11 Robert St - Planning Report

Front setback

A 300mm encroachment consisting of a small portion of the eaves encroach into the front street
setback. This is considered an extremely minor encroachment and given it is an eave will not cause
overlooking of neighbouring properties, impede views or cause noise issues.

Given that the superseded planning scheme permitted 600m of eaves into setbacks, the proposal
is consistent with all surrounding front setbacks, given the age of the surrounding development. It is
considered the proposal fully complies with PO12.

Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
The purpose of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code is to ensure multiple dwellings are
of a high-quality design which appropriately respond to local character, environment and amenity
considerations.

Applicant’s Response:

The proposed duplex has been assessed against the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
and is considered to be consistent with the Purpose, Overall and most of Acceptable Outcomes of
the Code. The proposed multiple dwelling is located on land that is appropriate for medium density
residential living.

Works Codes
These codes largely relate to the provision of services and infrastructure associated with the
proposed development of the subject land.

The subject site currently has access to, or is capable of being connected to, an appropriate level
of infrastructure for its intended urban residential use.
