Planning Report - 23 Edward St Duplex · MCU22/0174

Side setback - Entries

The north entry is setback 0.8m and the south entry is setback 0.78m in lieu of the 1.5m set out by

AO12.1(b)(i) which requires a setback.

Figure 5 provides visual clarity of the extent of the setback sought.




Figure 5 - Setback sought
As demonstrated in Figure 5 above, the variation is minor in nature and complies with PO12 for the
following reasons:

• Will not be imposing on the surrounding properties as it is not a bulky structure as it has open
   sides.

• No additional noise will emanate from the site as a result of the roof as pedestrian traffic is
   directed to this area regardless of if being roofed or not.

• The structure is only slightly higher than a site filled fence height and will not obstruct views.

• Does not create overlooking of surrounding properties.

• Landscaping is proposed in the adjoining garden, noting the structure includes a roof top garden
   which contributes to the overall green setting of the development.

Garages

The garages do not comply with AO15.1 and AO15.2 as the garages are a total of 11m in width which
is 1m greater than 50% of the width of the site and there is not proposed to be 2m separation or
staggered.

The corresponding Performance outcome PO15 is provided for reference.
