RESIDENTIAL HISTORIC DISTRICTS<br />

PART 2 PLANNING PARAMETERS AND<br />

RESTORATION GUIDELINES<br />

RESIDENTIAL HISTORIC DISTRICTS<br />

Key Elements Design / Location / Material<br />

P. New Rear Extension<br />

If the rear of the main conserved building is to be extended, the following guidelines<br />

are applicable instead of items F, G, H, I and J.<br />

P1. Roof The new roof can be of any material and is to be lower<br />

than the eaves of the main conserved building. If metal<br />

is used, it is to be anodised or colour coated.<br />

P2. Windows, Doors and<br />

Vents<br />

If a pitched tile roof is proposed, it can be higher than<br />

the eaves of the main conserved building but lower<br />

than the ridge of the main roof. The material and pitch<br />

are to be the same as those of the main roof.<br />

The height of new rear extension shall be interpreted<br />

as the total height inclusive of the jackroof, if any. Thus,<br />

the secondary jackroof shall not be higher than the<br />

ridge of the main roof, even if the main roof has a<br />

jackroof.<br />

See Figure 13<br />

Design and material can vary.<br />

P3. Canopy Canopies, if any, are to have projection of not more<br />

than 450mm.<br />

P4. Rear Boundary Wall If the rear boundary wall abuts the adjacent lot<br />

boundary ie without a backlane, the rear boundary wall<br />

height is to be retained and a minimum rear setback of<br />

3m is to be provided for the extension.<br />

P5. Floors Additional floors of any material can be constructed<br />

over the entire rear space. The new rear extension<br />

cannot exceed the allowable number of storeys for<br />

landed housing development ie 3 storeys.<br />

The new floor levels need not be the same as the<br />

original floor levels.<br />

New basement is not allowed.<br />
