Environment & Planning Committee Reports < - Ordinary Meeting <                                          2
1      INTRODUCTION

 On 29 April 1994 Council issued a Town Planning Consent Permit to construct and use 8 multiple
dwelling units. The plans allowed for roof top terraces to units 7 and 8. Condition 2 of the consent
permit required that the pergola on the roof top terrace does not exceed 10% of that area. The
applicant wishes to construct a pergola that would significantly be over the 10% requirement of that
condition. The roof top terrace area is divided into two sections, with a solid brick wall as a
divider. The proposed structure would cover approximately 60% of unit eights section of the
terrace area.

2      ASSESSMENT OF REQUEST

A sight inspection and aerial photo graphs reveal that the area proposed to be covered by the
pergola is already covered with an impermeable shade sail. It can be determined that the existing
shade sail does not have a detrimental impact to the streetscape or neighbouring properties. Due
to vegetation, it can barely be viewed from the street, and as such is not an imposing structure.
The proposed patio will not have any greater impact than the shade sail.

It is noted that unit 7 also has a shade sail on their side of the terrace area. It is noted that no
complaints have ever been received regarding the putting up of the shade sails.

3      CONCLUSION

Due to the limited visibility of the proposed structure and the fact that something similar is already
in place (although erected illegally), the impact is negligible and does not have any significant
detrimental impact on the streetscape or neighbouring properties.
