Martoo Planning Statement

 Carparking - 2 covered space per dwelling unit          complies                               complies
 and 1 space per 4 dwelling units for visitor parking.



The revised plans maintain the approved built form for the site whilst providing for subtle changes to the
overall character of the building. The changes and areas of non-compliance are still considered minor and
do not impact on the amenity of the area.

Roof pitch

The revised plans detail a revised roof pitch of 3 degrees for the main roof form with secondary roof lines of
up to 9 degrees. The 2017 approved plans detail and approved a 4 degree main roof pitch.

The applicant has revised the roof form to provide a simplified structure that will not be imposing to the
surrounding area and yet still includes variation through different roof lines. Due to the overall height of the
building, variation of the balconies, multiple roof and eave lines the reduced roof pitch does not detract from
the character of the area or building.

Height

Council has previously agreed to relaxations on the site for height on the basis that the sites slope down
from the road and the buildings are set down below the road and are not visible to the surrounding area.
The revised plans maintain the overall height that was approved however increases the height of an area
previously approved at 15.5 meters to 15.8 meters whilst reducing other areas.
The applicant has attempted to simplify the roof form whilst providing variation to the overall building in
terms of balcony and façade treatments and notes that the additional area of encroachment is located to the
centre of the building and will not be readily visible. The project architect details that:

    •     The overall encroachment is the same if not less.
    •     The encroachment areas have not been increased they have been moved.
    •     The encroachment has been pulled away from the street to reduce the visual impact.
    •     The portion at the middle of the roof, is on a clerestory roof that is generally less visible than the
          primary roof.
