3 LPP24/22 DA/103/2022 - Alterations and additions to a dwelling house - 43 Bouvardia Street, Asquith (DA/103/2022) |
|
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/103/2022 for alterations and additions to the principal dwelling house at Lot 36 DP 30826, No. 43 Bouvardia Street, Asquith subject to the conditions of consent detailed in Schedule 1 of LPP Report No. LPP24/22. PANEL’S CONSIDERATION AND DETERMINATION The Panel considered the Clause 4.6 submission and is satisfied that the applicant’s written request has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by clause 4.6(3) of the HLEP and in accordance with clause 4.6(4) of the HLEP, 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 objectives for development within the zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out. The Panel resolved to adopt the officer’s report recommendation and approve the proposed development, subject to the conditions contained in Schedule 1 of the report and the following amendments: Amend condition No. 2 to read: i) The sill height of the first-floor level living room window (W04) and Bed 2 window (W05) on the northern elevation is to be increased to a minimum of 1.5m above the finished floor level. b) These amended plans must be submitted with the application for the Construction Certificate. The reasons for this decision are: · The request under Clause 4.6 of Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013 to contravene the ‘Height of buildings’ development standard is well founded. Strict compliance with the development standard is considered unreasonable and unnecessary in the circumstances of the case and sufficient environmental planning grounds have been submitted to justify the contravention to the development standard. · 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 visual bulk, overshadowing, solar access, amenity or privacy.
