Application - 173 Adderton Road, Carlingford
REFERENCE DA/307/2012
FROM Mr Jacob John

QUESTIONS
By Mr Jacob John:-
“Dear Lord Mayor, Deputy Lord Mayor and Councillors,
On behalf of the residents of
Adderton Road and Charles Street I would like to highlight major concerns
with the DA proposing to construct 3-storey with basement car park RFB in 173
Adderton Road. We had entrusted the services of Boston-Blyth-Fleming
Townplanners to do an independent review of the DA and their report (copy
circulated to the Councillors by staff) ratifies our concerns.
Street Character: The R4 zoned
properties surrounding the development site currently have - 32 townhouses
and 1 duplex (constructed by Defence Housing in 2006) and a Dual Occupancy
(battleaxe one constructed in 2000) to the north. To the south is R3 zoned
properties with established houses. The imposition of a large train carriage
style 3 storey RFB into this streetscape would remain as a permanent
aberration for the foreseeable future. This will be the only 3 storey and only
RFB on western side of Adderton Road. The assessment report acknowledges the
development is inconsistent with the existing character of the area but still
asserts it is compatible with the future character as envisaged by PLEP 2011,
which permits RFB.
How could a 3 storey plus
basement car park RFB in a narrow block with sideways oriented rectangular
blocks like building be compatible with the future streetscape when the
surrounding R4 properties have already been developed with townhouses and
established houses?
Solar Access: The assessment
report acknowledges that 171 Adderton Road will receive less than 3 hours of
solar access to the northern elevation and rear private open space. Though
this is a correct statement in itself, it doesn’t present the true extent of
the overshadowing impact caused by the development. What can be clearly
observed are the habitable rooms in the northern and western elevation plus
the private open space of 171 Adderton Road will have ‘NO’ solar access (100%
shadowed) during winter solstice. In addition the well cultivated and
maintained rear backyard (400 square meters of land) will also have ‘NO’
(100% shadowed) solar access during the winter solstice.
How could such an overwhelming
overshadowing impact be acceptable based on any future development of 171
Adderton Road as asserted in the report? Is the objective of the Council to
force the residents, who have been living in the property for 27 years (and
who intend to continue living there), out by denying solar access, to help
maximise the yield of a developer?
Overlooking: The balconies
directly overlook the habitable areas and private open space of neighbouring
properties with 175 and 175A Adderton Road being the most impacted. Contrary
to the observation in the assessment report, the RFB will completely block
city views currently being availed from the top decking of 175A Adderton
Road.
Variations: The application is
non-compliant to at least seven major requirements between the Residential
Flat Building Design Code and Parramatta DCP 2011. All the variations have
been accepted in the assessment report citing size limitations of the block
and failure of consolidation attempt. It is quite evident the narrow frontage
and orientation of the block make it unsuitable for RFB development without
consolidation. We believe the applicant never had any true intention or the
capacity to consolidate the adjacent properties.
Quality of the Application: As
we understand the Council notified the applicant about non-compliance of driveway
gradients in July 2012. The applicant never bothered to fix this even though
many revisions of the plans have been submitted in the last six months. As
per the assessment report the Council Development Engineer has found major
inconsistencies between the various plans. How could the council be
confident in the plans being put forward for approval when there are so many
inconsistencies?
Alternative forms of
development: The assessment report repeatedly gives undue credit to the
application for not building to the maximum permitted height and FSR of R4 as
per the PLEP 2011 but fails to acknowledge such an outcome is not feasible
due to limitations of the site. It is very clear from the applicant’s
response to the Council’s design panel comments there was no intention to
construct 4 storey with additional cost of installation of lifts to be
incurred. The neighbourhood would welcome a compliant development of 7 to 8
townhouses or villas which will integrate well with the current as well as
future streetscape. The proposed RFB of 12 units offer 4 additional
residences but severely impacts on the immediate amenity of adjoining
properties.”

RESPONSE
By Mark Leotta – Service Manager
Development Assessment:-
“1. It is acknowledged that this is the first application for
a Residential Flat Building since this immediate precinct has been up zoned
and that this development will not be consistent with the existing character
of the area that predominantly comprises, dwelling houses, interspersed with
the occasional dual occupancy and town house development, being a maximum of
2 storeys in height.
However, it
is considered that the development is compatible with the future desired
character of the area as envisioned by Parramatta Local Environmental Plan
2011 that permits Residential Flat Buildings to be constructed within this
zone. The assessment of the development’s compatibility with the streetscape
and the desired character of the area are further discussed within the Public
Consultation Section of the Section 79C Report (Attachment 1 of Item 8.2).
It is noted
that the properties to the north of 173 Adderton Road were up zoned from R3
medium Density Residential to R4 High Density Residential upon the gazettal
of Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2011. The properties south of 173
Adderton Road have remained as R3 Medium Density Residential which does not
permit Residential Flat Buildings.
2. The application was submitted with shadow diagrams which
illustrate that as a result of the proposal, the properties to the north (175
and 175A Adderton Road) and to the west (4 Charles Street) will receive more
than 3 hours of solar access including to their rear private open space. The
property to the south at 171 Adderton Road will receive less than 3 hours of
solar access to the northern elevation and the rear private open space.
The
applicant has also submitted elevational solar access diagrams comparing the
existing solar access conditions and the solar access as a result of the
proposed development. These diagrams are attached to the Addendum Memo to the
Councillors (also attached to this email) dated 13 December 2012.
It is noted
that the topography of the site at 173 Adderton Road is on a higher relative
level than the property to the south at 171 Adderton Road. The submitted
diagrams illustrate that the existing solar access conditions at 9am on the
day of the winter solstice, shows that the rear window of the dwelling at 171
Adderton Road will be partly overshadowed. The overshadowing to this
elevation progressively extends to the length of the northern elevation of
171 Adderton Road throughout the day of the winter solstice. Further, the
rear courtyard is overshadowed for the day of the winter solstice as well.
The diagrams
showing the existing solar access conditions also illustrate that by 1pm of
the winter solstice the front elevation and part of the front setback is also
overshadowed by the existing development on 173 Adderton Road. As such, the
development to the south at 171 Adderton Road currently receives less than 3
hours of solar access along the northern elevation and to the rear private
open space.
3. An assessment of the built form has been undertaken and
is considered to be acceptable given its general compliance with the relevant
planning controls, Council’s policies and permissibility.
In respect
of stormwater design which requires either an interallotment drainage
easement or laying of a pipe within the road reserve, which is the case here,
it is standard planning practice to impose a deferred commencement condition
on a Development Application where all other planning matters are considered
to be resolved or satisfactory.
The deferred
commencement conditions relate to an alternative stormwater disposal system
which Council believes is the most appropriate hydraulic solution for the
development. Council believes this can be achieved without significant
impacts to the built form of the development which was considered acceptable.
However, the onus is on the consent holder to submit plans to Council for
review and if they are assessed as satisfactory, an operative consent can be
issued. Any such plans will be assessed on merit once submitted by the
applicant. If the plans are not satisfactory upon review by the relevant
Council officers, an operative consent cannot be issued and development
cannot proceed until a satisfactory hydraulic solution is proposed.”

QUESTION
By Mr Russell Gander:-
“With respect to DA144/2012, I would like
to ask the Council to defer a decision on this until a traffic study or
evaluation has been completed.
Whilst the Traffic Committee have seen fit
to not require one, they have not taken into account the current volume and
type of traffic in the area.
I also wish to ask the Traffic Committee to
consider asking RTA to cease a left turn on red light from Purchase St into
Hassall St. It is considered by residents to be a major contributing factor
to the volume and type of traffic passing through our residential street.”
|
13555
|
RESPONSE
By Richard Searle – Service Manager Traffic &
Transport:-
“The proposed application is
for a change of use from bowling green to a mini-soccer field. There is
little change in traffic volume and type of vehicles as a result of the
proposal. Furthermore, the traffic generated from this activity would
be small compared to the existing traffic flow on adjacent streets.
Accordingly, a traffic study is not required as part of this development application.
In regards to the left turn
from Purchase Street into Hassall Street, traffic counts will be undertaken
in February 2013 and a report provided to the subsequent Traffic Engineering
Advisory Group meeting.”

STATEMENT
By Ms Kirsten Lund:-
“In 2010 the
same applicant applied for a similar development to the current one (DA
563/2010) and it was refused outright by Council’s planning officers.
The only
difference is that the initial DA was for 4 mini soccer fields and the
current one is for 2. However, we point out that the first DA was refused on
qualitative grounds not quantitative.
For this
current DA the applicants have:
a Not
addressed any of those issues and
b Not
provided any new information in their application.
Therefore
those original refusal issues are as valid today as then.
So a brief
summary of just 4 of the 7 original points of refusal:
1 The extent of operating hours and day is
unreasonable in proximity to a residential area.
From 9 till 10pm every day of the week residents would be exposed
to the noise, excessive lighting and serious traffic impacts associated with
this proposal. Residents would have no respite from work, nor would business
people and visitors using Queens Wharf parkland.
2 The acoustic report does not give due
consideration to the likely impacts arising from referee’s whistles, crowd
noise and vehicular noise and so fails to satisfy the Harris Park DCP
Acoustic Privacy requirement.
This DA relies
on an acoustic monitoring report used for the previous soccer field DA, plus
a follow-up letter with this current DA summarising the information in that
original acoustic report.
This acoustic
report is flawed because it:
-
Uses outdated acoustic data from 2005 and
2006,
-
Was not carried out at the closest residences
to the proposed site
These are actually at 1/153 and 3/153 George St, the cottages behind
Lifeline, which are 10 metres from the proposed site. Hassall St to the
South, and 200 George St and 1 and 1A Noller Parade to the North East are
other very close sites not monitored. Noise from the Club travels strongly
along the river already.
-
makes no mention of referee whistles and
shouting/cheering that occur at soccer competitions, mentioning only ‘loud
voices’.
In the Section
79c report Council’s Environmental Health Officer has recommended acoustic
monitoring for 6 months. Residents however have absolutely no confidence that
this will happen as Parramatta Workers Club has to date failed to carry out
monthly noise monitoring, a condition of consent of their DA325/2006
(condition 37). When residents have asked both the Club and the Council for this
noise data, each of these organisations has referred us to the other.
1 The development application contains
insufficient detail, particularly the level of detail on the plans, luminous
emittance and traffic and parking.
Another issue-
Residents would
be very much concerned if the Council were to support a proposal which
directly links sport with alcohol. This year the Alcohol Advertising Review
Board has recommended banning makers of alcohol from sponsoring and
advertising sporting events, particularly football, because of that dangerous
mix and its impact on anti-social behaviour and for community health
reasons.
The applicant
has stated at site meetings that one of their target markets is young
children and school groups. Placing sport directly within the Workers Club
venue would promote that connection and is the wrong environment in which to
place an otherwise healthy activity such as soccer and children.
1 The applicant does not satisfactorily
establish that the change of activity from bowling greens to mini football
fields “does not involve a significant intensification of that existing use”
as required by Section 107(c) of the Act and 41(2)(d) of the Environmental
Planning & Assessment Regulation 2000 and has not submitted sufficient evidence
of existing use rights.
The site’s existing use is not as a sports field. The bowling
greens haven’t been used for at least 8 years and currently are used to park
on by Club patrons – so there’s insufficient parking now. It cannot be said
as the council report states that parking is underutilised.
Clearly this proposal would mean a much greater intensification of
the area. According to the applicants 50 people will be on site to play games
scheduled to repeat every 40 minutes after 7pm. After the match, players
retire to the Club or exit the premises. This cyclic activity, repeated by a
different group of 50 people every 40 minutes, would significantly increase
traffic and parking requirements.
There are car accidents currently occurring, on average, at least
weekly at the intersection of George St and Purchase St, right next to the
entrance to the Club. These accident statistics have obviously not been taken
into account by Council’s Traffic Engineer and will only increase if this
goes ahead.
2 It is not
in the public interest.”
