PLANNING POTENTIAL

(c) is located within, or is attached to, or is separate from, the principal dwelling.

The proposal for a secondary dwelling meets the standard instrument definition in addition to the requirements of Clause 5.4:-

• The dwelling will be located to the rear of the allotment in conjunction with the principal dwelling. The dwelling is detached from the principle dwelling and is situated on the same title.

The proposal is considered to be consistent with the above definitions.

Objectives of the R1 General Residential Zone

The proposal is not contrary to the aims of the LEP or the objectives of the R1 zone. The development relates to and is consistent with the zone objectives which seek to:

• Provide for the housing needs of the community • Provide for a variety of housing types and densities • Enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to meet the day to day

needs of residents • Ensure development is ordered in such a way as to maximise public transport

patronage and encourage walking and cycling in close proximity to settlement • Ensure that development along the Southern Link Road has an alternative access.

The proposed development contributes to the city's additional housing stock as well as providing for a variety of housing types and densities. Secondary dwellings are generally small in area and are recognised as affordable types of residential accommodation. The site fronts Lords Place, which is a recognisable thoroughfare for pedestrians, vehicle movements and public transport routes.

The proposal is generally consistent with the objectives of the zone.

Page I 10

Part 2 - Permitted or prohibited development

The proposed development for a secondary dwelling (and detached garage) is permitted in the R1 General Residential zone as per the provisions of the land use table. The permitted development is subject to development consent.

2.7 Demolition

Consent for demolition is sought under these provisions. Demolition works will be minor and relate to the existing external structure at the rear of the site where the new secondary dwelling is to be located.

Demolition works will be undertaken in accordance with the Australian standards and workplace and safety requirements.

Figure 4: Heritage Map {Source: Orange LEP 2011)

The Central Heritage Conservation Area of Orange seeks to identify and promote the heritage characteristics of these older parts of town. The nature of the proposed development does not interrupt this ongoing connection with the intrinsic character of the Heritage Conservation Area (HCA).

The allotment fronts Lords Place with all the new development located to the rear of the site. The Lords Place streetscape remains unnaltered. Whilst the site is located within the HCA there is a variety of styles and ages of buildings within close proximity to the site. Colour schemes are yet to be finalised however will be appropriate for the locality and be sympathetic to the heritage elements of the HCA. It is considered a colour scheme can be conditioned subject to any approval granted.

Thus, the development will have a neutral or beneficial impact on the heritage significance of the Heritage Conservation Area.

Part 6 - Urban Release Areas

The proposed development is not a part of an urban release area.

Part 7 - Additional Local Provision

7.1 Earthworks

The objectives of this clause are as follows:

(a) to ensure that earthworks for which development consent is required will not have a detrimental impact on environmental functions and processes, neighbouring uses, cultural or heritage items or features of the surrounding land,

(b) to allow earthworks of a minor nature without requiring separate development consent.

Page I 13

Earthworks will be required for the development in order to create level building pads for the proposed secondary dwelling, detached garage, open space areas and vehicle areas. Consent is sought for earthworks associated with the proposed development.

Sediment control measures will be implemented onsite prior to any commencement of works to ensure there is no disruption to drainage either on the site or adversely affecting any adjoining properties.

The site has no known contamination issues and is not known to contain any Aboriginal, European or archaeological relics.

Furthermore, the site is not in proximity to any waterway, drinking catchment or sensitive area.

The proposal is considered to be acceptable in regard to earthworks.

7.2 Flood planning

The subject site has not been identified as being affected by local overland flow.

7.3 Stormwater management

This clause applies to all industrial, commercial and residential zones and requires that Council be satisfied the proposed development has minimal impact upon urban stormwater on the land and on adjoining downstream properties, native bushland and receiving waters.

The proposal has been designed to include permeable surfaces in addition to connection to the existing urban stormwater system. Stormwater will be directed to the stormwater system at street level; being Lords Place. It is considered the proposal will not have any significant impact of stormwater run-off on adjoining downstream

properties, native bushland and receiving waters. Furthermore, erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented as per standard practise and in accordance with the "Blue Book" (Managing Urban Stormwater -- Soils and Construction).

As such, the proposal is considered to be acceptable in regard to stormwater management.

7.4 Terrestrial biodiversity

The subject land is not identified as being affected by terrestrial biodiversity.

7.5 Riparian land and watercourses

The subject land is not identified as being affected by riparian land and/or watercourses.

7.6 Groundwater vulnerability

The subject land is identified as "Groundwater Vulnerable" on the Groundwater Vulnerability Map. The objective of the clause seeks to protect hydrological functions of groundwater systems and protect resources from both depletion and contamination.

The proposal for a secondary dwelling and detached garage is not anticipated to involve the discharge of toxic or noxious substances and is therefore unlikely to contaminate the groundwater or related ecosystems. The proposed development will be connected to reticulated sewer. The proposal does not involve extraction of groundwater and will therefore not contribute to groundwater depletion. The proposal avoids impacts on groundwater and is therefore considered to be acceptable and not contrary to the objectives of the clause.

7 .11 Essential services

Development consent must not be granted to development unless the consent authority is satisfied that any of the following services that are essential for the proposed development are available or that adequate arrangements have been made to make them available when required:

• Supply of water • Supply of electricity • Disposal and management of sewerage • Storm water drainage or on-site conservation • Suitable road access

Page I 16

The subject site has been used for ongoing residential use since the original/principal dwelling was constructed circa 1930's. All services are currently available in the locality for the purpose of residential use which includes reticulated sewer and water, electricity, telecommunications (including NBN), and gas. Access will be retained via the existing access point off Lords Place.

3.2 REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLANS

Central West & Orana Regional Plan 2036 applies to the proposal. The proposal supports Goal 4: Dynamic, Vibrant and Healthy Communities and Direction 25: Increase housing diversity and choice. The proposal will result in the addition of a small 2 bedroom dwelling to the rear of the existing building. This allows for opportunity to meet affordable housing options within the City. The site is in proximity to the town centre (approximately 680m away) with both good pedestrian and public transport access.

The proposal is not contrary to the goals and directions of the regional plan.

3.3 STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES

State Environmental Planning Policy No.55 Remediation of land is applicable to the proposal and must be considered in any development proposal.

The proposed development is for continued residential use of the land. The site has not been used for any known approved activities which would render the soil contaminated to such a degree as to prevent the future development of the land for the purposes of a secondary dwelling. It is noted that surrounding land in the immediate vicinity has a residential use component.

As such, the proposal is considered to be consistent with the provisions of the SEPP.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Building Sustainability Index: BASIX) 2004 applies to the proposed development.

Statement of Environmental Effects "" PLANNING POTENTIAL.

A BASIX Certificate is submitted in support of the proposal to meet the requirements of the SEPP. The proposed development will satisfy the provisions of BASIX in respect of water, thermal comfort, and energy.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009 applies Page I 17

The proposed development is for a secondary dwelling, the subject allotment exceeds 450sqm, and so consent cannot be refused on the basis that the Lot size is too small (cl. 22).

The secondary dwelling does not need to be serviced by a dedicated car parking space (cl. 22), and as such there is no mechanism available to require these provisions to be made available for the secondary dwelling.

Furthermore, a dedicated, separate private open space area does not need to be provided for the secondary dwelling, as implied by Schedule 1 of the SEPP (for complying development provisions).

Council's previous view and assessment of similar proposals has implied that it follows that a merits-assessment pursuant to a Development Application should not be more onerous than this "complying" provision. The same principle has been applied for this application.

3.4 PROVISIONS OF ANY DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING INSTRUMENT THAT HAS BEEN PLACED ON EXHIBITION s4.15(1 )(a)(ii)

There are no draft environmental planning instruments that relate to the subject land or the proposed development.

3.5 PROVISIONS OF ANY DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN s4.15(1)(a)(iii)

Development Control Plan (DCP) 2004 is applicable to the proposed development. The following parts of the comprehensive DCP are considered to be applicable to the proposed development: ­

Chapter 3-- General Considerations

3.1 Cumulative Impacts

7.7.1 Planning Outcomes - Neighbourhood Character

The locality is characterised by residential development consisting of a mix of single storey detached homes of varying ages from the 1930's to 1980's, some multi dwelling housing (units) in Lords Place, March Street and Parker Place, with some former dwellings being utilised for health related businesses.

There is limited vegetation on the site, and the Landscaping Plan proposed as part of the development will enhance key elements of the character of the locality. The Lords Place street frontage, being the primary frontage, will be unaltered by the development. The remainder of the site includes landscaping elements to provide visual amenity and privacy to both occupants and neighbouring properties.

It is considered that the proposed development is compatible with the overall general neighbourhood character of the locality within the Central Orange Heritage Conservation Area.

7.7.2 Planning Qutcomes- Building Appearance

Building appearances at the primary frontage (Lords Place) will be unchanged, with no changes to the principal dwelling proposed with all development to be single storey in nature and located to the rear of the allotment behind the existing dwelling.

The proposal does not detract from the streetscape.

The allotment has one street frontage only; being Lords Place.

The proposed external finishes for the development, are modern in both materials and appearance however are considered to be acceptable for the neighbourhood. Proposed materials include facebrick, aluminium windows and doors, with colorbond fencing and roof sheeting.

Colour scheme will be appropriate for the locality and be sympathetic to the heritage elements of the HCA. It is considered a colour scheme can be conditioned subject to any approval granted.

A Landscaping Plan and Planting Schedule has been provided for the proposed development in accordance with reference to Orange City Council's Parks, Gardens and Your Garden Guide 02/2007. It allows for the inclusion of additional landscaping elements to enhance the development as well as providing visual privacy and amenity to the site occupants and neighbours.

The development has a site coverage of 37.9%, which is well within Councils acceptable range. The R1 zone allows for single residential dwellings, dual occupancies and multi dwelling housing which is consistently applied across the immediate locality.

It is considered the proposal meets and/ or exceeds Councils planning provisions and provides for reasonable amenity.

7.7.3 Planning Outcomes - Heritage

The proposed site and locality are located within the Central Orange Heritage Conservation Area. The site is not identified as an item of environmental heritage. As the proposal is for infill development to the rear of the site, the proposal does not change the existing heritage characteristics of the streetscape or surrounding locality. The design elements of the development are considered satisfactory or can be made satisfactory through imposition of some clear conditions (if required). Thus, the development will have a neutral or beneficial impact on the heritage significance of the Heritage Conservation Area.

7.7.4 Planning Outcomes -- Setbacks

Page I 20

Building setbacks from the public street will remain unchanged as the infill development will be to the rear of the allotment utilising the existing access point off Lords Place.

The new detached garage will be located behind the primary dwelling.

It is considered that the proposal meets the DCP requirements for setbacks.

7.7.5 Planning Outcomes -- Fences & Walls

Perimeter fencing is existing. There are no changes to existing fencing on the site.

No front walls or fences are proposed for the development.

7.7.6 Planning Outcomes -- Visual Bulk

The proposed development will be detached and single storey which is consistent with the residential development within the locality.

No building envelopes are registered on the title; however, the proposed design does comply with the requirements for visual bulk with the residential buildings generally contained within the envelopes generated by planes projected at 45° over the site at 2.5m above the existing ground level (vertical building envelopes). There are no recognisable encroachments on the vertical building envelope for the secondary dwelling.

All proposed dwellings are single storey in design and appear as single storey residential dwellings.

The proposed development is consistent with the site coverage requirements for residential development not exceeding 50%. Overall site coverage for the proposed development is 37.9% which is well within the acceptable site coverage limits.

Statement of Environmental Effects • PLANNING POTENTIAL

7.7.7 Planning outcomes -- Walls & Boundaries

Setbacks for all buildings and boundaries have been provided on the submitted plans. The proposal can meet the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) for distances from side and rear boundaries.

7.7.8 Planning outcomes - Daylight & Sunlight Page I 21

Shadow diagrams and calculations are provided for 21°June and has been submitted with the application for the proposed secondary dwelling. These can be viewed on Plans DA07 -- DA10.

Having regard to the lot orientation and the detached single storey design of the dwellings, the proposed development will not unreasonably impact upon the solar access of the development and adjoining sites.

7.7.9 Planning Outcomes -- Views

The proposed development will not significantly impact on any views and/or vistas from neighbouring dwellings given the single storey design and the existing neighbourhood character. The proposed development does not adversely impact upon any views of Mount Canobolas or the surrounding panorama is considered to be minimal or negligible.

Views to prominent areas, landmarks, or heritage items will not be diminished as a result of the development.

7. 7 .1 0 Planning Outcomes - Visual Privacy

The proposed development is unlikely to present issues in relation to visual privacy and/or overlooking due to the single storey design and orientation of the windows to the private open space areas of new secondary dwelling. Direct views have been minimised based on floor plan design, separation distance, fencing and window style/height and being offset to adjoining properties. Additional landscaping elements along the northern boundary has also been included to provide further visual relief and privacy between the occupants and neighbouring allotment to the north.

Private open space areas are all provided to the rear of the principal dwelling with the secondary dwelling also providing separate private open space areas outside of the dedicated living areas. The provisions of the SEPP (Affordable Housing) indicate that private open space can be shared between the principal and secondary dwellings. Regardless, in this instance, a separate area has been dedicated.

It is considered that the development provides for adequate and suitable private open space areas.

Statement of Environmental Effects Cl E PLANNING POTENTIAL

7.7.11 Planning Outcomes -Acoustic Privacy

There will be limited openings and opportunities for transfer of noise between the secondary dwelling and surrounding properties. Further, the secondary dwelling is for a residential use and as such noise generated from these uses are likely to be within community expectations for noise levels in a General Residential Zone.

7. 7 .12 Planning Outcomes - Security

Page I 22

Formal crime risk assessment is not required as the proposed development is for less than twenty (20) dwellings; however, consideration of Part B Principles for minimising risk is still required for consideration for good planning practice.

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) acknowledges that the built environment influences the likelihood of criminal behaviour taking place and consequently encourages the application of design features, routine activities and space management practices which alter conditions that create opportunities for criminal behaviour.

The CPTED identifies four (4) principles to be used to minimise the opportunity for crime: ­

• Surveillance • Access control • Territorial reinforcement • Space management

Surveillance The proposed development will provide clear sightlines between the public street and private entrances of the dwellings. This will be assisted by street lighting and outside lighting for each of the dwellings. In this instance the existing streetscape will remain unaltered with the new development to the rear of the site.

Access control The guidelines indicate that physical and symbiotic barriers can be used to attract, channel or restrict the movement of people. They minimise opportunities for crime and increase the effort required to commit crime.

Proposed landscaping and perimeter fencing will delineate the boundaries for the development and identify the separation of the principal dwelling and the secondary dwelling.

Territorial reinforcement Territorial reinforcement and space management look at the design and use of public space. This element is not considered relevant due to the proposed scale and location of the development.

Space Management Space management also ensures that space is appropriately utilized and well cared for. This entails site cleanliness and repair of property, graffiti or vandalism.

Statement of Environmental Effects PLANNING POTENTIAL

The proposed development is considered to be consistent with the CPTED principles and the planning outcomes identified within the DCP for security.

7. 7 .13 Planning Outcomes -- Public Transport

The proposed development is a secondary dwelling only. Whilst access to public transport is not required to be considered under the DCP provisions, based on the sites location pedestrian and public transportation options are available.

7.7.14 Planning Outcomes -- Circulation Design

Page I 23

The proposed development will utilise the existing access and driveway off Lords Place. No changes to access are proposed. The SEPP (Affordable Housing) provisions state that secondary dwellings do not need to be serviced by a dedicated car parking space (cl. 22), and as such there is no mechanism available to require these provisions to be made available for the secondary dwelling. It should be acknowledged that regardless of the provision, there is adequate on street parking available in Lords Place if required.

The development also includes the construction of a new detached garage behind the existing dwelling (principal dwelling) will can be utilised by both dwellings.

Turn path on the submitted Proposed Site Plan (DA02) shows that vehicles utilising the detached garage are able to enter and leave the site in a forward direction.

7.7.15 Planning Outcomes - Carparking

The DCP requires the following provisions for car parking as per the Car Parking Table:

Dwellin size or number of bedrooms Average car parking per dwelling

Visitor Parking

1.0 spaces per unit 1.1 spaces per unit 1.5 spaces per unit 0.2 spaces per unit

The proposed development consists of 1x 2 bedroom dwelling (secondary dwelling) which generates a parking demand of 1.1 spaces per dwelling. Based on the DCP parking provisions a total of 1.1 spaces would be required for the new dwelling.

Based on the provisions of the SEPP (Affordable Housing), the secondary dwelling does not need to be serviced by a dedicated car parking space (cl. 22), and as such there is no mechanism available to require these provisions to be made available for the secondary dwelling. Regardless, a new detached garage is proposed to be constructed to service both the principal dwelling and the new secondary dwelling. Additionally, on street parking is available on Lords Place if required.

7. 7 .16 Planning Outcomes - Private Open Space

The proposed development requires an area of private open space (POS) of at least 50% of the dwelling floor area. The following table provides an analysis of the requirements verses the m2 area to be provided for POS provisions.

Dwellina Livina Area (m) POS reauired (m) POS orovided (m2I Compliance D1 (Principle 168.6 84.3 112.00 ✓ -Yes Dwellina) 02 (Secondary 83.9 41.95 57.00 ✓ -Yes Dwelling/Granny Flat)

Page I 24

The analysis shows that the proposal meets and exceeds the minimum requirement for POS.

Sufficient private open space will be retained on the subject site for both the primary and secondary dwelling. Whilst the SEPP indicates that private open space can be shared this proposal has included separate areas of private open space.

The proposal is considered to meet the compliance requirements for private open space.

7. 7 .17 Planning Outcomes - Open Space & Landscaping

The site consists of an existing dwelling and a detached rear garage/shed. Vegetation consists of medium sized trees within the front setback area, small shrubs and hedging with the rear yard limited to grassed areas and some scattered trees of varying sizes.

A Landscaping Plan and Planting Schedule has been provided for the proposed development in accordance with reference to Orange City Council's Parks, Gardens and Your Garden Guide 02/2007.

The landscaping schedule provides for soft landscaping, trees, grasses, groundcovers and hedging plants. All plant species will be carefully considered for drought tolerance.

Landscaping will be provided to assist in the delineation between the principal dwelling and the secondary dwelling whilst also providing visual amenity, privacy and aesthetics to both the occupants and neighbouring properties.

7. 7 .18 Planning Outcomes - Stormwater

Stormwater will be directed to the street to the city's urban stormwater system.

The site contains landscaped areas that will also assist in onsite filtration.

A BASIX Certificate has been submitted with the proposal. The development will comply with the provisions of BASIX in relation to water, thermal comfort and energy.

3.7 THE LIKELY IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT s4.15(1)(b)

Context and Setting

The land is located within an established residential locality which includes single storey residential dwellings, dual occupancies and residential unit sites. The development does not propose to change land use or introduce new land uses to the site or locality. The site is in close proximity to the town centre with the surrounding locality being a mix of both residential and health related businesses.

Visual amenity

The site is located in a residential zone and area. The proposed development will retain the land for continued residential use. Development is of single storey

PLANNING POTENTIAL

construction located to the rear of the site. The Lords Place streetscape will remain unaltered and as such the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area remains intact. Reasonable landscaping elements will be incorporated to assist in visual amenity and neighbourhood character consistent with DCP provisions and the surrounding locality. The proposed development is not anticipated to have any adverse impact upon the visual privacy, sunlight hours or overshadowing of the site or surrounding locality.

Access and traffic

Access to the proposed development will be via the existing access point off Lords Place. Based on the elements of the SEPP proposed parking and manoeuvring are considered to be adequate for the development. Essentially the provisions of the SEPP (Affordable Housing) state that the secondary dwelling does not need to be serviced by a dedicated car parking space (cl. 22), and as such there is no mechanism available to require these provisions to be made available for the secondary dwelling. Regardless, a new detached garage is proposed to be constructed to service both the principal dwelling and the new secondary dwelling. Additionally, on street parking is available on Lords Place if required.

Additional future traffic will be generated as a result of the development for a secondary dwelling however, it is considered that the capacity of the road network is sufficient to accommodate additional localised vehicle movements associated with the development.

The RTA Guide to Traffic Generating Development (for residential dwellings) recommends a minimum of one parking space (preferably two) for dwelling houses; however if there is dual occupancy on a residential lot, a minimum of two parking spaces is recommended.

It is considered the proposal meets or exceeds these requirements.

Cumulative Impacts

The proposed development is for use of the site for residential purposes. The proposal is for additional residential development to the rear of the existing residential structure. Secondary dwellings are a popular form of infill development for which the land is appropriately zoned. The proposed development maintains the surrounding pattern of single storey detached dwellings that characterises the locality. The infill development is not considered to be out of character for the area and does not adversely impact upon the heritage characteristics of the streetscape nor impact amenity (overshadowing and/or privacy).

Economic Impacts

The proposed development is considered to have a positive economic impact which will contribute to additional income for Council and the community through local infrastructure services. The construction of an additional small dwelling has a positive

economic impact upon local suppliers, contractors and builders undertaking the project.

Environmental Impacts

The subject land is located within an established residential area. The land has been modified from its natural state and as such significant vegetation, threatened species or ecological endangered communities or their habitats are unlikely to be present. Environmental impact should have been addressed at the subdivision stage if there were any major concerns.

Page I 27

Climate Change

The NSW Sea Level Rise Policy Statement 2009 outlines the Governments objectives and commitments in regard to sea level rise adaption. A key Government commitment is the promotion and support for an adaptive risk-based approach to managing the impacts of sea level rise. The proposal for a secondary dwelling would not significantly contribute to climate change and will not change the risk profile of the site in regard to the impacts of sea level rise.

Ecologically Sustainable Development

All potential environmental interactions should have regard for the Precautionary Principle (prevent environmental degradation and protect the local environment), Intergenerational Equity (not to compromise the environment for future generations), Improved Valuation and Pricing of Environmental Resources (to utilise the land with minimal environmental impact to result in an economic benefit to the community) and conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrity. The proposal is not considered to present significant threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, with the health, diversity and productivity of the environment maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations and will further support the conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrity.

3.8 THE SUITABILITY OF THE SITE s4.15(1)(c)

The subject site is located within the central residential area of Orange which allows for a range of residential uses. The proposed development for a secondary dwelling and detached garage are considered permissible uses within the R1 General Residential zone. Adequate arrangements can be made for access, drainage and essential services, visual and neighbourhood amenity. On this basis, the subject site is considered to be suitable for the proposed development.

There are no known technological or natural hazards that would affect the proposed development.

4.0 CONCLUSION

This Statement of Environmental Effects report has been prepared as a part of the development application submission to Orange City Council seeking consent for additional development of the site at Lot 25 DP 826452, 295 Lords Place, Orange.

The development proposes the construction of a Secondary Dwelling and a detached Garage. The secondary dwelling will consist of a small 2 bedroom dwelling which includes an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, bathrooms and external attached verandah.

The detached double garage has dimensions of 5.8m x 5.5m

The aim of this Statement has been to:

• describe the proposal; • demonstrate compliance/planning merit of the proposal against the relevant

statutory controls and local planning provisions; and • provide an assessment of the likely environmental effects of the proposal.

The site is suitably located to the rear of an existing residential allotment within central Orange. The locality consists of single storey residential dwellings, dual occupancies and residential units of varying sizes and ages. The site forms a part of the Central Orange Heritage Conservation Area. The integrity of the HCA will be maintained as the streetscape and principal dwelling will remain unaltered. All new development is to the rear of the site. The proposed development can provide for adequate arrangements of access, drainage and essential services. Visual and neighbourhood amenity have been addressed through design with the development not anticipated to have any adverse impact upon the visual privacy, sunlight hours or overshadowing of the site or surrounding locality.

The development complies with the relevant aims, objectives and provisions of the Orange LEP 2011 and the Orange Development Control Plan 2004 (as amended). A section 4.15 assessment of the development indicates that the development is acceptable.

Accordingly, it is requested that Council give favourable consideration to the application.
