Planning Report - 23 Edward St Duplex · MCU22/0174

Garages and Carports

PO15
Garages, garage doors and carports do not dominate the street or the building design

It is considered the proposal, while the double garages face the street, will not be the dominate
feature and meet PO15 because the doors are vertical timber look battening and are more of an
architectural feature than appear as garage doors. In addition, the centrally located driveway, the
fence setback and significant landscaping within the frontage will screen most of the doors. The
building with its roof gardens is proposed in a landscaped setting and will contribute positively to
the streetscape. Noting Council has accepted this design element in Edward Street.
