The proposed development has been assessed against the provisions of the Blue Mountains Development Control Plan 2015 with significant points of consideration identified and discussed in the table below.

Part B Context, site analysis and design

Y

B2 Building envelope Front Setback

Part B2.3.1 requires the front building setback to be within 20% of the average setback of buildings on immediately adjoining properties. The front setback range permitted to Cunningham Street is calculated to be 10.8m to 16.2m. The dwelling is proposed to be located on the site of the existing dwelling which is to be demolished. The proposed setback of 27.3m is not within the range however it is considered that the building will comply with the

Y


12 of 22

Part B Context, site analysis and design


objectives of Part B2.3.1 despite a numeric non-compliance. The bulk and scale is consistent with the streetscape and promotes a landscape setting by maintaining and adding to the established garden. Solar access to adjoining properties will not be impacted. The building responds to the site constraints and care has been taken to retain existing vegetation. The setback will allow the current landscaped frontage to Cunningham Street to be maintained.

Secondary frontage setback

A minimum secondary frontage setback of 3m is required to Beechmount Avenue. The dwelling complies with a setback to the deck of 4.9m and 6.1m to the dwelling wall. The shed is proposed with a 2m setback which does not meet the numeric control. The shed is proposed to replace a smaller existing prefabricated metal shed. The location of the shed was selected to minimise the removal of established vegetation. Moving the shed back 1m would require the removal of a tree. The shed is a minor structure at 17m2 and 3.13m high and will be clad with timber to blend with the landscaping. Landscape screening is proposed between the shed and the secondary road frontage. Buildings within 3m of the frontage are not out of character in the street and it is considered that the setback will not have an adverse impact on the streetscape and will achieve the objectives of Part B2.3.1.

Y

B3 Character and design The development is considered to be site responsive and the scale, materials and colours and design are appropriate for the site given the varied character of the area.

Y

Part C Environmental management


C1 Biodiversity and Natural resources

The majority of existing trees and vegetation will be retained. The site disturbance is reduced as the new dwelling will be in a similar location to the existing dwelling.

Y

C3 Landscaping The existing landscaping is extensive and the majority will be retained. New suitable landscaping will be provided to the dwelling setback in accordance with the landscape plan.

Y

C5 Tree and vegetation preservation

The majority of existing vegetation will be retained. Y

Y

Ancillary development

F1.3.1 Fences A privet (Ligustrum sinense) hedge along the front boundary is a declared weed under Part C DCP 2015 and will be removed. The 1.5m high open style timber batten fence to 22m of the secondary frontage is suitable to replace the existing privet hedge. The fence will allow for a level of privacy, security and passive surveillance without adversely impacting the streetscape.

Y

F1.3.3 Sheds The proposed shed will replace an existing prefabricated shed. The shed is not located behind the building line of the dwelling however it does meet the objectives of the clause. The shed is setback 2m from Beechmount Avenue and is an appropriate scale and will not impact the amenity of
