Not applicable to this application.
Refer to assessment against the corresponding
Performance Criteria below in relation to the height of
the proposed dwelling below.
Does not comply with Acceptable Solution 1.10
The discussion in the table above has indicated that an assessment against the
Performance Criteria associated with a number of the development standards is
required. This is undertaken as follows:
1.1 A greater site coverage may be approved where it can be demonstrated that the
character and amenity of the area will not be detrimentally affected, nor cause
adverse impacts on the amenity of adjoining residences, and the proposal
maintains viewing corridors between the adjoining buildings.
Comment – The scale of the building is relatively significant in relation to the size of the
lot and as such the proposal invokes a number of discretions that relate to size and scale.
The impacts on neighboring properties are expected to involve overshadowing and
overlooking onto 10 Cummings Street and the obscuring of views from 14 and 16
Cummings Street. The proposal is assessed against the Scheme’s provisions in respect of
privacy and overshadowing further in this report. Whilst it can be expected that, due to
the relatively small lot sizes in the area, the views of 14 Cummings Street would be
interrupted by most development on the subject lot, it is acknowledged that the extent
of development, especially as it extends to the south of the lot, will interrupt viewing
corridors from 14 and possibly 16 Cummings Street towards the water.
1.2 A greater height may be approved where it can be demonstrated that it will not
detract from views to the water from public places, and Council is satisfied that
the character and amenity of the area will not be detrimentally affected. A greater
building height is not to cause adverse impacts on the amenity of adjoining
residences or their views to the water.
