Two of the dwellings will have a basement double garage and service area. A total of 11 trees are proposed to be removed from the site, seven of which require planning permission for their removal.

Resolution (CO2012/259)

PART A That Council having complied with Section 52, 58, 60, 61 and 62 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, resolves that a Refusal to Grant a Planning Permit be issued in respect of Application No. P905/2010 for Development of the land for three additional dwellings and associated subdivision including removal of native vegetation at 60 Buckingham Drive HEIDELBERG on the following grounds: Strategic context 1. The site is not considered appropriate for the scale and density of development

proposed and is contrary to the Residential Areas Framework at Clause 21.06-2 of the Banyule Planning Scheme.



4.1 60 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE, HEIDELBERG cont’d Siting, design and neighbouring residential amenity 2. The siting and design of the proposed development will have an overbearing physical

impact upon neighbouring residential property and will have an adverse impact upon local residential amenity contrary to Clauses 15 – Urban Design and 21.04-1 – Housing of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

Mass, bulk, scale and neighbourhood character

3. The mass, bulk and scale of the built form of the proposal is contrary to both the existing and preferred character of the neighbourhood and would erode the spacious and well landscaped character and have an adverse visual impact on the streetscape contrary to Clauses15.01-1 – Urban Design, 21.04-1 – Housing, 21.06 – Built Environment, 22.02 - Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy and Standards B1 – Neighbourhood Character, B17 – Side and rear setbacks and B31 – Design Detail of Clause 55 and Standard C6 – Neighbourhood Character, of Clause 56 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

Open space/landscaping 4. Inadequate space has been provided throughout the development, including the front

set back, to provide for tree retention and new landscaping to adequately soften views of the development from the street and neighbouring land and enhance the landscape character of the area contrary to Clauses 12 – Environmental and Landscape Values, 21.05 – Natural Environment, 21.04-1 – Housing, 21.06 – Built Environment, 22.02 – Residential Neighbourhood Character Policy, 42.01 –Environmental Significance Overlay – Schedule 4 and 42.03 – Significant Landscape Overlay – Schedule 1, Standards B1 – Neighbourhood Character and B13 – Landscaping of Clause 55, Standard C8 – Lot Area and Building Envelopes and C12 – Integrated Urban Landscape of Clause 56 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

Vegetation removal 5. The proposed development fails to sufficiently avoid and minimise the removal of native

vegetation contrary to Clause 52.17 – Native Vegetation, of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

Car parking/access/manoeuvring space 6. Inadequate information has been submitted or provision made for vehicle access and

parking to service the development in accordance with Design Standard 1 – Accessways and Design Standard 3 – Gradients of Clause 52.06 and Standards B14 – Access and B15 – Parking of Clause 55 and Standard C21 – Lot access of Clause 56 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

General ResCode non compliance 7. Inadequate provision has been made for the front set back of the development contrary

to Standard B6 of Clause 55 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme. 8. Inadequate storage facilities are provided to service the development contrary to

Standard B30 – Storage of Clause 55 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme.



4.1 60 BUCKINGHAM DRIVE, HEIDELBERG cont’d 9. The proposed paling fence within the front garden of Dwelling 1 would be visually

obtrusive and out keeping with the generally open plan and well landscaped front garden character of the area contrary to Standard B32 – Front fences of Clause 55 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

10. Inadequate provision has been made for bin storage and mail box facilities contrary to

Standard B34 –Site services of Clause 55 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme. 11. Inadequate information has been provided to ensure that stormwater run-off

management and service provision will not have any adverse impact upon landscaping and trees to be retained on the site contrary to Standards C25 – Urban run-off management and C27 – Shared trenching of Clause 56 (ResCode) of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

General 12. The proposal is contrary to the order and proper planning of the area. PART B 13. That Council officers ensure suitable senior legal and other specialist (including

planning and heritage) representation be engaged in the event the matter proceeds to VCAT.

14. That local MPs within the City of Banyule be advised of Council’s decision and Council
