The City has received a development application for a shed which varies the ‘deemed to comply’provisions of the R-Codes at 23 Harford Avenue, VIVEASH.
The lot is zoned ‘Urban’ under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and ‘Residential’ with a density code of R20/35 under the City of Swan’s Local Planning Scheme No.17.
This application is for an 8.36m length x 7.03m width (58.7m2) shale grey coloured shed. Its wall height will be 3m tall, with the apex roof height being 3.9m tall.
The shed varies 5.4.3 Outbuildings C3 in the following manners:
- Area of shed is 58.7m2 which exceeds 10 percent in aggregate of the site area;
- The shed proposes a 3m wall height in lieu of the prescribed maximum wall height of 2.4m for large outbuildings.
The associated design principle for 5.4.3 Outbuildings is as follows:
