4 LPP20/22 DA/416/2020 - Construction of a 10-12 Storey Mixed Use Development and Strata Subdivision - 228-234 Pacific Highway, Hornsby (DA/416/2020) |
RECOMMENDATION THAT the Hornsby Local Planning Panel assume the concurrence of the Secretary of the Department of Planning and Environment pursuant to Clause 4.6 of the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013 and approve Development Application No. DA/416/2020 for construction of a 10-12 storey mixed use development and strata subdivision at Lot A DP 304557, Lot B DP 304557, Nos. 228-234 Pacific Highway, Hornsby subject to the conditions of consent detailed in Schedule 1 of LPP Report No. LPP20/22. PANEL’S CONSIDERATION AND DETERMINATION The Panel considered the matters raised in the written submissions including traffic and parking impacts, construction impacts, access/impact upon right of way to No.10 Edgeworth David Road and egress issues to the site. The Panel considered the Clause 4.6 submission and is not satisfied that the applicant’s written request has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by clause 4.6(3) of the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013 (HLEP). Furthermore, in accordance with clause 4.6(4) of the HLEP, the Panel is not satisfied that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it has not been demonstrated through the Clause 4.6 submission that it is consistent with the objectives of the ‘Height of Buildings’ development standard, the ‘Floor Space Ratio’ development standard and the objectives for development within the zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out. Accordingly, the Panel resolved to defer the determination of the application to enable the applicant to address the following matters: 1. Preparation of a revised clause 4.6 request that adequately addresses the relevant matters in Clause 4.6 with respect to the development standards proposed to be contravened. Having regard to clause 4.6(4), the panel is not satisfied that the submission has satisfactorily addressed clause 4.6(3) and has not demonstrated that it is in the public interest through consistency with the objectives of the development standards (height and FSR). 2. Provision of a commentary on the strategic context of the site having regard to the draft Hornsby Town Centre Masterplan that is currently on exhibition, which nominates the site as 12 storeys on the masterplan. Upon receipt of the above information the Panel will determine the matter electronically at the next LPP meeting. VOTING OF THE PANEL MEMBERS FOR: Garry Fielding, Linda McClure, Scott Barwick, John Filocamo AGAINST: NIL |
5 LPP47/22 DA/1379/2021 - Further Report - Construction of a dwelling house - 99A Copeland Road, Beecroft (DA/1379/2021) |
THAT Development Application No. DA/1379/2021 for the construction of a two-storey dwelling house at Lot 2 DP 444486, No. 99A Copeland Road, Beecroft be approved as a deferred commencement pursuant to Section 4.16(3) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 subject to the conditions of consent detailed in Schedule 1 of LPP Report No. LPP47/22. PANEL’S CONSIDERATION AND DETERMINATION The Panel considered the matters raised in the written submissions including bulk and scale; visual impact, removal of trees and impacts on flora and fauna, landscaping requirements, solar panels, privacy and amenity impacts. The Panel resolved to adopt the officer’s recommendation and approve the proposed development subject to the conditions contained in Schedule 1 of the report. The reasons for this decision are: · The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the relevant environmental planning instruments and the Hornsby Development Control Plan 2013. · The proposed development does not create unreasonable environmental impacts to adjoining development with regard to traffic, visual bulk, noise, amenity or privacy. · The Panel notes and has had regard to the advice from Council’s arborist with respect to the removal of Tree No. 40 and acknowledges the submission of the updated landscape plan detailing the proposed works. VOTING OF THE PANEL MEMBERS FOR: Garry Fielding, Linda McClure, Scott Barwick, Barbra Wynn AGAINST: NIL |
