Letter to NC Requesting Changes to Development Approval 16 September 2016 · 132004.240098.6

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



The security shutters and door are setback back into the balcony area and enclose a small portion of
the balcony only, being about 6m² in area. It is suggested that while the part enclosure technically
does not comply with the above condition, this small enclosure has no impact on the appearance of
the balcony and can only be viewed from within the site and mostly when standing directly in front of
Unit 7, at the podium level.

The intention of the condition is to prevent the enclosure of balconies, which potentially increase GFA
and the appearance of building bulk. In this instance, the part enclosure of the balcony makes no
material difference to the appearance of the building.

While is accepted that the condition is desirable as a general rule to prevent the full enclosure of
balconies for multiple unit developments, given the nature of this enclosure the condition should be
amended as follows:

Any deck areas are not to be enclosed with shutters, glass paneling or the like, thus remaining as open
structures, with the exception of Unit 7, which has a 6m² area of the balcony enclosed by security shutters
only.

Condition 20

The Council has advised that the roof top terraces for Lots 9-13 have exceeded 10% of the covered
area and are not complying with the condition of the development approval. Photographs of some of
the terrace areas and existing pergolas are provided in Figure 2, below.
