8.2 HERITAGE CONSERVATION (CONTINUED)<br />
Objectives<br />
1 To conserve items of<br />
historical, scientific,<br />
cultural, social,<br />
archaeological,<br />
architectural, natural or<br />
aesthetic value.<br />
2 To enable the viable<br />
adaptive reuse of Heritage<br />
Items, and their integration<br />
into the physical, cultural<br />
and economic life of the<br />
area.<br />
3 To encourage the<br />
restoration of Heritage<br />
Items.<br />
4 To ensure that car parking<br />
facilities do not have any<br />
adverse visual impact<br />
upon Heritage Items.<br />
Controls<br />
Development to a Heritage Item<br />
1 The external building features of a Heritage Item, are to be<br />
conserved where possible. The interior spaces and internal fabric of<br />
Heritage Items are to be retained where they are significant.<br />
2 Additions to Heritage Items must include detailing, finishes and<br />
materials, that are sympathetic to the item.<br />
3 The scale of additions and alterations to a Heritage Item must<br />
respect the existing ridge and eaves heights.<br />
4 Extensions, alterations and additions must be located at the rear or<br />
side of the building to maintain the streetscape integrity.<br />
5 Extensions must not visually dominate or compete with the original<br />
scale of the existing buildings to which they are added.<br />
6 To ensure the conservation of the Heritage Item, the adaptive reuse<br />
of an Item is possible. Substantial alteration of the Heritage Item is<br />
generally not supported.<br />
7 Development involving adaptive reuse of a Heritage Item may<br />
require the preparation of a Heritage Conservation Management<br />
Plan (CMP) to guide change.<br />
8 Gardens, garden structures, landscaping and vegetation which<br />
contribute to the significance of a Heritage Item are to be conserved.<br />
9 Subdivision of a Heritage Item will only be supported where:<br />
i) evidence of the original and significant setting, landscape and<br />
subdivision pattern can be recognised and/or retained; and<br />
ii) the subdivision does not adversely affect the cultural significance<br />
of the Heritage Item.<br />
10 All car parking must be at least 1.5m behind the existing building<br />
line.<br />
11 Re-arrangement of vehicular access and car parking, must not<br />
dominate the principal elevations of Heritage Item.<br />
