7. Building
Height
6.7.1 Building Height
P1 Building height
consistent with the
desired height of
buildings in the
locality, and to
recognise the need to
protect the amenities
of
adjoining
properties, including,
where appropriate:-
• adequate direct
sun to buildings
and appurtenant
open spaces;
• adequate
daylight to major
openings to
habitable rooms;
and
• access to views
of significance.
The proposed building wall
height is considered to be
consistent with desired
height of buildings within the
locality; specifically, the
adjoining property at 32A
Powell Street, which has a
wall height of 6.0m.
The lot and design of the
property are orientated in
such a way that the building
height is not considered to
significantly affect the impact
upon direct sun and daylight
to major openings to
habitable rooms of the
adjoining properties.
The section of the dwelling
with a wall height of 6.4m is
located on at a higher level
of the site whilst the majority
of the wall height is 6.2m.
This results in the dwelling
reflecting the natural ground
level of the site as seen from
the street.
The ridge height of the
dwelling complies with the
acceptable development
provisions of the Building
Height Policy.
The building height does not
significantly impact adjoining
properties access to views of
significance.
The finished floor level of the
garage cannot be lowered
further while retaining an
acceptable driveway
gradient.
