Development Application Analysis of Model C, E & F

Throughout the design and construction process, I ensured that each element of my proposed modifications met local government area and zoning criteria to ensure thier feasability. Below is a justification of several key elements.

Zoning: R2 - Low Density Residential

Permitted uses with consent – Bed and breakfast accommodation; Boarding houses; Building identification signs, Business identification signs; Centre-based child care facilities; Community facilities; Dwelling houses; Environmental protection works; Exhibition homes; Flood mitigation works; Group homes; Health consulting rooms; Home-based child care; Home businesses; Home industries; Hospitals; Neighbourhood shops; Oyster aquaculture; Places of public worship; Pond-based aquaculture; Recreation areas; Respite day care centres; Roads; Secondary dwellings; Tank-based aquaculture

Intended Uses – Dwelling Houses; Home Businesses

Maximum Allowable Height – 9.5m

Modification Height – 9.2m

Permissible floorspace ratio – 0.3:1

Resulting floorspace ratio – 0.2719:1

Windows are positioned suitably to look into existing courtyard, and neighbours privacy is maintained by means of existing trees and hedge growth. The modification is not visible from the street in any large capacity and bolsters the sustainability of the property through integration of renewable solar power and additional planting. 

No vegetation is removed for the upgrade. The roofline will fall well below the higher set development of a new dwelling to the east and their amenity and view will not be affected so long as they too comply with privacy regulation. 

 

The character of the extension is a synergetic reflection of surrounding historical and contemporary features, blending the existing colour and layout of the property with contemporary design and materials more in line with the dwelling to the east, and boxier second story extension in keeping with the dwelling to the West.
