 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code as:
                      a.      The proposed building is not designed and sited in a manner consistent with the
                              predominant character of the streetscape and will impact upon on the amenity of the
                              streetscape and adjoining parcels due to the proposed setback encroachments.
                      b.      The laundry, being located within the side setback clearance, reduces solar access to
                              the clothes drying area of the adjoining parcel to the east and does not provide
                              adequate distance from this area.
                      c.      The proposed balcony and roof within the front setback will have a finished height of
                              7.3 metres and cause the building to dominate the street.
               5.     The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 9.3.1.2 (2)(b) of the Low Density
                      Housing Code as the proposed bulk and scale of the dwelling is not sited or designed to
                      protect the amenity of neighbouring premises.
               6.     The proposal is unlikely to be able to comply with Acceptable Outcome AO6 and
                      Performance Outcome PO6 of the Low Density Housing Code as the basement within the
                      boundary setbacks will limit the ability to provide soft landscaping, including screening to
                      surrounding land uses.
