                      the proposed amendments to the approved design of the dwelling
                      will not alter the impacts that the development will have on the
                      vegetation or topography of the site.

        Roof Form
        Although some of the roof complies with the Council’s preferred 5 degree roof
        pitch, the majority has a 1 degree pitch. Nonetheless, it is considered that the
        proposed roof pitch is consistent with the character of the local area as the
        majority of the surrounding dwellings were constructed under the superseded
        planning scheme which did not include any provisions relating to roof pitch.
        Furthermore, the elevations show that the proposed eaves and sunhoods will
        provide shading to the building. Overall, it is considered that the proposed roof
        form can be supported as the dwelling has an attractive modern appearance, is
        well articulated, will not present as excessively bulky to the adjoining residents
        and is consistent with the character of the prevailing area.

b) result in additional referrals or change level of assessment
There were no referral agencies for the original application and a review of the Sustainable
Planning Regulations 2009, has identified that if this application were re-made under the
“applicable law” with, or without, the proposed changes, no referrals would be triggered.

d) Prohibited development
The proposed amendments do not involve prohibited development.

For the reasons set out above, it is considered that the proposed changes to the approved
detached house satisfy the criteria for a Permissible Change. On this basis, it is considered
that this request can be dealt with pursuant to sections 369 – 377 of SPA.

As you will be aware, Section 375 of SPA states that the Council’s decision on the permissible
change request must be made within 30 business days after receipt of the request. We
therefore look forward to receiving Council’s decision on this request on, or around, 11
February 2015.

Please do not hesitate to contact the writer on 5443 5566 should you have any queries.

Yours faithfully
