In addition to concerns with the proposed development’s consistency with the Overall Outcomes
for the locality the proposal does not comply with the following Specific Outcomes:
(a)   Height, storeys and roof form
(b)   Plot ratio
(c)   Car parking.
These elements are discussed below:
Building Height, Storeys and Roof Form
A maximum building height of 8.0m and 2 storeys is sought under Probable Solution S4.1 (b) of
the Eastern Beaches Locality Code. The maximum height seeks to ensure buildings and other
structures are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
surrounding land so as not to visually dominate the street, adjacent properties and surrounding
spaces.
Whilst the building generally maintains compliance with the 8.0 metre height requirement the height
attributable to the roof lift shaft and lobby is 8.80 metres and results in the development being 3
storeys. A chimney associated with the kitchen extends to a height of approximately 9.80 metres.
Furthermore 44% of the length of the wall to the southern elevation exceeds the 8 metre height
limit, with the maximum height being 8.80 metres. The current approved development includes a
