Ordinary Meeting of Council - 27 February 2007 2 / 19
20 to 22 Tryon Road, Lindfield
Item 2
DA0826/06
22 January 2007
The proposed development has been designed with particular regard to the surrounding area, which
includes recently constructed residential flat buildings, retail/commercial buildings, churches, a
school and dwelling houses. The area is undergoing transition as previously discussed and the
proposal positively responds to elements of the existing character and also to the desired future
character. The proposal relates appropriately to the local context.
Site design
A satisfactory site analysis plan has been submitted, indicating how the proposal performs in terms
of building edges, landscape design, access and parking and overall building performance in respect
of energy efficiency.
In terms of site configuration, the proposal responds satisfactorily to the characteristics of this
corner site, including inter alia frontages to two (2) streets and a laneway, existing trees,
topography, street trees and surrounding development,. The design provides adequate areas for
private and common open space and retains a significant proportion of the site as deep soil
landscaping.
The orientation of the development ensures adequate solar access to habitable areas and private
open space, both internally and to adjoining residential development.
Building design
The proposed building design is satisfactory with regard to the site constraints and site features
identified in the site analysis. The building envelope and architectural form exhibit desirable design
characteristics, as previously discussed in greater detail in relation to SEPP 65 and the dwelling
configuration will provide a high level of internal residential amenity. In addition, the proposal
provides satisfactory private open space to all dwellings in the form of ground level terraces or
balconies.
Other relevant matters in relation to ‘Building Design’ have been assessed elsewhere in this report
and are satisfactory.
State Environmental Planning Policy No.55 - Remediation of Land
The provisions of SEPP 55 require Council to consider the potential for a site to be contaminated.
The subject site has a history of residential use, and as such, is unlikely to contain any
contamination. No further investigation is warranted in this case.
SEPP - Building Sustainability Index
A BASIX certificate has been submitted with the development application. The proposed
development is therefore deemed to comply with the requirements of SEPP BASIX.
