Ordinary Meeting of Council - 27 February 2007 2 / 7
20 to 22 Tryon Road, Lindfield
Item 2
DA0826/06
22 January 2007
transition proposed bulk and height needs to achieve the scale identified for the desired future
character of the area.
The proposed building steps with the slope of the land to Tryon Road. The proposed building
is 4 storeys at Kochia Lane and 5 storeys to Tryon Road.
The scale of development is acceptable, as it complies with the 2(d3) controls.
Principle 3: Built form
SEPP 65: Good design achieves an appropriate built form for a site and the buildings
purpose, in terms of building alignments, proportions, building type and the manipulation of
building elements…
The building footprint deviates from the building zone proposed in DCP 55 ‘Milray Street
Precinct’. The building zone in DCP 55 has an L-form, with frontages to Milray Street and
Tryon Road. The proposed building is arranged in a U-form, with 2 wings along the Tryon
Road frontage and frontages to Milray Street and Kochia Lane to the north. This maximises
the northern orientation of apartments within the building. As well, the Tryon Road frontage
consists of 2 wings of a similar proportion to the built form controls of 24 Tryon Road. The
amended building zone is considered appropriate.
The separation between the 2 wings is 12m between habitable rooms and 9m between nonhabitable
rooms and common spaces. However, at both internal corners of the building on the
ground level to level 3, bedroom windows are approximately 7.5m apart. It is recommended
that privacy is maintained between these bedrooms in separate apartments, by extending out
the party wall between apartments by a minimum of 1m on the lower levels of the building.
The built form is considered acceptable.
Principle 4: Density
SEPP 65: Good design has a density appropriate to its site and its context in terms of floor
space yields (or numbers of units or residents)…
The proposed site coverage is 35% of the site. The FSR is approximately 1.3:1. There are 2x1
bedroom, 7x2 bedroom, 13x3 bedroom, 3x3 bedroom plus study and 2x4 bedroom
apartments. The top floor of the building is 40% of the floor immediately below it.
The density is considered acceptable.
Principle 5: Resource, energy and water efficiency
SEPP 65: Sustainability is integral to the design process. Aspects include….. layouts and
built form, passive solar design principles… soil zones for vegetation and re-use of water.
