PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        8 MAY 2018


Roof pitch
The revised plans detail a revised roof pitch of 2 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 revised roof form will not be imposing to the surrounding area and maintains 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 reduce the maximum height of the building from 15.84
meters to 15.74 metres whilst also changing the areas of encroachment over 15 metres.
It is noted that encroachment is generally 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.
The following images and table provide a comparison of the intrusion above the 15 metre limit for
the existing approval and the current proposal for building 4A.
