LOT 32 (NO. 32) CAMBRIDGE STREET, WEST LEEDERVILLE - PROPOSED
BIN STORE AND LAUNDRY
SUMMARY:
The Town has received an application for a laundry and bin store at No. 32 Cambridge
Street (Kings Apartments). The plans show a new building, adjacent to the eastern side
driveway, containing laundry and bin store. The laundry has its own entrance. Clothes lines
are proposed adjacent to the laundry.
The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against the
buildings on the boundary performance criteria of the Residential Design Codes of WA (R
Codes) and an objection has been received during the consultation period that cannot be
resolved through a condition of planning approval.
The proposal is not considered to satisfy the relevant performance criteria for the following
reason:-
• the wall is likely to have an adverse effect on the amenity of the adjoining property,
particularly in relation to building bulk.
Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for refusal.
PURPOSE:
To consider an application for a laundry and bin store requiring assessment under the
performance criteria of the R Codes in respect of buildings on the boundary.

The plans were previously submitted in July 2009. The owners of the adjoining property did
not object to the proposed development and the plans were subsequently approved under
delegated authority on 12 October 2009. This approval has expired, so the applicant has
submitted a new application. The owners of the adjoining property have decided to now
object to the proposed development. Accordingly, the plans require a Council determination.
