ADAMS + SPARKES Town Planning Report (30 & 32 The Cockleshell)

MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE AND OPERATIONAL WORKS TO ESTABLISH MULTIPLE HOUSING (2X TYPE 2 DUPLEXES)
AND RECONFIGURATION OF A LOT (ACCESS EASEMENT)                                                                  18

5.5    Residential Uses Code
66.    The proposed development generally complies with all relevant Probable Solutions and Specific
       Outcomes, with the development:
           •    Not being located within close proximity to high voltage electricity lines, or, transformers;
           •    Containing a suitable water supply;
           •    Being designed such that emergency vehicles have suitable access to the site; and,
           •    Not resulting in privacy, or, overshadowing impacts.

67.    The only area of non-compliance with the Residential Uses Code relates to the identification of building
       entrances, as detailed below:

5.5.1 Probable Solution S6.1 – Safety and Security
68.   The proposed development does not comply with Probable Solution S6.1 of the code, with the entrance
      features to each unit not being clearly visible from the road reserve. This is due to the layout of the
      development which internalises the driveway and parking areas, such that the parking and accessways
      do not dominate the streetscape. As a result, the front doors to the dwelling have also been internalised.

69.    Despite this, the development provides for clear wayfinding for visitors and pedestrians through the
       development including an internal vehicle parking area, with the entrance to the units being clearly visible
       from the driveway.

70.    In addition to this, the driveway area and unit entrances contain casual surveillance opportunities from
       the opposite units, which will ensure the safety and security of persons accessing the units are protected.
       Accordingly, the development complies with Specific Outcome O6.


5.6    Reconfiguring a Lot Code
5.6.1 Probable Solution S32.1 – Access Easements
71.   The only element of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code that applies to the establishment of an access easement
      is Probable Solution S32.1, which specifies

          Access easements are designed in accordance Sections 2 and 3 of PSP5 Engineering Design
          Standards – Roads, Drainage and Earthworks.

72.    Please refer to the easement plan prepared by Icon Building Design (Appendix 1), and Figure 7 below,
       which details the extent of the access easement. It is noted that the internal vehicle maneuvering areas
       for both lots have been including within the easement extent to ensure that there are no issues in
       accidental access to a portion of the maneuvering areas that are not located within the easement extent.
