DATE OF REPORT – 8 dECEMBER 2020

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO LPP

 

The proposal is a Section 4.55 (2) modification that varies the height development standard under Clause 4.3 – Height of Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2011 by more than 10%.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

This is a summary of the full assessment of the application as outlined in Attachment 1, the Section 4.55 Assessment Report.

 

The subject site is known as 85 Victoria Road, Parramatta. The current property description is Lot 100 DP 635092.

 

Consent is sought to modify the approved shop top housing development over two levels of basement car parking at 85 Victoria Road, as follows:

 

 

The modification also includes the application of double glazing on all residential windows to comply with the recommendations of the Acoustic Report.

 

Further, the modifications also seek changes to the external finishes which include a simplified external face brick wall finish to parts of the rear of both Building A and Building B.

 

As a result of the proposed modifications an additional 55m² of floor area is proposed or an overall floor area of 10,196.43m². This is an incremental increase 1.9:1. The changes to the lift overrun increases the overall height (at its tallest point on Building A) by 720mm resulting in an overall maximum height of 21.97 metres.

 

The proposed modifications improve the functionality of the development through improvements in changes to fenestration, access to the site and general utility and amenity of the residential units.

 

The overall form of the development and design is considered to be similar to that approved under DA/54/2018 and DA/54/2018/A.

 

The modified proposal was advertised in accordance with Council’s notification procedures contained within Appendix 5 of DCP 2011. In response, no submissions were received.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That the Parramatta Local Planning Panel exercising the functions of Council as the consent authority pursuant to Section 4.16 (1)(b) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, modify development consent DA/54/2018 for approved alterations and additions to the approved shop top housing development on land at 85 Victoria Road, Parramatta, as shown on the plans submitted with the modification application, for a period of five (5) years from the date on the original Notice of Determination, subject to amending Condition No. 1 to reference the amended plans, for the following reasons:

 

1.   The development as modified is substantially the same development for which consent was originally granted.

2.   The modified development will be compatible with the emerging and planned future character of the area.

3.   The modifications do not significantly alter the streetscape appearance of the approved building when viewed from Victoria Road and Macarthur Street;

4.   The modifications allow for compliance with the relevant BCA requirements;

5.   The modified proposal will not result in any significant adverse impacts in respect to privacy, overshadowing or bulk and scale; and

6.   For the reasons given above, approval of the application is in the public interest.

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO LPP

 

The subject application is referred to the Parramatta Local Planning Panel as the applicant is a relative of a member of Council staff.

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

This is a summary of the full assessment of the application as outlined in Attachment 1, the Section 4.15 Assessment Report.

 

Site and Locality

The subject site is known as 111 North Rocks Road, North Rocks. The current property description is Lot C DP 389614. The site is an irregular allotment and has a downhill slope from the front to the rear of approximately 4.2 metres over a distance of 40 metres. The subject site has primary frontage and is afforded direct vehicular access from North Rocks Road. The site has a total area of 700m².

 

The site is zoned R2 Low Density Residential under the Parramatta (Former The Hills) Local Environmental Plan 2012. Surrounding properties are also zoned R2 Low Density Residential, however to the rear of the battle-axe lot adjacent to the subject site is zoned RE1 Public Recreation.

 

The Proposal

The proposed development includes the following components:

 

·    Demolition of existing structures;

·    Removal of nine trees;

·    Construction of a two (2) storey detached dwelling house; and

·    Construction of a swimming pool.

 

Amended plans were submitted during the course of assessment of this application responding to issues raised by Council and submitters. The amended plans are subject of this assessment.

 

The proposal was referred to Council’s Development Engineer, Tree and Landscape Officer, Environmental Health Officer, Biodiversity Planning Officer and Property Services Officer who raised no objections subject to recommended conditions of consent.

 

It should be noted that the initial drainage concept for the proposal was sought by virtue of an easement into Excelsior Reserve which is an area of community land downstream of the site. The easement however did not drain to an existing drainage facility and concern was also raised that such an easement would impact on trees. The method of drainage was amended to be a charged system draining to the street with an absorption trench.

 

The subject site had been subject to compliance action in which a Clean Up Notice pursuant to Section 91 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 was issued to the property owner to remedy the site of unauthorised fill and an erection of a retaining wall. Council’s Development Compliance Team have confirmed that the site now complies with the terms outlined in the Clean Up Notice.

 

The subject application is noted to be identified as bushfire prone land. Pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the Development Application was accompanied with a Bushfire Hazard Assessment Report prepared by Bushfire Planning and Design. Consequently, the application was referred to the NSW Rural Fire Service, who raised no objection to the proposal, subject to conditions where construction must comply with BAL-FZ and AS3959 Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas.

 

The application was notified in accordance with Council’s notification procedures, in which one (1) submission was received. The issues raised within those submissions have been addressed within the assessment report and do not warrant refusal of the application.

 

The proposal has been assessed in accordance with the matters for consideration outlined in Section 4.15(1) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The proposed development is consistent with the aims, objectives and controls of the Parramatta (Former the Hills) Local Environmental Plan 2012 and The Hills Development Control Plan 2012.

 

The proposal is permissible in the R2 Low Density Residential Zone and is suitable within the context of the future desired character of this locality. A merit assessment of the proposal as a whole has concluded that the proposal is satisfactory and results in reasonable impacts to adjoining properties and the locality. The proposal is suitable for the site and is in the public interest.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)       That pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, that the Parramatta Local Planning Panel exercising the function of Council, grant development consent to DA/346/2020 for the demolition of existing structures and construction of a two storey dwelling and a swimming pool. for a period of five (5) years within which physical commencement is to occur from the date on the Notice of Determination, subject to conditions of consent.

1.   The development is permissible in the R2 zone and satisfies the requirements of all of the applicable planning controls.

2.   The development will be compatible with the emerging and planned future character of the area.

3.   The development does not detract from any nearby heritage items.

4.   For the reasons given above, approval of the application is in the public interest.

and Assessment Act 1979 and the aims and objectives of the relevant Council Planning instrument.

6.   To ensure that the local amenity is maintained and is not adversely affected and that adequate safeguards are incorporated into the development.

The Proposal

 

The Development Application seeks development consent for lot consolidation, demolition of outbuildings, refurbishment of existing heritage cottages and additions for commercial use and construction of two attached dwellings at the rear of the site.

 

The application was notified in accordance with Council’s notification procedures contained within Parramatta DCP 2011. No submissions were received during the notification period.

 

The application was referred to Council’s Heritage Advisor who supports the proposal.

 

The proposal has been assessed in accordance with the matters for consideration outlined in Section 4.15(1) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The proposed development is generally consistent with the aims, objectives and controls of the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2011 (LEP) and Parramatta Development Control Plan 2011.

 

The proposal relies on Clause 5.10 of Parramatta LEP 2011 for permissibility and results in a development which retains, restores and improves a heritage item within the locality. A merit assessment of the proposal as a whole has determined that the proposal is satisfactory and is in the public interest.

 

With respect to the issues and matters addressed in detail within Attachment 1, the application is recommended for approval.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)       That the Parramatta Local Planning Panel (PLPP) exercising the functions of Council pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, grant development consent to DA/376/2020 on land at 1-3 Lennox Street, PARRAMATTA  NSW  2150 (Lot 1 DP 501508, Lot 2 DP 501508) for a period of five (5) years within which physical commencement is to occur from the date on the Notice of Determination, subject to conditions of consent.

 

            It has been recommended for approval for the following reasons:

 

1.   The development is permitted in accordance with Clause 5.10(10) Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2011;

2.   The works to the heritage item are acceptable and satisfies the requirements pursuant to Clause 5.10 of Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2011;

3.   The development will be compatible with the emerging and planned future character of the area;

4.   A written request to vary the building height & FSR has been received. The variation sought will not have any adverse impacts. As such, compliance with the standard is unnecessary. Accordingly, Council believes that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify the variation and finds that the application is satisfactory. Council is therefore satisfied that the Applicant’s Clause 4.6 variation request has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated in Clause 4.6(3) of Parramatta LEP 2011 and that the proposed development will be the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the building height control & FSR control and the objectives for development within the R2 zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out. 

5.   The development does not detract from the heritage qualities of the existing heritage item on the site; and

6.   For the reasons given above, approval of the application is in the public interest.
