PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING 11 JULY 2023 5.3 DBW21/0216 - APPLICATION FOR BUILDING WORKS FOR A DWELLING HOUSE AT 60 SEAVIEW TERRACE, SUNSHINE BEACH Author Graduate Development Planner, Jada Lyons Development & Regulation Department Index Application / DBW21/0216 Attachments 1. ATTACHMENT 1 – DBW21 0216 – PLANNER’S REPORT 2. ATTACHMENT 2 - DBW21 0216 - PROPOSED PLANS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A report for this application was presented to Council at the General Committee meeting dated 24 October 2022 that recommended the application be approved subject to conditions. The report was referred to the Ordinary Meeting on 27 October 2022 for further consideration. The applicant stopped the decision-making period before the Ordinary Meeting to further discuss issues raised at the General Committee meeting and provide further amended plans. The original report presented to Council addressed a number of issues regarding geotechnical and coastal hazard processes, site cover, building height, the inclusion of a rooftop terrace and building beyond the Coastal Building Line. During the General Committee meeting concerns were raised regarding the proposed rooftop terrace and issues of overlooking to adjoining properties. Further plans have since been submitted by the applicant that amends the proposed rooftop terrace to address potential overlooking to neighbouring properties. Concerns were also raised regarding the built form design of the dwelling and presentation to the street. An assessment of the relevant planning scheme provisions has been included in the report below regarding these concerns. The proposal is recommended for refusal as the rooftop terrace results in a built form and bulk that is not consistent with the character of the area, and it has not been demonstrated that overlooking to neighbouring properties will be mitigated. The proposed site cover, height, side setbacks and built to boundary garage and bin storage area are also not supported. RECOMMENDATION That Council note the report by the Graduate Development Planner to the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 July 2023 regarding Application No. DBW21/0216 for a Development Permit for Building Works – Dwelling House situated at 60 Seaview Terrace, Sunshine Beach and: A.
