Burwood Consolidated DCP Pt 4 - Appian Way Conservation Area
R7 Upper floor extensions should be contained within the existing roofline, with
roof forms of a high pitch (30 to 35 degrees) required to accommodate a
proposed attic level. Such roof additions should access daylight from
appropriately scaled dormer windows only where otherwise flat-in-plane
window only should be provided.
R8 Other forms of alterations and additions, which do not satisfy Controls R1-R7,
are unacceptable.
R9 Roofs of all residential buildings should be finished with either slates or
unglazed Marseilles terracotta tiles, as appropriate, with roofs to be completed
as a single entity. Patching of roof materials to be undertaken from rear to
front and side elevations, with replacements occurring to the whole of the rear,
as necessary, to allow existing material to be recycled for use on the side and
front roof slopes.
Note: Repairs to slate roofs is a specialist’s job where colour, texture and material
weight need special consideration. Patching with recycled materials may leave an
undesirable “mottled” effect.
