Development Application for permit to damage vegetation - OPW13/0647

22/08/2013


Please find attached additional information to support our application, we apologise for the
lack of information in the initial application however we were unaware how to complete the
required information correctly.

As per the application and also the plan attached we seek approval to remove native
vegetation in order to put in rear access to our land as well as erecting a fence to contain
our dog on our property.



The black hashed area on the plan denotes the area for the rear access. On purchasing
the land there was a verbal agreement with the developer that we would be able to use the
easement to the east of our land for rear access. However on building our shed, which the
developer did not approve of, he has removed our access rights to this easement, we have
also provided copies of communications from the developer stating this. We are now
faced with not having access to the rear of our land other than through the vacant lot next
to us, the owners of this land are about to begin development which will then leave us with
no access to the rear of our property. This will cause many problems, not only to access

for our shed but also to allow larger machinery, trucks etc to the rear of our land for future
landscaping, mulch deliveries and spreading etc as well as emergency service access if
required. Once the area is cleared and the driveway and fence are completed on both our
side and the neighbours side of the driveway will be heavily planted again to provide
screening and also encourage the native wildlife to the area.

We also require a dog fence to contain our pet dog to our land. Whilst we are clearing
native vegetation we would like to remove any required undergrowth to erect the fence,
which is marked on the plan with a red line. The fence is proposed to border the driveway
on the west   through the bush on the south and also down the eastern side of the property.

We would request a site visit in order to adequately explain and show our plans which are
under consideration.
