               AO7.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code


               a) No. of Storeys
                    Much of the basement area is more than 1m above natural ground level. As a result, part of
                    the house would be considered three stories as defined under the planning scheme. However,
                    the actual area of the house that is three stories is limited due to much of the upper level of the
                    house (where above the non-compliant part of the basement) is either an open deck or a void
                    and therefore does not count as a third storey (refer Figure 4).
                    As presented to the street, due to the recess in the upper floor above the garage (refer Figure
                    11), the house presents primarily as a two storey structure.
                    Also, the existing houses on either side of the proposed dwelling are substantial in size,
                    therefore, it will be similar in scale to these dwellings and consistent with the general
                    streetscape.
                    In summary despite the non-compliance with respect to building height and number of storeys.
                    The proposed dwelling is considered to accord with Performance Outcome 7 of the Low Density
                    Residential Zone Code.

Building Height
AO7.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code

a) No. of Storeys

Much of the basement area is more than 1m above natural ground level. As a result, part of
the house would be considered three stories as defined under the planning scheme. However,
the actual area of the house that is three stories is limited due to much of the upper level of the
house (where above the non-compliant part of the basement) is either an open deck or a void
and therefore does not count as a third storey (refer Figure 4).

As presented to the street, due to the recess in the upper floor above the garage (refer Figure
11), the house presents primarily as a two storey structure.

Also, the existing houses on either side of the proposed dwelling are substantial in size,
therefore, it will be similar in scale to these dwellings and consistent with the general
streetscape.

In summary despite the non-compliance with respect to building height and number of storeys.
The proposed dwelling is considered to accord with Performance Outcome 7 of the Low Density
Residential Zone Code.
