REPORT OF            Group Manager Development and Traffic Services         

RECOMMENDED     Approval

 

DATE OF REPORT   22 November 2023

 

REASON FOR REFERRAL TO LPP

 

The proposal includes a variation to Clause 4.3 of the Parramatta LEP 2011 concerning building height. Given the proposal has a top of roof level of RL12.505 AHD, the proposal exceeds the maximum height permissible on the site (RL11m) by 1.505m or 13.68%.  

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The Development Application, DA/405/2023 was lodged to Council on the 17 July 2023 for the construction of new single storey residential dwelling with included attic on land at 140 Alfred Street, Harris Park.

 

The site and surrounding properties are zoned R3 Medium Density Residential. The subject site is located within an established residential area characterised by single storey residential dwellings and currently accommodates a vacant lot.

 

In accordance with the Parramatta Consolidated Notification Procedures, the Development Application was notified from the 17 July 2023 and 31 July 2023. In response no (0) submissions were received.

 

In accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Section 9.1 – Directions by the Minister, this application is reported to the Parramatta Local Planning Panel for determination as the proposed development exceeds the maximum permissible building height by 1.505m which is a 13.7% variation to the development standard. The extent of the variation to the RL11m height control applies to the attic addition proposed towards the rear of the dwelling to meet the flooding requirements of the site and provide refuge above the PMF level.

 

Given that the proposal remains predominately single storey with the exception of the attic space, the proposal is considered to appropriately mitigate visual bulk and scale towards surrounding areas. The proposal also reasonably responds to the land constraints that exist and are unique to the site within the streetscape context. In this instance it would be considered unreasonable to enforce numerical compliance and the proposal as a whole is considered to be acceptable.

 

Having regard to the matters for consideration under Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, it is recommended Development Application DA/405/2023 be approved.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

(a)      That the Parramatta Local Planning Panel, following consideration of written request from the applicant, made under cl 4.6 (3) of the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan 2011, approve a variation to cl. 4.3 (height of buildings) as:

a)  compliance with cl 4.3 (height of buildings) is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances.

b)  there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the development standards.

c)  the applicant’s written request adequately address the matters required to be addressed under cl 4.6 (3) of the LEP; and

d)  the development is in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of cl 4.3 (height of buildings) of the LEP and the objectives for development in the R3 Medium Density Residential zone; and

e)  the concurrence of the secretary has been assumed.

 

(b)      That the Parramatta Local Planning Panel, exercising the functions of Council under section 4.16 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, APPROVE development consent subject to the conditions of consent in Attachment 1.   

 

REASONS FOR APPROVAL

 

1.     The development is permissible in the R3 Medium Density Residential zone pursuant to the Parramatta Local Environmental 2023 and satisfies the requirements of all applicable planning standards controls.

 

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

 

3.     The development will provide housing that accommodates the needs of the existing and future residents of Parramatta.

 

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