The City has received a planning application for a patio at Lot 752 (No. 28) Wintergreene Drive, BENNETT SPRINGS.
The lot is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Residential Development with a density code of R20 under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No.17.
The proposal consists of the following particulars:
- A 10.1m x 2.8m, 2.901m high patio attached to the existing dwelling in the rear yard of the property.
This proposal varies the deemed-to-comply provisions of ‘Clause 5.1.3 Lot Boundary Setbacks’ by virtue of proposing a 0.5m setback in lieu of the required 1.5m.
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.
Submissions ending 16 December.
