Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 2 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This development application seeks Council’s approval for alterations and additions to an existing terrace dwelling including new rear skillion dormer to attic, new awning to first floor terrace, replacement of steel balustrade to attic terrace, new privacy screens to ground and first floor terraces, and internal works. The application is reported to North Sydney Independent Planning Panel for determination because the variation sought to the building height development standard is greater than 10% requiring determination by the NSIPP in accordance with the directions from the NSW Department of Planning. The owners of adjoining properties and the Hayberry Precinct were notified of the proposed development on 10 April 2015. Council’s notification of the proposal and subsequent renotification of amended plans has attracted two submissions raising particular concerns about heritage, privacy, and overshadowing. Council’s Conservation Planner raised concerns in relation to the originally proposed front dormer, the proposed side glazing to the rear dormer, the proposed glass balustrade to the attic-level terrace, and the proposed materials to the terrace privacy screens. Additionally, concerns were raised in relation to the bulk and scale of the proposed first floor terrace enclosure. In response, amended plans were submitted that have adequately addressed these concerns. The assessment has considered the performance of the revised application against Council’s planning requirements under NSLEP 2013 and NSDCP 2013. Further, the revised application was reviewed by Council’s Conservation Planner who has responded in support of the proposal, subject to conditions. The written submission provided addressing the requested variation to the height of building control is considered to be well founded and the proposed height variation considered to be acceptable. The development application is considered to be reasonable in the circumstances and is recommended for approval subject to conditions.

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 8 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

Subject DA

• The development application was lodged with Council on 25 March 2015; • Additional information (Clause 4.6 Request for variation to Clause 4.3 Building

Height of NSLEP 2013) was requested via letter on 31 March 2015; • Site inspection conducted on 8 April 2015; • The proposal was notified from 10 April 2015 to 24 April 2015 and one submission

was received during this period; • Additional information received on 14 April 2015; • Letter to advise that proposal is not supported by Council in its current form – various

amendments requested – sent 28 April 2015; • Amended Plans lodged with Council on 5 June 2015. • Amended Plans sent to submittor on 15 June 2015 and one additional submission was

received.

REFERRALS Building The proposal is required to comply with the Building Code of Australia. It is prescribed in the EPA&A regulation for all new building work to comply with the BCA. A condition is recommended to require compliance to be demonstrated prior to any Construction Certificate. Heritage The site is identified as a local General Heritage Item (I0508) pursuant to Schedule 5 of the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013, and is adjacent two Heritage Items (I0509 and I0510) that are the matching terraces that form a group of three known as the Kilmorey Terraces. The site is not located within a Conservation Area. The original proposal was referred to Council’s Conservation Planner who provided the following comments:

1. Heritage Status and Significance The property is a heritage item but is not located in a conservation area. It forms part of a group of three Victorian Italianate terraces, being properties 51, 53 and 55 Victoria St. 2. Heritage Impact Assessment

a) North Sydney LEP 2013

5.10 Heritage conservation (1) the objectives of this Clause are as follows: (a) to conserve the environmental heritage of North Sydney The proposed works will further modify the heritage item’s front facade and will detract from the character of the building at the rear. The works are therefore not supported.

Page 9: NO RT H S Y DNE Y CO UNCI L RE P O RT S€¦ · PROPOSAL: Alterations and additions to existing terrace dwelling . PLANS REF: Drawings numbered 1002, 1006 to 1009 and 2001 to 2004,

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 9 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

b) North Sydney DCP 2013

The proposed works do not comply with the following heritage controls in Part B Section 13 NSDCP 2013: 13.5 Provision P5 Locate change away from original areas of the heritage item that are intact. The proposed front dormer is not supported as the front facade is intact and there are no front dormers on the group. Any new front dormer will also create a precedent in the group of terraces. 13.9.2 Dormer Windows – Provision P1 refers to 1.4.11 Provision P12 The sides of dormers must not contain glass. The glazing on the side elevation of the rear dormer is not supported as it will be visible from Mitchell St. 13.9.3 Verandahs and Balconies Provision P6 Glass balustrades are not appropriate on pre -1970s buildings or where visible from the public domain. The proposed glazed balustrade will be visible from Mitchell St and is not supported. 13.9.4 Materials - Objective O1 To ensure that materials and finishes are consistent with the characteristic elements of the heritage item or heritage conservation areas. The proposed horizontally battened privacy screens and balustrade are not detailed sympathetically to the character of the Victorian terrace. 3. Conclusion The proposal is considered to be unsatisfactory in its current form. It is recommended that the following amendments be made:

• Front dormer to be deleted. • Glazing in side wall of rear dormer to be deleted. • Glazed balustrade to be substituted with steel palisade or existing balustrade

retained. • Horizontally detailed timber balustrade and privacy screen to be re-designed to

have vertical emphasis. The above comments were included in a letter to the applicant requesting that the above and other amendments be incorporated into the proposal in order to comply with Council controls. Amended plans were received on 5 June 2015 and were referred once again to the Conservation Planner who provided the following comments on 11 June 2015:

The amended proposal is considered to be acceptable. The previously raised issues of the front dormer, the side wall dormer glazing and the balustrades have been satisfactorily resolved. The following conditions are recommended: A4. No Demolition of Extra Fabric E11. Removal of Extra Fabric E##. Original Interior Detailing

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 10 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

Original Victorian joinery, ceilings, cornices, ceiling roses, fire places and mantle pieces are to be retained. (Reason: To retain the heritage significance of the heritage item.)

SUBMISSIONS The owners of adjoining properties and the Hayberry Precinct were notified of the proposed development on 10 April 2015 to 24 April 2015. Following the notification period, one (1) submission was received. Amended plans were provided to the submitter who put forward an additional submission in response. The notification and subsequent provision of amended plans resulted in the following two (2) submissions: Basis of Submissions • Concern that proposed front dormer, glazed balustrade to attic terrace, and removal of

residual chimney are not in keeping with the heritage character of the group of terraces; • Concern that height, bulk and scale of the proposed first floor terrace enclosure would

impact on amenity of own terrace; • Concern that proposed raising of attic terrace level will impact on privacy to own terrace; • Concern that proposed motorised awning to attic terrace would cause overshadowing to

own terrace and is not be in keeping with group of terraces;

Basis of Submissions • Reiteration of concern that proposed raising of attic terrace level will impact on privacy to

own terrace; • Reiteration of concerns regarding overshadowing from the proposed motorised awnings to

the ground floor and attic terraces. The amended plans were provided to the objector who presented an additional submission. CONSIDERATION The relevant matters for consideration under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, are assessed under the following headings: The application has been assessed against the relevant numeric controls in NSLEP 2013 and DCP 2013 as indicated in the following compliance tables. More detailed comments with regard to the major issues are provided later in this report. 1. Permissibility within the zone: The site is identified under the LEP as being included within the IN2 Light Industrial zone. The proposal for the purpose of a dwelling house is permissible in the zone. 2. Zone Objectives The development satisfies the specific aims of the plan and the objectives of the IN2 Light Industrial zone contained in Clause 2.3 and the Land Use Table of NSLEP 2001. In particular, the development will encourage a mix of lower scale housing types.

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 11 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

The application has been assessed against the relevant numeric controls in NSLEP 2013. More detailed comments with regard to the major issues are provided below the table. 3. NSLEP 2013 Compliance Table

Principal Development Standards – North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013

Site Area – 113.9m² Proposed Control Complies Clause 4.2 – Heights of Building 13.2m (new works) 8.5 No

4. Building Height The proposal includes alterations and additions to the existing terrace dwelling, with proposed works having a maximum height of 13.2m, and therefore does not comply with Clause 4.3 (2) of the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013 which specifies a maximum building height of 8.5m for the site. The applicant has submitted a written request to vary this development standard pursuant to Clause 4.6 of the NSLEP 2013, addressed below. Clause 4.6 Exceptions to Development Standards A portion of the proposed works, specifically the rear dormer, new balustrade to attic terrace and new awning to first floor terrace, will have a maximum height of 13.2m above existing site levels and contravenes Clause 4.3(2) of the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013, which specifies a maximum building height of 8.5m for new building works. In regards to this non-compliance, the applicant has submitted a written request to vary this development standard, pursuant to Clause 4.6 of the NSLEP 2013. Given the above, the proposed breach has been assessed in accordance with the requirements of Clause 4.6(3), the objectives of the control and the zone. These matters have been considered below: (a) To promote development that conforms to and reflects natural landforms, by stepping

development on sloping land to follow the natural gradient, The proposal does not seek alteration to the natural landform of the site and is characteristic of the locality. (b) To promote the retention and, if appropriate, sharing of existing views, The proposal does not involve any reduction to the existing views of neighbouring and adjacent dwellings. (c) To maintain solar access to existing dwellings, public reserves and streets, and to

promote solar access for future development, The proposal does not involve any reduction in solar access to existing dwellings, public reserves and streets.

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 12 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

(d) To maintain privacy for residents of existing dwellings and to promote privacy for residents of new buildings,

The proposal seeks to enhance the privacy of the subject dwelling as well as the privacy of adjacent dwellings through the erection of privacy screening to the ground and first floor terraces. (e) To ensure compatibility between development, particularly at zone boundaries, The proposal is located within, and considered compatible with, the IN2 Light Industrial Zone. (f) To encourage an appropriate scale and density of development that is in accordance

with, and promotes the character of, an area. The proposed works to the interior of the existing dwelling, the proposed rear dormer, and works to the rear terraces are considered to result in a scale and density of development that is in accordance with, and promotes the character of the area. It is concluded that the amended proposal would not have an adverse impact on the character of the locality and the amenity of adjoining properties would be maintained. Having regard to the above, the request under Clause 4.6 in NSLEP 2013 seeking a variation to the LEP building height control is considered to be well-founded and strict compliance with the standards is unnecessary in the circumstances. 5. Heritage The application has been assessed against the relevant heritage objectives and provisions as contained in Clauses 5.10 of North Sydney LEP 2013 in relation to heritage conservation. The proposed works are located to the rear of the site and are considered to be in keeping with the character of the area as well as the character of the group of heritage terraces to which the dwelling belongs. 6. North Sydney Development Control Plan 2013 DCP 2013 Compliance Table

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 – Part B Section 1- Residential Development complies Comments 1.2 Social Amenity Population Mix/ Maintaining Residential Accommodation

Yes Residential accommodation and mix will be maintained.

1.3 Environmental Criteria Topography Yes The proposal will not alter the topography of the site. Views Yes The proposal does not adversely impact on existing

views from adjacent dwellings as the rear dormer is located below the existing ridge line.

Solar Access Yes The proposal involves additional overshadowing caused primarily by the attic dormer. These changes involve minor overshadowing to No. 47 Victoria Street (to the first floor hallway and stairway), during morning hours, and minor overshadowing to the attic terrace at No. 53 Victoria Street during afternoon hours (3pm). These

Page 13: NO RT H S Y DNE Y CO UNCI L RE P O RT S€¦ · PROPOSAL: Alterations and additions to existing terrace dwelling . PLANS REF: Drawings numbered 1002, 1006 to 1009 and 2001 to 2004,

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 13 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

additional shadows are considered to be acceptable given that no internal living areas are affected and adjacent dwellings still maintain a minimum of 3 hours solar access between 9.00am and 3.00pm during the winter solstice.

Acoustic Privacy Yes The proposal does not involve any changes to existing acoustic privacy measures. The proposal is considered to maintain existing acoustic privacy for the subject site and adjacent dwellings.

Visual Privacy Yes The proposal involves the erection of privacy screens to the ground and first floor terraces which will enhance privacy for the subject site as well as adjacent dwellings. The proposal also involves the raising of the attic terrace floor level to correspond with the attic terrace floor level of the adjacent building at No. 53 Victoria Street. This is not considered to impact negatively on adjacent properties.

1.4 Quality built form Context Yes The proposal is in keeping with the site layout and

building design.

Siting Yes The proposal maintains the characteristic building orientation and siting.

Setback – Side Yes The proposal involves the construction of a new wall to the attic dormer 625mm from the western boundary. A 4.5m setback is required for dwelling houses within the IN2 – Light Industrial zone however the subject site lies within a street characterised by terrace housing, with the original portion of the terrace currently at a 0m setback to the western and southern boundaries.

Consideration of Nil setback (P3)

Part 1.4.6 P3 provides that Council may grant consent to a development with nil (0m) setback in circumstance where Council has had regard for the characteristics of the site including the following: a. Is the street characterised by terrace housing? The

street is characterised by single and two storey detached and semi detach dwellings.

b. What is the height and length of the wall on the boundary? The new wall is 3m in height and 4.3m in length.

c. Has the applicant control over the adjoining site(s) or the agreement of their owners? The proposed new wall does not fall on the boundary and therefore does not require adjoining site’s owner’s consent.

d. What are the impacts on the amenity and/or development potential of adjoining sites? This matter is addressed in greater detail above. No amenity impacts arise from the proposed new wall.

e. Are there arrangements in place for the maintenance of the wall or gutters? The proposed new wall is set back from the existing parapet and allows adequate room for maintenance of the wall and gutters.

Page 14: NO RT H S Y DNE Y CO UNCI L RE P O RT S€¦ · PROPOSAL: Alterations and additions to existing terrace dwelling . PLANS REF: Drawings numbered 1002, 1006 to 1009 and 2001 to 2004,

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 14 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

The proposed 625mm setback to the western boundary is supported in the circumstances of this case, given the lack of impact to adjoining properties in terms of overshadowing, privacy and building separation.

Setback - Rear No Change

The proposal does not involve any changes to the rear setback.

Form Massing Scale Yes (via condition)

The proposal does not involve any changes to the height of the existing dwelling and the proposed additions and alterations are generally consistent with the character of the street. The proposal involves the addition of motorised awnings to the ground and attic terraces – in order to limit the bulk that these awnings will have (and the possible perceived enclosed terrace effect), a condition has been recommended to delete the awning to the attic terrace, and limit the length of extension to 1.5m for the awning to the ground level terrace.

Built Form Character Yes The proposal involves alterations located exclusively to the rear of the site and these are considered to be in keeping with the built form character of the surrounding area. The built form of the proposed attic dormer will match the dormers located on the two, matching terraces in a manner that is appropriate for its ‘end-of-terrace’ position.

Roofs Yes The proposal includes a new skillion roof to the proposed attic dormer. The roof form and materials are in keeping with existing dormers to the matching terraces.

Dormers Yes The proposed dormer sits below the existing ridge line of the building. The pitch and roof form are in keeping with existing attic dormers to the two, matching terraces located at Nos. 53 and 55 Victoria Street (see image below).

Image 4. Attic dormers with skillion roofs to Nos. 53 & 55 Victoria Street

Materials Yes (via condition)

The proposal documentation includes an External Finishes Schedule and the proposed materials and finishes to be used reinforce the character of the building and the character of the locality. A standard condition is recommended that all finishes and materials be in accordance with the submitted External Finishes Schedule.

The applicant must ensure new or altered toilets have a flow rate no greater than 4 litres per average flush or a minimum 3 star water rating. The applicant must ensure new or altered taps have a flow rate no greater than 9 litres per minute or minimum 3 star water rating.

Stormwater Management Yes The proposal involves the connection of the new gutter to the attic dormer to the existing downpipe below.

Water Management and Minimisation Yes The applicant has provided a BASIX Certificate in support of the development application. An appropriate condition has been recommended to ensure that the measures contained within the BASIX Certificate are undertaken at all stages of the development process.

Green Roof Yes The existing dwelling will retain the existing northerly aspect and has been designed with regard to passive solar requirements.

SUBMITTERS CONCERNS The issues raised in the submissions received during the notification of the original proposal are addressed below:

• Concern that proposed front dormer, glazed balustrade to attic terrace, and removal of residual chimney are not in keeping with the heritage character of the group of terraces;

Planning comment: the above concerns were also raised by Council’s Conservation Planner during a review of the original application. The amended plans that were subsequently submitted to Council have addressed these concerns through the deletion of the front dormer, replacement of the existing steel palisade to the attic terrace with a matching steel palisade, and retention of the residual chimney.

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 16 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

• Concern that height, bulk and scale of the proposed first floor terrace enclosure would impact on amenity of own terrace;

Planning comment: the above concern regarding the bulk and scale of the proposed first floor terrace enclosure was raised by Council staff during a review of the original application. The amended plans that were subsequently submitted to Council have addressed these concerns with the removal of the proposed posts and beams, and timber lattice screen. The amended proposal includes the retention of the existing steel palisade and privacy screens to the western and eastern elevations with a maximum height of 1,800 mm.

• Concern that proposed raising of attic terrace level will impact on privacy to own

terrace; Planning comment: the above concern is related to the raising of the attic terrace floor by approximately 300mm to RL 55.20. A search for the latest approved plans for No. 53 Victoria Street reveals that the approved floor level to the attic terrace is RL 55.16 based on the approved plans for DA 122/04. The raising of the attic terrace level to match the neighbouring level is not considered to impact negatively on the adjacent dwelling.

• Concern that proposed motorised awning to attic terrace would cause overshadowing to

own terrace and is not be in keeping with group of terraces;

Planning comment: the above concern regarding the proposed motorised awnings has been addressed through the assessment of the proposal, particularly with regards to form, massing and scale. In order to avoid the perception of enclosed terraces when the proposed awnings are fully extended, a condition has been recommended to delete the attic terrace awning, and limit the awning length of the ground floor terrace to 1.5m. It is considered that these conditions will assist with any perceived bulk issues associated with the proposed, motorised awnings.

Lavender Bay Planning Area (McMahons Point Business Precinct) The application has been assessed against the relevant controls in DCP 2013. The proposal is generally consistent with Part C of NSDCP 2013, in particular, the Character Statement in Section 9.2 which provides for the McMahons Point Business Precinct of the Lavender Bay Planning Area. In particular, the development is in keeping with the surrounding, residential accommodation and maintains existing views to Berrys Bay and Lavender Bay. SEPP 55 and Contaminated Land Management Issues The subject site has been considered in light of the Contaminated Lands Management Act and it is considered that as the site has been used for residential purposes for many years, contamination is unlikely.

Report of Adonna See, Graduate Assessment Officer Page 17 Re: 51 Victoria Street, McMahons Point

ALL LIKELY IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT All likely impacts of the proposed development have been considered within the context of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL APPRAISAL CONSIDERED 1. Statutory Controls Yes 2. Policy Controls Yes 3. Design in relation to existing building and Yes natural environment 4. Landscaping/Open Space Provision N/A 5. Traffic generation and Carparking provision N/A 6. Loading and Servicing facilities N/A 7. Physical relationship to and impact upon adjoining Yes development (Views, privacy, overshadowing, etc.) 8. Site Management Issues N/A 9. All relevant S79C considerations of Yes Environmental Planning and Assessment (Amendment) Act 1979 CONCLUSION The proposed alterations and additions including skillion dormer to rear attic, new awnings and privacy screens to attic and first floor terraces, and replacement of attic terrace balustrade are considered to be an appropriate use of the site and in accordance with the provisions of the zone. Despite concerns raised during the notification period, it is considered that the proposal (as amended) substantially complies with Council’s development controls for, bulk, design, heritage, privacy and overshadowing, and would not present any material adverse impact to adjoining properties. The proposed works are consistent with the heritage significance of the existing building and will be compatible with the building and surrounding character. The assessment has considered the performance of the revised application against Council’s planning requirements under NSLEP 2013 and NSDCP 2013. Further, the revised application was reviewed by Council’s Conservation Planner who has responded in support of the proposal, subject to conditions. The written submission provided addressing the requested variation to the height of building control is considered to be well founded and the proposed height variation considered to be acceptable. The application is therefore recommended for approval, subject to the imposition of the following conditions.

2) Hoardings

Permits are required to erect Class A and Class B hoardings. If an ‘A’ Class hoarding is to alienate a section of Council’s property, that section will require a permit for the occupation of Council’s property.

(Reason: Proper management of public land)

3) Storage of building materials and building waste containers (skips) on

Council’s property

Permits to utilise Council property for the storage of building materials and building waste containers (skips) are required for each location. Failure to obtain the relevant permits will result in the building materials or building waste containers (skips) being impounded by Council with no additional notice being given. Storage of building materials and waste containers on open space reserves and parks is prohibited.

(Reason: Proper management of public land)

4) Kerbside restrictions, construction zones

Attention is drawn to the existing kerbside restrictions adjacent to the development. Should alteration of existing kerbside restrictions be required, or the provision of a construction zone, the appropriate application must be made and the fee paid to Council. Alternatives to such restrictions may require referral to Council’s Traffic Committee and may take considerable time to be resolved. An earlier application is suggested to avoid delays in construction programs.

(Reason: Proper management of public land)

Construction Hours E9. Building construction and works must be restricted to within the hours of 7.00 am to

5.00 pm Monday to Friday and on Saturday to within the hours of 8.00 am to 1.00 pm inclusive, with no work on Sundays and Public Holidays.

c) “Excavation work” means the use of any excavation machinery and the use of jackhammers, rock breakers, excavators, loaders, or the like, regardless of whether the activities disturb or alter the natural state of the existing ground stratum or are breaking up/removing materials from the site and includes the unloading of plant or machinery associated with excavation work.

All builders, excavators must display, on-site, their twenty-four (24) hour contact telephone number, which is to be clearly visible and legible from any public place adjoining the site.

(Reason: To ensure that works do not interfere with reasonable amenity

expectations of residents and the community) Out of Hours Work Permits E10. Where it is necessary for works to occur outside those hours allowed by these

conditions, an application may be made to Council's Customer Services Centre for a permit to carry out works outside of the approved hours. If a permit is issued the works approved must be carried out in accordance with any requirements specified in the permit. Permits will only be approved if public safety is at risk. Applications which seek a variation to construction hours solely to benefit the developer will require the lodgement and favourable determination of a modification application pursuant to the provisions of Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Notes: 1) Failure to obtain a permit for work outside of the approved hours will result in

on the spot fines being issued, or Council pursuing any action required (including legal proceedings) to have the out of hours work cease, without prior warning.

2) Applications for out of hour’s works should be lodged with Council no later than seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of the intended works.

3) Examples of activities for which permits may be granted include: • the erection of awnings, • footpath, road and other infrastructure works which can not be

carried out for public convenience reasons within normal hours, • the erection and removal of hoardings and site cranes, and • craneage of materials which cannot be done for public convenience

reasons within normal working hours.

4) Examples of activities for which permits WILL NOT be granted include; • extended concrete pours • works which are solely to convenience the developer or client, and • catch up works required to maintain or catch up with a construction

schedule.

State Environmental Planning Policy No. 1 - Objection to the

building height limit non-compliance of Clause 4.3 Height in

NSLEP 2013

This objection is made under the provisions of Clause 6 of State Environmental Planning Policy

No.1. The council is requested to consider this objection to the building height limit standard of

Clause 4.3 of the NSLEP 2013 in relation to alterations and additions at the rear of the existing

dwelling at 51 Victoria St, Mcmahons Point.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARD AND VARIATION SOUGHT:

WOULD STRICT COMPLIANCE HINDER ATTAINMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF SEPP1 or

THE OBJECTIVES SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5(a)(i) and (ii) of the EP & A Act?:

Strict compliance would hinder the attainment of the objectives of SEPP1 and the Act as the

proposal represents an appropriate addition at the rear of the existing dwelling house.

The existing building height at 51 Victoria St pre-dates the enforcement of the NSLEP 2013 and the

ridge heights of the proposed dormers at the front and rear of the property have been carefully

placed so that they bear relation to the neighbouring roof ridges and gutters in terms of their

heights and proportions. Neither of these dormers go beyond the ridge height of the existing roof,

and the proposal does not seek to increase the height of the existing building. The ridge of the front

gable dormer is set back 240mm from the existing ridge, while the rear skillion dormer is 580mm

lower than the existing ridge.

Strict compliance with the Clause 4.3 of the NSLEP 2013 would compromise an opportunity to

improve the function and amenity of house as proposed, which represents an orderly and economic

use and development of the existing house and the land.

Drastic change to the existing building height would also damage the heritage characteristics of not

only the property in question but also the other two terraces that, in its present form make up a

high-quality group of late Victorian Italianate style terrace.

Page 42: NO RT H S Y DNE Y CO UNCI L RE P O RT S€¦ · PROPOSAL: Alterations and additions to existing terrace dwelling . PLANS REF: Drawings numbered 1002, 1006 to 1009 and 2001 to 2004,

WOULD STRICT COMPLIANCE BE UNREASONABLE AND UNNESECCARY?:

Strict compliance with the standard would be unreasonable and unnecessary because the minor

departure from the height of buildings standard will not be discernible. Furthermore, the height of

the existing attic space is 3m below the ridge, and lowering the roof to comply with the 8.5m height

limit outlined by the NSLEP would force the ceiling height down to 1m thus making the existing

attic space unusable. Therefore compliance with Clause 4.3 would be detrimental to the existing

amenities of the house.

The underlying objectives of Clause 4.3 are :

(a) to promote development that conforms to and reflects natural landforms, by stepping

development on sloping land to follow the natural gradient,

(b) to promote the retention and, if appropriate, sharing of existing views,

(c) to maintain solar access to existing dwellings, public reserves and streets, and to promote solar

access for future development,

(d) to maintain privacy for residents of existing dwellings and to promote privacy for residents of

new buildings,

(e) to ensure compatibility between development, particularly at zone boundaries,

(f) to encourage an appropriate scale and density of development that is in accordance with, and

promotes the character of, an area.

In this instance, the objectives of Clause 5.10 Heritage Conservation of the LEP are also relevant,

which are as follows:

(a) to conserve the environmental heritage of North Sydney,

(b) to conserve the heritage significance of heritage items and heritage conservation areas, including

associated fabric, settings and views

In light of preserving existing heritage values of the property, maintaining the building height

retains the sharing of existing views without compromising privacy or solar access for the

neighbouring buildings. The preservation of this existing building height also ensures that the

proposed development remains modest and mindful of the scale, density and characteristics of the

other two terrace houses that form Kilmorey Terrace and the street characteristics of Victoria St.

As the proposal will also be acceptable in terms of maintaining the present amenity of adjoining

properties, and meeting the objectives of the standard Clause 4.3 of the NSLEP 2013 would be

unreasonable and unnecessary.
