REASON FOR REFERRAL TO LPP
This item is being referred to the Parramatta Local Planning Panel (PLPP) as more than ten (10) submissions were received during the formal notification period. The proposal has received thirty-three (33) unique submissions. Two (2) submissions were also received post the October LPP meeting in which the application was deferred.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Parramatta Local Planning Panel considered this development application for determination at the October LPP meeting and found that:
“…..the amended design has improved the streetscape appearance and reduced bulk and scale but remains concerned about traffic issues and will defer the application for the following additional information:
(a) The applicant to provide clarification within 21 days on the functionality and operation of the basement carpark specifically to understand vehicle movement when entering and exiting the carpark if all carparking spaces were full, assuming that the operation of the childcare centre would require all drop offs and picks up to occur in the basement;
(b) The Council Officers to provide details of the operation of the “no parking” area in front of the site in terms of its length and times;
(c) The applicant to provide a report within 21 days on vehicular movements at peak childcare times to understand the likely number of vehicles entering and leaving during that period to understand any likely conflict.”
Amended plans and documentation were received from the applicant, which included:
a) Reduction in the number of car spaces within the basement and inclusion of a dedicated turning bay;
b) Reduction in the number of children from 56 to 54 to maintain compliance with the carparking requirements; and
c) Acceptance of a no-parking zone within the frontage of the subject site between the hours of 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday.
Council’s Traffic and Transport Engineer reviewed the Panel’s recommendation on a No-Stopping Zone in front of No. 45 Mobbs Lane and raises no concerns with respect to this zone being established between 7am and 7pm, Monday to Friday.
The proposed development is generally consistent with the requirements of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Educational Establishments and Child Care Facilities, Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2011 and Parramatta Development Control Plan 2011.
Whilst the amendments were not required to be notified in accordance with Appendix 1 of Council’s Community Engagement Strategy, Consolidated Notification Requirements, two objections were received after the October meeting. These objections have been considered in this addendum report.
After consideration of the development against Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, and the relevant statutory and policy provisions, the proposal is suitable for the site and is in the public interest.
(a) That the Parramatta Local Planning Panel (PLPP), exercising the functions of Council, pursuant to Section 4.16(1)(b) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, approve Development Application No. DA/725/2020 on land at Lot 14 in DP 30791, 45 Mobbs Lane, Carlingford NSW 2118, subject to the conditions of consent.
(b) Further, that objectors be advised of the Panel’s decision.
REASONS FOR APPROVAL
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. For the reasons given above, approval of the application is in the public interest.
