The Panel considered the Clause 4.6 submission and is satisfied that the applicant’s written requests have adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by clause 4.6(3) of the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013. Also, in accordance with clause 4.6(4) of the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013, the Panel is satisfied that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the ‘Height of buildings’ development standard and the ‘Floor space ratio’ development standard and the objectives for development within the zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out. 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 Panel has considered the Clause 4.6 written requests from the applicant to contravene the ‘Height of Buildings’ development standard and the ‘Floor space ratio’ development standard applying to the site that seek to justify the contravention of the development standards by demonstrating: o that compliance with the development standards is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, and o that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the development standards. · In respect of Clause 4.6(4) of the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013, the Panel is satisfied that: o the applicant’s written request has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by subclause (3), and o the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the particular standard and the objectives for development within the zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out, and · The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing) 2021, the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013 and the Hornsby Development Control Plan 2013. · The proposed development does not create unreasonable environmental impacts to adjoining development with regard to visual bulk, overshadowing, amenity or privacy.
