The lot is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Residential Development with a density code of R40 under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No.17
The proposal consists of the following particulars:
- 5.438m x 5.027m, total height 3.372m Carport
This proposal varies the deemed to comply provisions of ‘Clause 5.1.2 Street Setbacks’ by virtue of proposing a 0.3m setback from the Primary Street in lieu of the required 2m.
The associated performance criteria of 5.1.2 Street Setbacks is as follows:
“Buildings set back from street boundaries an appropriate distance to ensure they:
- contribute to, and are consistent with, an established streetscape;
- provide adequate privacy and open space for dwellings;
- accommodate site planning requirements such as parking, landscape and utilities; and
- allow safety clearances for easements for essential service corridors.”
Additionally, this proposal varies the deemed-to-comply provisions of ‘Clause 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks’ by virtue of proposing a nil setback from the side lot boundary in lieu of the required 1.2m.
The associated performance criteria of 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks is as follows:
“Buildings set back from lot boundaries or adjacent buildings on the same lot so as to:
- reduce impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties;
- provide adequate sunlight and ventilation to the building and open spaces on the site and adjoining properties; and
- minimise the extent of overlooking and resultant loss of privacy on adjoining properties”
Prior to the determination of application, the City wishes to formally invite you to provide a submission on this proposal.
