Item: 4.6 Attachment 2: Additional Background

ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 23 MARCH 2015 Page 188

To identify strategic redevelopment sites for large residential development in Metropolitan Melbourne.

To provide for a range of housing types to meet increasingly diverse needs.

To deliver more affordable housing closer to jobs, transport and services.

LOCAL PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK

Municipal Strategic Statement

Council’s Municipal Strategic Statement sets the direction for land use and development in Banyule by identifying key planning elements for consideration and nominating a series of objectives and strategies for each. The overarching vision of the Municipality is:

Banyule will be regarded as a city offering a range of quality lifestyles in an urban setting enhanced by the natural environment, and served by an efficient and committed Council.

The relevant objective encompasses Environmental Management. Housing Clause 21.04-1 seeks to encourage higher density housing close to activity centres and the Principal Public Transport Network and protect residential amenity and provide for the desired future neighbourhood character of residential areas. Built environment The objective in relation to Clause 21.06 is:

To ensure that development respects and contributes to the desired future character of residential neighbourhoods and the identity of Activity Centres, in a manner that supports varying degrees of housing change.

Strategies include but are not limited to:

Promoting high quality design in all new residential development that makes a positive contribution to the desired future neighbourhood character.

Encourage the retention and planting of significant trees, substantial trees and other vegetation to protect and improve the landscape character, streetscapes, habitat links and biodiversity of the area.

Support residential development in accordance with the Residential Areas Framework which identifies varying degrees of housing change across the City’s residential neighbourhoods and Activity Centres.

In relation to sustainable design, strategies include:

Support the retention of significant trees and the planting of trees and other vegetation.

In relation to housing, strategies include:

Encourage a substantial proportion of new housing to be located within or close to Activity Centres and the Principal Public Transport Network particularly where there is high frequency and quality of public transport services in operation.

Item: 4.6 Attachment 2: Additional Background

ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 23 MARCH 2015 Page 189

Encourage a range of types and sizes of housing, particularly in areas located close to public transport, services and facilities.

Encourage development to provide a wider range of household types particularly smaller sized dwellings, including those with only one bedroom.

Clause 21.06-2 - Residential Areas Framework identifies that the site is located within an Incremental Area in the indicative map forming part of Clause 21.06 of the Housing Framework Map. Incremental Areas are typically ‘located further away from Activity Centres and the Principal Public Transport Network, where there is less convenient pedestrian access. ‘

Incremental Areas are identified to ‘… provide for well designed single dwellings and medium density dwellings.’ In addition, ‘Development must make a positive contribution to the desired future neighbourhood character, including opportunities for tree protection and planting.’

As an exception, there will be limited opportunities for higher density housing at well located, large strategic redevelopment sites only.

Sites must also be large enough to make a significant contribution to the provision of a diversity of housing types in the area and space for the following:

Buildings and open spaces that provide a transition between abutting dwellings and any taller on-site building component.

Landscaping, including the planting of substantial trees, at streetscapes, boundaries and between buildings.

Development must make a positive contribution to the desired future neighbourhood character, including opportunities for tree protection and planting.

Clause 22.02 Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy

Clause 22.02 of the Banyule Planning Scheme outlines Council’s Neighbourhood Character Policy. Policy objectives are:

To ensure that development complements and respects the desired future character of the area.

To retain and enhance the identified elements that contribute to the desired future character of the area.

To recognise the need for new or additional Design Objectives and Design Responses for areas within and around activity centres that are or will be subject to structure planning or design frameworks.

Discussion on the relevance of Council’s stated desired future character for the Garden Suburban 3 precinct is included in the main planning report. Particular Provisions Clause 52.06 – Car Parking requires 2 car spaces to be provided for each dwelling with three or more bedrooms. REFERRAL COMMENTS

associated with 2 dwellings on a lot

Clause 55.02 (Neighbourhood Character and Infrastructure)

Neighbourhood Character objectives To ensure that the design respects the existing

neighbourhood character or contributes to a preferred neighbourhood character.

To ensure that development responds to the features of the site and the surrounding area

Standard B1

Does not comply

The building has been constructed and already forms part of the existing neighbourhood character. Building bulk and site coverage are not consistent with the preferred neighbourhood character.

The built form includes a tiled hipped roof pitched at an angle that is replicated in the nearby area.

The built form in the area is varied and lacks homogeneity with examples of Bungalow, Interwar, post war and Edwardian houses plus replica Georgian, Queen Ann and Bungalow styles. Recent modern dwellings with dual occupancies also contribute to the character of the area.

The removal of one driveway from the front setback of Dwelling 2 increases the area of open space in front of the site available for landscaping. The extent of landscaping within the front setback will be still less than preferred due to the restricted front setback of the building. Any additional landscaping within the front garden will however provide additional opportunity to soften the presentation of the development to the street. This additional landscaping will make the development more sympathetic to the neighbourhood character but will not completely resolve the visual impact of the existing built form in the streetscape.

A reduction to one crossover conforms to the rhythm of crossovers in the area and maintains on-street parking opportunities.

Residential policy objectives To ensure that residential development is provided in

accordance with any policy for housing in the State Planning Policy Framework and the Local Planning Policy Framework, including the Municipal Strategic Statement and local planning policies.

To support medium densities in areas where development can take advantage of public transport and community infrastructure and services.

Standard B2

Complies

Eaglemont and Heidelberg railway stations are within walking distance and bus routes 546, 548, 551 and 903 are conveniently available.

Dwelling diversity objective To encourage a range of dwelling sizes and types in

developments of ten or more dwellings. Standard B3

N/A

Infrastructure objectives To ensure development is provided with appropriate

utility services and infrastructure.

To ensure development does not unreasonably overload the capacity of utility services and infrastructure.

Standard B4

Clause 55.03 (Site Layout and Building Massing)

Street setback objective To ensure that the setbacks of buildings from a

street respect the existing or preferred neighbourhood character and make efficient use of the site.

Standard B6

Does not comply

The dwellings either side of the subject site are setback some 9.5 to 10 metres from the street alignment. A front setback of a minimum of 9 metres is required under the Standard. Dwellings opposite are set 5.4 – 6.2m from the street, with verandah elements protruding to within 4.1m of the street, contributing to a more varied front setback in the area generally. Whilst setbacks are varied in nature, the vegetation within those setbacks is a significant contributor to the character of the area as a whole.

This building is currently set back 6 to 6.5 metres from the street alignment and is therefore 2.5 to 3 metres short of the setback required by the Standard.

The existing reduced setback, whilst not being the preferred neighbourhood character outcome for the site, is considered to be acceptable subject to the removal of the front driveway from Dwelling 2 and provision of additional tree planting and landscape opportunities, which will bring the development closer to the preferred neighbourhood character of the area.

Building height objective To ensure that the height of buildings respects the

existing or preferred neighbourhood character. Standard B7

Complies

Site coverage objective To ensure that the site coverage respects the

existing or preferred neighbourhood character and responds to the features of the site.

Standard B8

Complies

Total site coverage is 58% and no more than 60% required.

Permeability objectives To reduce the impact of increased stormwater run-

off on the drainage system.

To facilitate on-site stormwater infiltration. Standard B9

Condition required

Total site permeability is approximately 15% and no less than 20% is required under the standard.

Whilst site permeability has been increased within the front setback, permeability has been reduced at the rear of proposed Dwelling 2 as a result of the hard surfacing used in the car park and driveway construction.

By requiring the uncovered car parking space to be made permeable, the site permeability can be increased to approximately 17%. Further changes may be made to hard paving throughout the development to achieve a minimum of 20% permeability and this can be required as a condition of permit.

Energy efficiency objectives To achieve and protect energy efficient dwellings

and residential buildings.

To ensure the orientation and layout of development reduce fossil fuel energy use and make appropriate use of daylight and solar energy.

Standard B10

Complies

Open space objective To integrate the layout of development with any

public and communal open space provided in or adjacent to the development.

Standard B11

N/A

Safety objective To ensure the layout of development provides for

the safety and security of residents and property. Standard B12

To encourage development that respects the landscape character of the neighbourhood.

To encourage development that maintains and enhances habitat for plants and animals in locations of habitat importance.

To provide appropriate landscaping.

To encourage the retention of mature vegetation on the site.

Standard B13

Previous iterations of the proposal contained insufficient areas of private open space to allow for landscaping within the street setback. This was fatal in both Council’s and VCAT’s assessment of the proposal.

The current proposal has improved the amount of front garden area that can accommodate landscaping to soften the presentation of the building to Odenwald Road. Landscaping now provides for a new canopy tree in the frontage of Dwelling 1 and two trees in the frontage of Dwelling 2 as well as a new tree at the rear of this dwelling. This planting will complement existing screen tree planting provided along the eastern side and northern rear site boundary of proposed Dwelling 1. The revised approach to car parking does, however, compromise planting opportunities within the back yard and this is at odds with the existing and preferred neighbourhood character.

Planting details will be required in a landscape plan to reflect the indicative planting layout shown in the architectural drawing.

Access objectives To ensure vehicle access to and from a

development is safe, manageable and convenient.

To ensure the number and design of vehicle crossovers respects the neighbourhood character.

Standard B14

Complies

The previous plans submitted with the application proposed a second crossover to Odenwald Road which was not supported by Council or VCAT.

That feature has now been removed and vehicle access to Dwelling 2 has been provided via the lane at the rear of the land.

Parking location objectives To provide convenient parking for resident and

visitor vehicles.

To avoid parking and traffic difficulties in the development and the neighbourhood.

To protect residents from vehicular noise within developments.

As a result, the southern elevation of proposed Dwelling 1 is required to be located 2.9 metres in from the application site boundary 3 metres either side of this window. A minor encroachment into this area of up to approximately 1 metre exists.

Clause 55.06 (Detailed Design)

Design detail objective To encourage design detail that respects the existing

Whilst the building is already existing and form part of the existing neighbourhood character, the design does not meet all of the preferred neighbourhood character outcomes envisaged under Council’s Neighbourhood Character policy eg. reduced scale of upper levels of buildings. The proposed frontage setback landscape improvements and façade treatment are nevertheless considered to be an improved design outcome for the site.

Front fences objective To encourage front fence design that respects the

existing or preferred neighbourhood character. Standard B32

Condition required

Whilst a replacement fence and pedestrian gate is proposed to take the place of the existing driveway gate for Dwelling 2, it is considered that a more solid section of fence of a plinth and pier design to match the existing wall should be constructed across the existing opening with a pedestrian gate inserted into this. It is also considered that a Section 173 Legal Agreement be required as a condition of permit requiring that no vehicle access/egress to Dwelling 2 shall be obtained to or from Odenwald Road and that the rumpus room within the dwelling as shown on the plans endorsed under this planning permit shall at no time be used for the storage of motor vehicles or boats.

PROPOSAL: Retrospective Approval of Buildings and Works

Associated with Two Dwellings on a Lot

The Ivanhoe Major Activity Centre is in this precinct. The preferred future character of this Activity Centre will be guided by the outcomes of a structure plan.

Parts of the Heidelberg Specialised and Major Activity Centres are in this precinct. The detailed

landscaping and vegetation outcomes for residential sites in these Activity Centres are guided by this

policy. The preferred future built form character of residential sites in these Activity Centres is guided by

the Design and Development Overlay Schedule 5.

Outside Accessible Areas

These areas will protect and enhance the garden suburban character of the precinct with an emphasis

on protecting trees and creating new opportunities for vegetation throughout sites. They will provide for

a mix of well-designed single dwellings medium density dwellings in garden settings, with space around

and between dwellings to create an attractive, treed landscape setting.

The site is located within an Incremental Change Area as identified at Clause 21.06-2 – Residential

Areas Framework.

Objective Complies?

To encourage the retention of buildings that contribute to the character of the precinct. N/A

1. Retain intact and good condition Victorian, Edwardian and Interwar dwellings that contribute to the valued character of the Precinct, as part of new developments.

N/A

2. Alterations and extensions should retain the front façade of dwellings and be respectful to the building

N/A

Discussion

The opportunity to retain the dwelling that was previously located on the land was lost some time ago. The dwelling that has been erected on the land incorporates elements that are complimentary to the architecture of dwellings in the surrounding area, such as a pitched tiled roof.

Objective Complies?

To ensure new buildings and extensions are sympathetic to the current building form and architectural style

Discussion

No new building or extension is proposed to the existing structure although works to alter the façade of the existing building, remove the existing front driveway from Dwelling 2 and infill the garage door opening with masonry and windows form part of the proposal. The rendered external façade and fenestration to the garage door opening is consistent with the appearance of the existing building other dwellings in the area. The opportunity for landscaping within the frontage of the development is a desirable feature and the removal of the driveway to Dwelling 2 will facilitate this. The development uses the slope of the land and the staggered floor levels contribute to breaking up the appearance of the building façade. The deletion of the garage and driveway and increased planting within the front garden will provide some improvement to the appearance of the existing building.

Objective Complies?

To maintain consistency of current front setbacks whilst enable tree planting in front gardens

No

Design Response

8. Dwellings should be setback in line with the predominant front setback of dwellings along the street.

Variation to design

response

9. In accessible areas only, a reduced front setback for new buildings (including basements) may be acceptable, if this respects the predominant front setback of nearby dwellings and supports the planting and future growth of a large tree to maturity.

N/A

10. For corner sites, the front setback of a dwelling facing the side street should be at a transition between the predominant setback along the side street, and the side setback of the dwelling facing the front street.

N/A

Discussion

The dwellings are setback 6 to 6.5 metres back from the site frontage. Whilst a greater setback would reduce the visual prominence of the building within the street, the reduced width of the driveway to Dwelling 1 and the removal of the front driveway to Dwelling 2 would increase the opportunity for meaningful tree planting and landscaping to now occur within the front setback. The removal of the double garage door to Dwelling 2 and its replacement with casement windows and the provision with front fencing to integrate with the design and appearance of the existing front fence will also facilitate the improved visual presentation of the development to the street.

Objective Complies?

To ensure buildings and extensions do not dominate the streetscape or the building, and do not adversely affect the outlook and amenity of neighbouring dwellings

Yes

Design Response

11. Second storey portions of buildings should be recessed from ground level wall surfaces, (including the front façade) incorporated within roof spaces where possible and minimised in height.

Discussion

The predominant issue here is that the building exists and was constructed as a single dwelling without the need to obtain planning permission. The conversion of the dwelling into two dwellings presents an opportunity for the existing stark streetscape presentation to be improved. If the dwelling were to continue to be used as a single dwelling, there would be no opportunity for Council to achieve the improved streetscape outcome that is now sought. The built form of the development steps down the slope of the land to the rear both across the site and from front to rear, which is appropriate. However, the dwellings contains some sheer wall elements that are regrettable and increased setbacks of the upper storeys over the lower storeys would ordinarily be required in this location. In addition, the creation of subfloor elements on dwelling 2 would perhaps have been modified were planning permission required at the outset of the development. However, the building is already lawfully constructed. The proposed conversion of the existing building does alter the fact that the building is already dominant in the streetscape and forms part of the existing character of the area.

Objective Complies

?

To ensure that household services are not a visually prominent feature. Yes

Design Response

15. Solar panels should be located to minimise their visual impact. Air conditioning, rainwater tanks, bins and storage should be located and/or screened so they are not visually obtrusive in the streetscape.

Yes

16. In accessible areas, rooftop plant equipment should be screened and/or located to minimise their visual impact and integrate with the roof form.

To minimise loss of front garden space, and the dominance of vehicle access, storage facilities and built form as viewed from the street

Yes

Design Response

17. Locate carports and garages behind the line of the dwelling. Yes

18. Dedicated car parking spaces should not be provided between the front wall of a dwelling that faces the street, and the front property boundary. Landscaping such as large shrubs and trees in the front setback and garden beds along driveway edges should be provided to discourage car parking in this location

Yes

19. Encourage outcomes that consider the Banyule City Council Residential Vehicle Crossing Policy 2012.

Yes

20. Driveways should include curves and bends that provide sufficient room for landscaping at varying heights.

Yes

21. Driveways should be finished in muted tones that soften their appearance and blend with vegetation.

Yes

Discussion

The garage and car parking for Dwelling 2 has been relocated to the rear of the site. The double garage for Dwelling 1 is located below street level under the main living area of the dwelling. The visual impact of the garage to Dwelling 1 is minimal. The reduction of the width of the driveway to Dwelling 1 and the modifications to the car parking layout and driveway for Dwelling 2 will significantly reduce the visual dominance of car parking facilities to the street, increase the extent of front garden area and improve the streetscape presentation of the building. Increased landscaping opportunities, including three canopy trees, will further assist in softening the scale and setting of the building.

Discussion

The existing driveway to Dwelling 2 will be removed and replaced with landscaping. This will improve the environment for the Dutch Elm street tree located within the nature strip in front of the site. It would not be appropriate for the front garden area adjacent to this street tree to accommodate a large tree due to the presence of the Elm and a medium sized tree of 10 to 12 metres in height would be more appropriate. Sufficient space is available for the planting of two further medium sized canopy trees within the front setback along with further lower and middle storey planting. A new front fence is proposed to replace the driveway gates for Dwelling 2. Elevational details of this fence should be provided and the design be integrated with the design of the existing pier and horizontal rail front fence. The secluded private open space for both of the proposed dwellings is located to rear of the property.

Objective Complies?

To maintain and strengthen the garden dominated streetscape character and landscaped setting of the precinct

Yes

Design Response

25. Retain existing trees wherever possible. If this cannot be achieved, or a tree is considered appropriate for removal, the site should provide adequate space for offset planting of exotic or native trees as appropriate that will grow to a mature height similar to the mature height of the tree to be removed

Yes

26. One (1) medium to large tree should be provided for every 400sqm of site area, with a preference for large trees. This may include existing trees that are worthy of retention. At least one of the large trees should be provided in the front setback.

Yes

27. Buildings (including basements) should be a sufficient distance from at least one side or rear property boundary to enable the planting and growth of medium to large trees. These setbacks should provide sufficient area for future growth of the mature canopy of trees, and understorey planting.

Discussion

The development has already been constructed and no further vegetation is proposed for removal. Further areas of land are to become available for landscaping once the driveway in the frontage of Dwelling 1 is narrowed and the driveway for Dwelling 2 removed and landscaped. Three medium sized canopy trees are proposed for planting with additional shrubs and bushes as part of the landscaping plan for the frontage of the development. A further medium sized tree is to be planted within the rear of Dwelling 2. This planting will complement existing perimeter tree and lower level planting on the site. As the existing development is in-situ, the lack of separation between dwellings cannot be rectified. However, the removal of the garage to Dwelling 2 will assist in presenting the built form of the dwelling to the street as a single dwelling. Whilst site coverage at 58% exceeds the 40% sought under the character policy, this is not able to be achieved without demolition of part of the existing building. However, the additional planting of three canopy trees within the front setback and one canopy tree within the rear garden of Dwelling 2, in addition to the existing perimeter tree and landscape planting along the northern, eastern and western site boundaries, will make some contribution to the well treed objective for the character area. The reduced landscaping area at the rear of Dwelling 2 as a result of the provision of the garage, car parking and driveway facilities is unfortunate but not wholly inconsistent with the emerging character of development along the rear laneway, for example at 49 Mount Street.
