Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU23 0075 [As Published]

               Additionally, the relevant overall outcome of the code seeks that development makes a positive
               contribution to the look and feel of neighbourhoods, by maintaining a low scale character with
               well designed buildings and landscaping that enhance the streetscape.
               Although the proposal does not comply with AO11 and corresponding PO11, the development
               does comply with PO9 and with Overall outcome (2) (c) of the Code.


               Parapet
               AO19.3 of the Medium Density Residential zone code seeks that the total width of any parapet
               wall does not exceed 50% of the width of the front façade of the building. This provision has been
               exceeded in that the width of the garaging parapet wall is 7.4 metres, while the façade is 10.5
               metres.




                                                           Figure 7 – Front Façade

               The proposal is therefore required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO19
               of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code, which states:
               PO19       Roof forms:
                          a.      contribute positively to the local skyline;
                          b.      complement the character of the locality and the topography of the site;
                          c.      avoid box profiles/parapets; and
                          d.      do not create opportunities for overlooking the private open space or internal
                                  spaces of neighbouring properties.
               The development is a two-storey dwelling and includes a pitched roof of the upper storey,
               positively contributing to the local skyline. Acknowledging the garage includes a parapet, the
               pitched roof on the upper storey ensures the development does not present as a box profile and
               will contribute positively to the local skyline.
               Rear Setback
               Acceptable Outcome AO12.1 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code requires buildings
               and structures to have a minimum 6m setback to the rear boundary. The applicant is proposing a
               3.3m setback to the rear boundary and as such does not comply with AO12.1 of the Medium
               Density Residential Zone Code. The proposal is therefore required to comply with corresponding
               Performance Outcome PO12 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code, which states:
               PO12       Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
                          a.      provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                                  including provision of visual and acoustic privacy;
                                                                                                        Page 8 of 13
