The City has received a planning application for a Carport at Lot 547 (No. 16) Werang Entrance, SOUTH GUILDFORD. The Lot is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Residential with a density code of R20 under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 17.
The proposal consists of the following particulars:
- 6.5m x 6m (2.83m maximum height) carport
- Setback 1.3m from the western lot boundary
- Setback 4.5m from the primary street boundary
The proposal varies the deemed-to-comply provisions of ‘Clause 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks’ of the Residential Design Codes by virtue of proposing a 1.3m setback in lieu of the required 1.5m setback.
The associated performance criteria of 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks are 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.
Submissions ending: 20 May 2025
