Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 2 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This development application seeks approval from NSIPP for alterations and additions to the existing semi detached dwelling on land at No. 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay. The application is reported to North Sydney Independent Planning Panel for determination following the submission of amended plans as required by the Panel’s resolution dated 6 May 2015. A total of three (3) submissions were received against the amended proposal. The issues raised in these submissions primarily relate to the loss of solar access and visual privacy. The amended plans have made changes to the rear first floor building line and floor to ceiling heights at the rear of the ground floor to improve solar access to windows W8, W9 and W10 of No.39 Ben Boyd Road between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice. The amended plans indicate that there will be no additional overshadowing beyond that caused by the existing southern boundary fence. The amended proposal will maintain a reasonable level of solar access to the main living room of No.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice. The applicant has also deleted the front dormer to maintain the heritage significance of the dwelling. A condition of consent is recommended that the rear first floor balcony be re-designed to be more of a Juliette style balcony to address the requirement of NSIPP. The re-design of this balcony and the addition of louvres and obscure glazing to a number of the southern windows will ensure reasonable privacy is maintained with No.39 Ben Boyd Road. Subject to recommended conditions of consent, the amended proposal has generally addressed the requirements of NSIPP in their resolution dated 6 May 2015. Accordingly, the proposed development is recommended for approval.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 4 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL The application seeks approval from NSIPP for alterations and additions to the existing semi detached dwelling on land at No. 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay. The proposal has been modified with the submission of amended plans as requested in the Panel’s resolution dated 6 May 2015. The key changes to the original proposal (those plans received by Council on 20 March 2015) are summarised below: (a) The first floor setback has been increased by between 400mm and 1500mm from the rear

boundary by virtue of the splayed rear building line. (c) The planter boxes along the southern facade of the dwelling have been deleted. (d) The floor to ceiling heights on the south eastern corner of the ground floor reduced from

2.9 metres to 2.3 metres. (e) The architectural detailing on the eastern facade has been deleted. New architectural

detailing has been provided on the southern facade. (f) The first floor eastern balcony has been reduced in area and reconfigured. (g) The front dormer has been deleted. COMPLIANCE The Assessment Report prepared for the NSIPP Meeting on 6 May 2015 contains a detailed consideration of the issues regarding this development. The report and its attachments are also attached to this report and should be referred to in relation to the original assessment of this proposal. The amended proposal has increased the first floor rear setback, splayed the rear building line, re-designed the rear first floor balcony and lowered the floor to ceiling height which will improve solar access to northern windows W8, W9 and W10 of the primary living room of No.39 Ben Boyd Road between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice. The removal of the front dormer will maintain the streetscape significance of the heritage item. This amended proposal does not introduce new non-compliances with the relevant LEP and DCP controls.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 5 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

NSDCP 2013 RELEVANT HISTORY The history of key events following NSIPP’s consideration of the subject application on 6 May 2015 is summarised below: 6 May 2015 – An assessment report recommending refusal of the application was considered by NSIPP. Following a site inspection by NSIPP and further deliberations, the Panel made the following resolution:

The Panel resolved to defer the item to its next available meeting to enable the applicant to amend the plans to provide for: a) Improved solar access to No. 39 Ben Boyd Road in respect of windows W8,

W9 and W10 at the winter solstice to the extent that there is no further additional overshadowing than that provided by the fence at 11am and for windows W8 and W9 at midday;

b) The awning to the ground level is to be amended to satisfy a) above; c) The balcony off the first level bedroom is to be amended to a Juliette style

balcony to improve privacy and any overshadowing must also satisfy a) above;

d) The dormer window to the street is to be deleted. (Panel Reason: To allow development of the dwelling without unreasonable impacts to the adjoining properties, and to maintain the streetscape significance of the heritage items. The Panel considers the removal of the staircase will not adversely affect the heritage significance of the item. The amended plans if required need to be renotified under the provisions of the North Sydney DCP)

18 June 2015 - The applicant submitted a set of amended plans and shadow diagrams. The shadow diagrams were certified by a registered surveyor. Council’s Assessment Officer noted inconsistencies between the amended plans and shadow diagrams. 23 June 2015 - The applicant submitted further amended plans which resolved a number of these inconsistencies. 30 June 2015 to 14 July 2015 - The further set of amended plans were re-notified to surrounding property owners. A total of three (3) submissions were received against the amended proposal. Development at No.43 Ben Boyd Road The architectural plans including shadow diagrams indicate a previously approved two storey addition at No.43 Ben Boyd Road. A perusal of Council’s records indicate that DA15/05 for alterations and additions to the existing semi-detached dwelling approved under delegated authority on 13 January 2006 however lapsed on 13 January 2009. REFERRALS Heritage

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 6 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

The amended proposal was referred to Council’s Conservation Planner whose comments are summarised below:

The removal of the front dormer is supported as it will maintain the significance of the heritage item. The rear first floor balcony has a maximum depth of 1.5metres and is not considered to constitute a Juliette style balcony as requested by the Panel. Whilst the balcony will not be visible from the public domain and will not impact upon the heritage significant front facade, the deep splayed form of the balcony would add an uncharacteristic element to a Victorian terrace. To further improve solar access and provide a more sensitive heritage outcome a shallow (500mm deep) Juliette balcony should be provided. To maintain the heritage significance and character of the dwelling, it is recommended that the following changes are made:

The rear first floor balcony should be reduced in depth to 500mm and have a steel palisade balustrade [refer to Condition C1(b)].

The southern glazing (W3) to bedroom 3 have vertical not horizontal proportions (refer to Condition C3).

The southern glazing on the first floor master bedroom and ensuite (W8) have also been modified to highlight windows. Horizontal (highlight) windows are not sympathetic to the character of a Victorian terrace and contrary to O3 in Part B Section 13.5.1 which is to ‘ensure significant features of heritage items are retained and that development is sympathetic to these features with particular regard to bulk, form, style, character, scale, setbacks and materials'.

Planning comment The balcony indicated on the amended proposal has a maximum depth of 1.5metres and an area of approximately 3.6m². This balcony is not considered a Juliette style balcony as required by the NSIPP resolution. A condition of consent is recommended that the balcony be re-designed to have a maximum depth of 500mm to be more characteristic of a Juliette style balcony. It is also recommended that the steel framed glass balustrades be removed and replaced with steel palisade balustrades. The first floor slab that extends out over the rear of the ground floor must be non trafficable and may be planted with grasses and succulents to a maximum height of 100mm to maintain reasonable amenity with the adjoining properties [refer to Condition C1(d)]. The highlights windows on the southern façade will not be visible from the public domain. The highlight windows are considered appropriate to maintain reasonable visual privacy with the main living rooms of No.39 Ben Boyd Road SUBMISSIONS The submitters of the original proposal were notified about the submission of the amended proposal between 30 June 2015 and 14 July 2015. A total of three (3) submissions were received against the amended proposal. The issues raised in these submissions are summarised below and addressed later in this report. Basis of Submissions

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 7 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

The design of the balcony is not in accordance with the resolution of the Panel. The amended proposal will still cause a loss of solar access for 5 of the 6 northern ground

floor living room windows within No.39 Ben Boyd Road. The existing shadow diagrams prepared for mid winter are incorrect. The amended proposal is non compliant with the building height control in NSLEP 2013

and side setback control in NSDCP 2013. The proposal is contrary to the zone objectives and the aims of the NSLEP 2013. The proposed amendments are minor and unlikely to result in a material improvement in

solar access to the main living spaces of No.39 Ben Boyd Road. The southern glazing on the ground floor addition should be fixed and frosted to maintain

privacy and security. The proposed new open steel side access gates are likely to cause safety and security

issues. The amended plans are unclear and inconsistent The amended proposal will result in additional overshadowing to the rear garden of No.37

Ben Boyd Road The proposal will generate additional pressures on the existing sewer lines. CONSIDERATION The relevant matters for consideration under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, are assessed under the following headings: An assessment of the original proposal on the relevant matters for consideration under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 was provided in the assessment report to NSIPP dated 27 April 2015 (refer to Attachment 4). This section of the report provides an assessment of the amended proposal in the context of the requirements of the NSIPP resolution.

a) Improved solar access to No. 39 Ben Boyd Road in respect of windows W8, W9 and W10 at the winter solstice to the extent that there is no further additional overshadowing than that provided by the fence at 11am and for windows W8 and W9 at midday;

Key changes to improve solar access The amended proposal has provided an increased first floor rear setback by between 400mm and 1500mm by virtue of the splayed rear building line and lowered the floor to ceiling height of the south eastern corner of the ground floor from 2.9 metres to 2.3 metres. Consideration has been given below to the existing shadow cast by the subject dwelling and southern boundary fence on windows W8, W9 and W10 of No.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice - Existing shadow cast be the subject dwelling The existing dwelling on the subject site does not overshadow the windows referred to in the NSIPP resolution, being windows W8, W9 and W10 between 9am and 12pm at the winter solstice (as indicated in figure 1 below). The awning structure indicated on the shadow diagrams, on the eastern side of the ground floor, is non existent and any shadow caused by it

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 9 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

Figure 1 - Existing shadow diagrams between 9am and 12pm at the winter solstice Existing shadow cast by the southern side boundary fence There is an existing timber paling fence with maximum height 1.8 metres that is located on the subject site, adjacent to the southern boundary of the site. There is some landscaping growing along and above this part of the fence which contributes to some overshadowing of windows W8, W9 and W10 at the winter solstice (refer to Figure 2 below). The amended plans indicate the ‘reconstruction’ of this fence. A condition is recommended that this fence be constructed to a height no greater than 1.8metres above the existing ground level of the subject site and that the existing landscaping above the fence line be removed. Any new landscaping adjacent to this southern boundary fence must not attain a mature height greater than the height of the reconstructed boundary fence (1.8metres) (refer to Condition C2).

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 10 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

As detailed above, the existing southern boundary fence on the subject site already causes some overshadowing to windows W8, W9 and W10 between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice. The amended proposal has an increased the first floor rear setback of between 400mm and 1500mm by virtue of the splayed rear building line and lowering the floor to ceiling height of the south eastern corner of the ground floor from 2.9 metres to 2.3 metres so as not to result in any additional overshadowing to the glazed areas of windows W8, W9 and W10 between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice as detailed below: Windows W9 and W10 between 9am and 12pm at the winter solstice By virtue of the proposed rear building line along both the ground and first floor of the addition and the lowering of the floor to ceiling height, there would be no additional overshadowing to window W9 and W10 between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice (refer to Figure 3 below).

Page 11: NORTH SY DNEY COUNCIL REPORTS · 2015-07-30 · 4. Report and resolution of NSIPP (6/05/2015) ADDRESS/WARD: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay (C) APPLICATION No: DA384/14 PROPOSAL: Alterations

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 11 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

Figure 3 – Proposed shadow diagrams between 9am and 12pm at the winter solstice Window W8 at 12pm at the winter solstice The south eastern corner of the first floor has been appropriately splayed and setback from the rear boundary so as not to affect solar access to the glazed area of W8 at 12pm at the winter solstice. At 12pm during the winter solstice, the window frame of W8 would be partially overshadowed by the south eastern corner of the first floor addition, however, at this time there would be no affectation of the glazed area of this window (refer to Figure 4 below).

Figure 4 – Proposed 12pm shadow diagram at the winter solstice In conclusion, the amended proposal would not cause any additional overshadowing, above that cause by the existing southern fence, to the glazed areas of windows W8, W9 and W10 between 9am and 12pm at the winter solstice. The amended proposal is therefore considered to satisfy point (a) of the NSIPP resolution.

b) The awning to the ground level is to be amended to satisfy a) above; The awning over the rear of the ground floor has been deleted.

c) The balcony off the first level bedroom is to be amended to a Juliette style balcony to improve privacy and any overshadowing must also satisfy a) above;

The balcony indicated on the amended proposal has a maximum depth of 1.5metres and an area of approximately 3.6m². This balcony is not considered a Juliette style balcony as required by the NSIPP resolution. A condition of consent is recommended that the balcony be re-designed to have a maximum depth of 500mm to be more characteristic of a Juliette style balcony. It is also recommended that the steel framed glass balustrades be removed and replaced with steel palisade balustrades The first floor slab that extends out over the rear of the ground floor must be non trafficable and may be planted with grasses and succulents to a maximum height of 100mm to maintain reasonable amenity with the adjoining properties [refer to Condition C1(d)]. Pergola over the first floor balcony The amended proposal indicates an open pergola over the entire width of the rear facade. It is recommended via a condition of consent that this pergola and vertical banding be removed given the recommended re-design the balcony to be more like a Juliette style balcony. Architectural detailing on the southern facade The proposed vertical banding on the southern facade of the dwelling provides visual interest to this facade without affecting solar access to windows W8, W9 and W10 during the winter solstice.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 13 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

The other windows W5, W6 and W7 along the northern elevation of No.39 Ben Boyd Road There are three (3) other windows (W5, W6 and W7) along the northern elevation of No.39 Ben Boyd Road that provide some solar access to the ground floor living room of this dwelling during the winter solstice. The amended proposal will result in the loss of solar access to window W5, W6 and W7 during the winter solstice. It is likely that any redevelopment at the rear of the existing dwelling to provide improved internal living spaces on both the ground and first floor will result in the loss of solar access to the above mentioned windows during the winter solstice. A rear addition that was fully compliant with the building height in NSLEP 2013 and side setback controls in NSDCP 2013 would result in a similar loss of solar access to the above mentioned windows. It is simply not practicable to totally eliminate impacts from a complying or near complying scheme in such a tight dense residential area such as this. The proposed south eastern corner of the first floor is setback a further 2.3 metres than the first floor of No.39 Ben Boyd Road from the rear boundaries. For windows W6 and W7 to receive close to three (3) hours of solar access at the winter solstice, the south eastern corner of the first floor would need to be pulled back a further 3 metres which is not considered reasonable as it will affect the useability of this bedroom/en-suite and is considered unnecessary as satisfactory solar access will be maintained to windows W8, W9 and W10 of No.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice. d) The dormer window to the street is to be deleted. The dormer window on the front elevation has been deleted under the amended plans. In conclusion, the amended proposal has satisfactorily addressed items (a), (b) and (d) of this resolution. A condition of consent is recommended to address item (c) of this resolution. In addressing these items, the amended proposal is considered to maintain a reasonable level of solar access to the main living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd road during the winter solstice whilst also maintaining the heritage significance of the dwelling. Other matters for consideration Visual privacy The amended proposal indicates three (3) new first floor windows (W2 and W3) to bedroom 3 and the en-suite. There is a bedroom window directly opposite at No.39 Ben Boyd Road. The windows are separated by 865mm, and there will likely be some overlooking, a condition of consent is recommended that the bottom pane of these windows (W2 and W3) be fitted with fixed obscure glazing to maintain reasonable privacy between properties [refer to Condition C17 (a)]. The amended proposal also indicates new full length windows (W5) with external louvres along the southern facade of the rear addition. A further condition is recommended that these be horizontal louvres be fixed at an angle of 45 degrees to maintain reasonable privacy between properties [refer to Condition C17(b)]. The amended proposal also indicates new first floor highlight windows (W1 and W8) along the southern facade. These windows have a floor to sill height of 1.8 metres and would not adversely affect privacy with this adjoining property.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 14 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

Safety and security The amended proposal indicates a new gate to provide access from the front porch of the subject site down the right of way to the rear of the subject site. The subject site benefits from this right of way. The new gate will be located wholly within the subject site and it is recommended that a lock be installed on this gate to maintain safety and security for the occupants of the subject property and the adjoining property at No.39 Ben Boyd Road (refer to Condition G1). SITE SUITABILITY The amended proposal will maintain the heritage significance of the dwelling and a reasonable level of solar access to the main living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice and is therefore considered to be suitable for the subject site. SUBMITTORS CONCERNS The amended proposal was notified to adjoining properties between 30 June 2015 and 14 July 2015. A total of three (3) submissions were received against the amended proposal. The issues raised by the submitters are summarised and addressed below:

The design of the balcony is not in accordance with the resolution of the Panel. The balcony indicated on the amended proposal has a maximum depth of 1.5metres and an area of approximately 3.6m². This balcony is not considered a Juliette style balcony as required by the NSIPP resolution. A condition of consent is recommended that the balcony be re-designed to have a maximum depth of 500mm to be more characteristic of a Juliette style balcony. It is also recommended that the steel framed glass balustrades be removed and replaced with steel palisade balustrades The first floor slab that extends out over the rear of the ground floor must be non trafficable and may be planted with grasses and succulents to a maximum height of 100mm to maintain reasonable amenity with the adjoining properties [refer to Condition C1(d)].

The amended proposal will still impact 5 of the 6 northern ground floor living room windows of No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

Comment As detailed within this report, the amended proposal would result in no additional overshadowing to the glazed areas of windows W8, W9 and W10 along the northern facade of No.39 Ben Boyd Road between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice. The amended proposal would overshadow the other windows (W5, W6 and W7) along the northern facade of No.39 Ben Boyd between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice. It should be noted that any redevelopment at the rear of the existing dwelling at No. 41 Ben Boyd Road to improve internal living spaces on both the ground and first floor will likely result in the loss of solar access to windows W5, W6 and W7 during the winter solstice. The amended proposal is considered to maintain reasonable solar access to the main living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice.

The existing shadow diagrams prepared for mid winter are incorrect.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 15 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

Comment The existing shadow diagrams indicate a ground floor rear awning structure and works from lapsed development consent at No.43 Ben Boyd Road. The shadow cast by these structures were excluded from the assessment (refer to Figure 5 below).

Figure 5 - Incorrect aspects of the shadow diagrams

The amended proposal is non compliant with the building height control in NSLEP 2013 and side setback control in NSDCP 2013.

Comment A rear two storey addition that is fully compliant with the building height (5.5 metres) and side setback controls (900mm on the ground floor and 1.5metres on the first floor) would result in a similar loss of solar access to windows W5, W6 and W7 along the northern facade of No.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice.

The proposal is contrary to the zone objectives and the aims of the NSLEP 2013. Comment The amended proposal is considered to achieve the relevant zone objectives as the heritage significance of the dwelling will be maintained with the removal of the front dormer and the main living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road will maintain a reasonable level of solar access during mid winter as discussed in detail throughout this report. The proposal is therefore considered to achieve the relevant zone objectives and aims of the NSLEP 2013.

The proposed amendments are minor and unlikely to result in a material improvement in solar access to the main living spaces of No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 16 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

The amended proposal has provided an increased first floor rear setback by between 400mm and 1500mm by virtue of the splayed rear building line and lowered the floor to ceiling height of the south eastern corner of the ground floor from 2.9 metres to 2.3 metres. These amendments result in improved solar access to windows W8, W9 and W10 during the winter solstice and satisfy the requirements of NSIPP.

The southern glazing on the ground floor addition should be fixed and frosted to maintain privacy and security.

Comment The amended proposal indicates new full length windows (W5) with external louvres along the southern facade of the rear addition. A further condition is recommended that these be horizontal louvres be fixed at an angle of 45 degrees to maintain reasonable privacy between properties [refer to Condition C17(b)].

The proposed new open steel side access gates will likely cause safety and security issues.

Comment The amended proposal indicates a new gate to provide access from the front porch down the right of way to the rear of the subject site. The new gate will be located wholly within the subject site and it is recommended that a lock be installed on this gate to maintain safety and security for the occupants of the subject property and the adjoining property at No.39 Ben Boyd Road (refer to Condition G1).

The proposal will generate additional pressures on the existing sewer lines. Comment A condition of consent is recommended requiring that the approved plans be submitted to Sydney Water to determine whether the proposal will affect Sydney Water’s sewer and water mains and if further requirements need to be met (refer Condition D1).

The amended proposal will result in additional overshadowing to the rear garden of No.37 Ben Boyd Road

Comment The amended proposal will not affect morning solar access to the rear garden of No.37 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice.

The amended plans are unclear and inconsistent Comment The applicant has also corrected/rectified a number of the inconsistencies found on the earlier plans. As detailed earlier within this report, the works indicated at No.43 Ben Boyd Road have

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page 17 Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

lapsed and were not considered in this assessment. Appropriate conditions are recommended to maintain reasonable amenity with the adjoining property. REQUEST FOR FURTHER DEFERRAL The adjoining owner through their solicitor has requested a further deferral of this matter so that they can study in detail the shadow diagrams prepared. As noted earlier in this report save for some minor discrepancies, the shadow diagrams are reliable and suitable for assessment. However it is open to the panel to further defer the matter if it is in any doubt. PUBLIC INTEREST The amended proposal is considered to be in the public interest for the reasons provided throughout this report. CONCLUSION The amended plans have made changes to the rear first floor building line and floor to ceiling heights of the ground floor to improve solar access to windows W8, W9 and W10 of No.39 Ben Boyd Road between 9am and 12pm during the winter solstice. The amended plans indicate that there will be no additional overshadowing beyond that caused by the existing southern boundary fence. The amended proposal will maintain a reasonable level of solar access to the main living room of No.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice. The applicant has also deleted the front dormer to maintain the heritage significance of the dwelling. A condition of consent is recommended that the rear first floor balcony be re-designed to be more like a Juliette style balcony to address the requirement of NSIPP. The re-design of this balcony and the addition of louvres and obscure glazing to a number of the southern windows will ensure reasonable privacy is maintained with No.39 Ben Boyd Road. The subject proposal is largely consistent with other approvals given in the neighbourhood. Subject to recommended conditions of consent, the amended proposal has generally addressed this requirement of NSIPP. Accordingly, the proposed development is recommended for approval. RECOMMENDATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 80 OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT ACT 1979 (AS AMENDED) A THAT North Sydney Independent Planning Panel, as the consent authority, assume the

concurrence of the Director General of the Department of Planning and Environment and invoke the provisions of Clause 4.6 with regard to the exception to the development standard for building height and grant consent to Development Application No. 384/14 for alterations and additions to the existing semi detached dwelling on land at 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay subject to the attached conditions including the following site specific conditions:-

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page2

Re: 4l Ben Road, Neutral Bay

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This development application seeks approval from NSIPP for alterations and additions to the

existing semi detached dwelling on land at No. 4l Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay.

The application is reported to NSIPP because the proposed works are above the

permissible height limit of 5.5m pursuant to clause 4.3(28) in NSLEP 2013. The

noncompliance with the permitted height limit is greater than l0V" requiringdetermination by NSIPP as directed by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure.

Council' s notification of the original proposal has attracted three (3) submissions against and one

(l) submission in support ofthe proposal. The submissions raised particular concerns about loss

of solar access and visual privacy, excessive bulk and scale and non compliance with building

height and side setback controls.

The design and location of the main open plan living room of the adjoining property at No.39

Ben Boyd Road mean they are largely reliant on solar access through the ground floor northern

windows. The existing subject dwelling maintains greater than three hours of solar access to at

least three (3) of the six (6) ground floor northern windows during mid winter and the equinox.

Of these ground floor northern windows, the proposed development maintains approximately two

and a half hours of solar access to two (2) of the windows and only one and a half hours to one

(1) of the other windows during mid winter. The non compliance with the building height and

side setback controls contribute to this level of overshadowing to this adjoining property.

Whilst the applicant has indicated that a building envelope that complied with the building height

and side setback controls would result in a greater level of overshadowing to this adjoiningproperty, the rear building setback and architectural detailing on both the ground and first floors

are the main contributor to this level of overshadowing to the main living areas of No.39 Ben

Boyd Road. On balance, the level of overshadowing is considered unacceptable as only a quarter

of the floor area of the main living room of No.39 Ben Boyd Road would receive any solar access

during mid winter contrary to Council's controls.

Council's Conservation Planner considers that the proposed dormer on the front elevation willnot be compatible with the adjoining heritage listed properties. The proposed removal of the

original internal staircase is also contrary to the heritage controls which require the retention and

preservation of interior original decorative features. These aspects ofthe proposalare likelytoresult in an adverse impact to significance of the heritage item.

Following this assessment, and having regard to the provisions of Section 79C of the

Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979, the application is considered to be

unreasonable in the site circumstances and recommended for refusal due to adverse solar access

and heritage impacts.

REFERRALS

Building

The application has not been assessed in respect of the Building Code of Australia however a

condition requiring compliance with the BCA was originally recommended for imposition and

remains on the consent. Furthermore, should significant changes be necessary to facilitate the

release of a Construction Certificate for the works included in this application, an additionalSection 96 application may be necessary.

Heritage

The amended proposal was referred to Council's Conservation Planner whose comments are

summarised below:

Heritage Status ond Signfficance

The subject property is listed as a heritage item but is not located within a conservation

area. Itforms part of the Ben Boyd Victorian Houses Group and is one ofþur terraces.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Ofhcer Page 8

Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral BaY

Front dormer - The amended proposal has modified the front dormer to have

Victorian proportions. Whilst this is an improvement, it is prefened that the

terrace has no dormer on the primary elevation as there are no approved

dormers on any of the terraces within the Ben Boyd Victorian Houses Group

No's. 43, 43A, 45 and 47 Ben Boyd Road). It is considered that the proposal

would result in an adverse impact on the significance of the heritage item

controry to Provision 3(d) in Part B, Section 1.4'11 in NSDCP 2013.

First floor rear balustrade - The first floor rear balcony must have a steel

palisade balustrade, not a glazed balustrade, to maintain the heritage

significance of the dwelling.

Interior staircase - The demolition of the original staircase is not supported as itis contrary to Objective Ot in Part B, Section 13.5.5 Interior Layouts'Toensure that signijìcant interior elements are retained and preserved; and

Provision PS in Part B, Section 13.5.5 Interior Layouts - Retain signfficønlinternal originøl features including ioinery, door sets, Jire places...

Council's consewation planners have consistently required the retention ofinterior ori ginal de corat iv e fe atur e s.

Firsl floor gtaZing - The first floor glazing to bedroom 3 and the bathroom

(l\indows í42 andW3) must have proportions sympathetic to the Victorian style,

that is, the single wide window to bedroom 3 as indicated on the first floor plan

must be separated into two separate nawower windows'

The southern highlight glazing on the first floor master bedroom and en-suite

Qír$ is contrary to Ohjective O3 in Part B, Section 13.5.1 - Protecting heritage

sígniJícance Ensure significantfeatures of herilage items are retained andlhatdevelopment is sympalhetíc to these features vtilh particular regurd to bulk,

form, slyle, characler, scale, selbacks and malerials.

To ensure consistency with this obiective, W8 to the master bedroom must be

modified to have two vertically proportionedwindows similar to Point 3 above.

The southern window to the en-suite could also have one smaller verticallyproportionedwindow above the hand basins.

Roof sheeting - The proposed roof sheeting must have a wide profile pan

(minimum 275 mmwidth), or roof sheetingwith a standing seam construction to

maintain the heritage significance of the dwelling. Klip Lok sheeting must not to

be used as is not characteristic of materials used on heritage items.

Planning comment

The ftont dormer and the removal of the original internal staircase are likely to have an adverse

impact on the significance of the heritage item and are not supported. If NSIPP is of a mind to

approve the subject application, the changes to the balustrades, glazingand roofsheeting could

be dealt with by conditions of consent.

The application was refened to Council's Development Engineer who generally supported the

proposal on engineering grounds subject to standard conditions ofconsent.

SUBMISSIONS

Orieinal proposal

The original proposal was notified to adjoining property owners and the Hayes Precinct seeking

.o--*t between 14 November2014 and 28 November 2014. Atotal of three (3) submissions

were received against and one (l) submission in support of the original proposal. The issues

raised in these submissions are summarised below and addressed later in this report'

Basis of Submissions

. The rear extension and first floor addition would severely obstruct solar access and daylight

to the main living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

. The proposal is non compliant with the building height control in NSLEP 2013 and side

setback control in NSDCP 2013.. The proposal is contrary to the zone objectives and the aims of NSLEP 2013.

. The solar diagrams are inaccurate

. The proposal is likely to have an adverse visual privacy impact upon the main living spaces

and rear private open space of No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

. The bulk and scale of the addition is generally uncharacteristic of the locality.

. There would be a loss of outlook from the main bedroom and adjoining balcony ofNo.43A

Ben Boyd Road.. The potential for overlooking in the rear yard of No. 434 Ben Boyd Road.

. The likely traffic impacts along Ben Boyd Road during construction works.

Amended proposal

The amended proposal was notified to adjoining property owners for comment between 25 March

2015 and S Afril2015. One (1) submission was received from No. 39 Ben Boyd Road against

the amended proposal raising similar issues to the above.

CONSIDERATION

The relevant matters for consideration under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and

Assessment Act 1979, are assessed under the following headings:

SEPP 55 (Remediation of Land)

The provisions of SEPP 55 require Council to consider the likelihood of land contamination and

any iemediation necessary to rehabilitate the site. Council's records indicate that the site has

préviously been used for residential development and as such is unlikely to contain any

òontamination; therefore the requirements of SEPP 55 have been satisfactorily addressed.

Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

SREP (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005

Having regard to the SREP (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005 (gazetted on 28 September 2005),

and thã Syãney Harbour Foreshores and Waterways Area DCP 2005, the proposed development

is not considered to be detrimental to the Harbour and will not unduly impose upon the character

ofthe foreshore. As such, the development satishes the provisions contained within SREP 2005

and the Sydney Harbour Foreshores and Waterways DCP 2005.

SEPP (Building Sustainabitity Index - BASIX) 2004

As the proposal involves building works which exceed $50,000.00 in value and involve

alterations ánd additions to an existing dwelling a valid BASIX certificate is required detailing

energy effrciency commitments to be undertaken with the proposed works. It is noted that a valid

BASD( certificate has been submitted (Certificate Number A201 I 58 dated 20 October 2014) and

commitments where relevant have been reflected on the plans as submitted. The development is

acceptable in this regard.

NSLEP 2013

The application has been assessed against the relevant provisions ofthe NSLEP 2013 as detailed

below:

Aims of the plan

Consideration has been given to Clause 1.2(cXi) of NSLEP 2013 relating to:

(c) in relation to residential development:(i) to ensure that new development does not adversely affect residential amenity in

terms of solar access "

The proposal is inconsistent with the above aim of NSLEP 2013 because the development willhave,an adverse impact upon the residential amenity ofthe adjoining property (No.39 Ben Boyd

Road) in terms of the level of solar access to the main internal living rooms of this dwelling.

(J) to identify and protect the natural, archaeological and built heritage of North

Sydney and ensure that development does not adversely affect its significance,

The application proposes the addition of a dormer on the primary elevation and the removal ofthe oiiginal internal staircase. Council's Conservation Planner has consistently required the

retentiõn and preservation ofinterior original decorative features, such as staircases and considers

that the front dormer is not be compatible with the adjoining heritage listed properties. The

proposed removal of this original internal staircase and the addition of the front dormer willafect tne heritage significance of the building and is inconsistent Aim of 1.2(2)(f1 of the NSLEP

20t3.

Permissibility within the zone

The site is zoned 'R2 Low Density Residential' under the provisions ofthe North Sydney Local

Environmental plan 2013. The application proposes alterations and additions to a semi detached

dwelling which is a permissible form of development in this zone with development consent

from Council.

Zone objectives

The proposed development will compromise residential amenity in terms of solar access to the

main living rooms of the adjoining property (No.39 Ben Boyd Road), contrary to an objective(dot point 3) of the R2 Low Density Residential zone.

Building Height

Under the provisions of Clause 4.3(28), the maximum height of a building permitted on the

subject site is 5.5m. The maximum height of the existing dwelling is 9.8metres. The proposed

works including the front and rear dormers and rear wing of the dwelling are all above the

maximum building height control of 5 .5m (as indicated in the figure and table below).

The applicant has submitted a written request justifuing the variation to the building heightcontrol. The proposed breach has been assessed in accordance with the requirements of Clause

4.6(3) and (4) of NSLEP 2013. These matters have been considered below:

(a) to promote development that conforms to and reflects naturql landforms, by steppingdevelopment on sloping land to follow the natural gradient

The proposed works do not alter the natural landform of the site.

(b) to promote the retention and, if appropriate, sharing of exisling views

The building elements in breach of the building control will not materially affect filtered views ofthe harbour from the first floor balcony of No.43A Ben Boyd Road by virtue ofthe rear buildingline not extending beyond that of No.39 Ben Boyd Road which is to the south of the subject site

(refer to Figure 2 below). The pergola over the rear of the first floor balcony will not adversely

affect the above mentioned view given the balcony is unenclosed with open steel balustrades

allowing for these filtered views to be retained. A reasonable leveI of view sharing wouldtherefore be maintained between properties.

(c) to mainlain solar access to existing dwellings, public resetves and streets, and topromote solar access for future development'

The breaches to the building height control in conjunction with the length of the rear addition

will materially reduce solar access to the ground floor main living rooms of No.39 Ben Boyd

Road during the winter solstice (refer to detailed discussion under the solar access assessment

later in this report).

(d) to maintain privøcy for residents of existing dwellings and to promote privacy forresídents of new buíldings

The breaches to the building height control, specifically the first floor balcony would promote

overlooking into the rear private open space of No.39 Ben Boyd Road. Whilst this could

potentially be resolved with a privacy screen on the southern side of the balcony, any privacy

,".."n is likely to exacerbate overshadowing to the gound floor living rooms ofNo.39 Ben Boyd

(e) to ensure compøtibilily helween development, particularly at zone boundaries,

The subject site and the group of adjoining heritage listed properties at No's 43 - 47 Ben Boyd

Road make a valuable contribution to the character ofthe locality due to their intactness in terms

of their appearance, built form and scale. It is noted that none of the above mentioned heritage

listed properties have dormers on the front elevation. Council's Conservation Planner considers

that the proposed dormer on the front elevation will not be compatible with the adjoining

properties and is likely to result in an adverse impact to significance of the heritage item'

(f) to encourage øn oppropriate scale and density of development thal is in øccordance

with, and promotes the character of, øn area.

The bulk and scale ofthe rear addition is not considered appropriate in the site context given the

resulting adverse residential amenity impacts to the adjoining property.

It is concluded that objectives (c), (d), (e) and (f) ofthe building height control are not satisfied as

the proposed breaches to the building height control will result in a development that is likely to

havé an adverse impact upon the signifrcance of the heritage item and residential amenity in

terms of solar access and privacy with the adjoining property. Compliance with the maximum

building height control is therefore considered to be reasonable and necessary in the site

circumstances. The written justification seeking variation to Clause 4.3 in NSLEP 2013 is not

considered to be well founded in the site circumstances. Consequently, there are insufficient

planning reasons to justiff non compliance with the building height control as discussed

throughout this report.

Solar access assessment

As previously discussed, one of the primary issues with this application is the loss of solar access

to the main living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road and this will be considered below:

Location of main living areas

The main living areas of the adjoining property at No.39 Ben Boyd Road are open plan (refer to

Photo 6 below) and located on the ground floor of the dwelling. The main living areas rely

largely on solar access through the six (6) northern side window s (refer to Photo 4 below) . There

is a bi-fold door at the rear of this dwelling (refer to Photo 5 below) that also provides some

morning solar access to this main living area.

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Off,rcer Page 14

Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

Photo 6 - Open plan living area of No.39 Ben Boyd Road

Eastern (rear) bi-fold doors

The proposal would not cause material shadowing on the bi-fold door located on the rear

elevátion ofNo 39 Ben Boyd Road because this bi-fold door would primarily be affected by self

shadowing from the existing structures and the dense landscaping at the rear of the sites.

Northern (s ide) ground floor w indow s

The proposed rear addition would however result in a significant increase in overshadowing to

the northern ground floor living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

An assessment of the shadowing impact for the northern windows of living areas of No.39 Ben

Boyd Road has been undertaken in accordance with the planning principles adopted by Senior

Commissioner Moore of the NSW Land and Environment Court in relation to The

Benevolent Society v Waverley Council [20]01 NSWLEC 1082:

I'tPrinciple:

"The ease with which sunlight access can be protected is inversely proportional to the

density of development. At low densities, there is a reasonable expectation that a dwelling

and some of its open space will retain its existing sunlight. (However, even at low

densities there are sites and buitdings that are highlyvulnerable to beingovershadowed.)

At higher densities sunlight is harder to protect and the claim to retain it is not as

strong. "

The subject site and the adjoining sites are zoned R2 Low Density Residential. The application

proposes a two storey rear addition to the existing semi detached dwelling. Whilst acknowledging

ìn" iit" context, there is a reasonable expectation that the adjoining properties should maintain a

reasonable level of solar access, particularly during mid winter.

Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

2nd Principle:

"The amount of sunlight lost should be taken into account, as well as the amount ofsunlight retained"

Winter solstice

The existing dwelling maintains greater than three hours of solar access, to at least three (3) ofthe six (6) ground floor northern windows (W8, W9 and Wl0) of the living area of No.39 Ben

Boyd Road during midwinter.

Of these six (6) ground floor northem windows, the proposed development maintains

approximately two and a half hours of solar access (9am to 1l.30am) to two (2) ofthe windows(W9 and W10) and only one and a half hours (9am to l0.30am) to one (1) of the other windows(W8) during mid winter. The remaining three (3) northern ground floor windows would not

receive any direct sunlight in mid winter.

The proposal would maintain some early moming solar access to the eastern (rear) ground floorwindow of No.39 Ben Boyd Road, however this would largely be obscured by the dense

landscaping at the rear of the sites.

The existing dwelling maintains more than 3 hours of solar access, to five (5) of the six (6)

ground floor northern windows (W6, W7, W8, W9 and WlO) of the living area of No.39 Ben

Boyd Road during the equinox.

The proposed development will maintain approximately 3 hours of solar access, between 9am

and 12pm to three (3) northem windows (W8, W9 and W10) of the living area of No.39 Ben

Boyd Road (refer to Figure 4 below) during the equinox.

3'd Principle:

"Overshadowing arising out of poor design is not acceptable, even if it satisfies

numerical guidelines. The poor quality of a proposal's design may be demonstrated by a

more sensitive design that achieves the same ameniltwithout substantial additional cost,

while reducing the impact on neighbours. "

The proposal is non compliant with both the building height and side setback controls. The

applicant has prepared shadow diagrams indicating that a rear addition that complied with both

ttré UuitOing height and side setback controls would result in a greater level of overshadowing to

the northern living room windows ofNo.39 Ben Boyd Pioad (refer to Figure 5 below). The extent

of overshadowing is largely due to the rear building line. A more sensitive design which provided

greater rear building setback and a compliant building envelope is likely to reduce the level ofovershadowing to No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

4th Principle

" For a window, door or glass wall to be assessed as being in sunlight, regard should be

had not only to the proportion of the glazed area in sunlight but also to the síze of theglazed area itself, Strict mathematicalformulae are not always an appropriate meosure

of solar amenity. For larger glazed areas, adequate solar omeníty in the built space

behind may be achieved by the sun falling on comparatively modest portions of theglazed area. "

The northern ground floor windows (W5, W6, W7, W8, W9 and WlO) at No. 39 Ben Boyd Road

all have glazedareas of approximately 1.8m2 each. The open plan ground floor living space ofNo.39 Ben Boyd Road has a floor area of approximately30m2. Given the size ofthis living area,

to ensure a reasonable level of solar amenity, a majority ofthe glazed area of at least three (3) ofthese windows (W8, W9 and Wl0) should receive a minimum of 3 hours of solar access duringmidwinter.

Sth Principle

" For private open space to be assessed as receiving adequate sunlight, regard should be

had of the size of the open space and the amount of it receiving sunlight. Self-evidently,the smaller the open space, the greater the proportion of it requiring sunlight þr it tohave adequate solar amenity. A useable strip adjoining the living area in sunlight usuallyprovides better solar amenity, depending on the size of the space. The amount of sunlighton private open space should ordinarily be measured at ground level but regard shouldbe had to the size of the space as, in a smaller private open space, sunlightfolling on

seated residents may be adequate. "

By virtue of the sitting of the development, the proposal would maintain a reasonable level ofsunlight to private open space of No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

dh Principle

"Overshadowing by fences, roof overhangs and changes in level should be taken intoconsideration. Overshadowing by vegetation should be ignored, except that vegetationmay be talren into account in a qualitative way, in particular dense hedges that appearlike a solidfence."

Consideration has been given to the overshadowing caused by the southern boundary fence

between the subject site and No.39 Ben Boyd Road and the dense landscaping at the rear ofthesesites.

/h Principle

" In areas undergoing change, the impact on what is likely to be built on adjoining sites

should be considered as well as the existing development"

Re: 41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

The subject and adjoining sites are zoned R2 Low Density residential under the NSLEP 2013.

Whilst ãcknowledging that some redevelopment is likely to occur to the subject site consistent

with neighbouring properties, the proposed development is likelyto cause an unreasonable level

of overshadowing to this adjoining property. The building envelope should be further reduced to

improve solar amenity for the adjoining properties atNo.39 Ben Boyd Road.

Heritage conservation

Council's Conservation Planner considers that the addition of the front dormer and the removal

ofthe original internal staircase will likely adversely impactthe significance ofthe heritage item

contrary to Objective l(b) of Section 5.10 in NSLEP 2013.

No The proposed rear building line does notproperties contrary to P5 in Part B, Section 1.4.6 in NSDCP 2013.

As detailed earlier in this report, the building footprint indicated on

the plans for adjoining property at No.43 Ben Boyd Road are stillnot correct, as this consent has now lapsed. The existing rear

building line ofNo.43 Ben Boyd Road is consistent with the subject

site (refer to photo 7 below). The adjoining property to the south at

No.39 Ben Boyd Road has a rear building line beyond what is

proposed under this application.

To match the average rear setback ofthe adjoining properties (as

indicated by the green dashed line in Photo 7 below), the proposed

rear setback should be increased. A greater rear setback at both the

ground and first floor will also likely reduce the level ofovershadowing to the northern ground floor windows (W8, W9 and

Re: 4l Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

Comment

The proposal is likely to adversely affect the residential amenity of the adjoining property in

terms of solar access and the heritage significance of the dwelling contrary to the aims ofthe plan

and the R2 Low Density Residential zone objectives in NSLEP 2013.

o The likety traffic impacts during construction works.

Comment

If development consent was granted, a condition of consent could be imposed requiring existing

public parking in the vicinity of the site to be maintained during construction works with no

òb.t.u.ìio.rs to roadways to minimizetrafftc impacts to the surrounding road networks.

o The balk of the addition is uncharacteristic of the locality.

Comment

The excessive bulk of the addition, as evidenced by the non compliance with the building height

and minimum setback controls is likely to contribute to an unreasonable level of overshadowing

to the adjoining Property.

o The loss of outlook from the maín bedroom and ødjoining balcony of No-43A Ben

Boyd Road.

Comment

The proposal will maintain a reasonable level of view sharing from surrounding properties

including No.43A Ben Boyd Road as discussed throughout this report.

o The potentiatfor overlooking in the rear yard of no.43A Ben Boyd Road.

Comment

The proposed first floor balcony is setback greater than l0rnetres from the rear yard of No.43A

Road with landscaping in between the properties and therefore unlikely to cause an

unreasonable loss of visual privacy to this property.

o The proposal is likety to result in adverse visual privacy impøcts for the main living

spaces and reør private open sp&ce of No.39 Ben Boyd Road'

Comment

The use of highlight windows and louvres will main a reasonable level of visual privacy with the

living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road. However, the addition of the first floor balcony may cause

overi-ooking into the rear private open space of No.39 Ben Boyd Road. A condition requiring a

privacy ,..é"n on the southem side of the balcony could be imposed which would resolve this

p.inacy issue, however it would contribute to additional overshadowing to the ground floor living

Report of Luke Donovan, Senior Assessment Officer Page24

Re: 4l Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay

PUBLIC INTEREST

The proposal is not considered to be in the public interest for the reasons provided throughout

this report.

CONCLUSION

The development application has been assessed against the North Sydney Local Environmental

Plan 2013, North Sydney Development Control Plan 2013 and the relevant State Planning

Policies.

The design and location of the main open plan living room of the adjoining property at No.39

Ben Boyd Road mean they are largely reliant on solar access through the ground floor northern

windows. The existing dwelling maintains greater than three hours of solar access to at least three

(3) of the six (6) ground floor northern windows during mid winter and the equinox. Of these

ground floor northern windows, the proposed development maintains approximately two and a

half hours of solar access to two (2) of the windows and only one and a half hours to one (1) ofthe other windows during mid winter. The non compliance with the building height and side

setback controls contribute to this level of overshadowing to this adjoining property.

Whilst the applicant has indicated that a building envelope that complied with the building height

and side setback controls would result in a greater level of overshadowing to this adjoining

property, the rear building setback and architectural detailing on both the ground and first floors

is the main contributor to this level of overshadowing to the main living areas of No. 39 Ben

Boyd Road. On balance, the level of overshadowing is considered unacceptable as only a quarter

ofthe floor area of the main living room ofNo.39 Ben Boyd Road would receive any solar access

during mid winter contrary to Council's controls.

Council's Conservation Planner considers that the proposed dormer on the front elevation willnot be compatible with the adjoining heritage listed properties. The proposed removal of this

original internal staircase is also contrary to the heritage controls which require the retention and

preservation of interior original decorative features. These aspects ofthe proposal are likely to

result in an adverse impact to significance of the heritage item.

Having regard to the provisions of SectionTgC of the Environmental Planning & Assessment

Act 1979, the application is considered to be unreasonable in the site circumstances and

recommended for refusal due adverse solar access and heritage impacts.

RECOMMENDATION

PURSUANT TO SECTION 80 OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT

ACT 1979 (AS AMENDED)

THAT the North Sydney Independent Planning Panel, under the delegation of the General

Manager as the consent authority, resolve to refuse development consent to Development

Application No. 84/14 for alterations and additions to the existing semi detached dwelling on

land at No.4l Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay, as shown on plans Drawings numbered DA01 -DAlg,DA14-DAl5 RevC,dated 16/03lz}ls,drawnbySimonRosewellPtyLtd,andreceivedby Council on 20 March 2015 for the following reasons:-

1. Unreasonable solar access impacts

The proposed rear addition is likely to result in an unreasonable level of overshadowing to the

main living areas of the adjoining property.

Particulars

a) The proposed rear addition would adversely affect the residential amenity ofNo.39 Ben

Boyd Road in terms of solar access contrary to Aims of Plan 1.2(2)(c)(i) and an objective(dot point 3) of the R2 Low Density Residential zone in NSLEP 2013.

b) The Clause 4.6 written request from the applicant in relation to the non compliance withthe maximum building height control is not considered to be well founded and there are

insufficient planning grounds to justifr contravening the development standard. The non

compliance with the maximum building height control contributes to a failure to maintainsolar access to No.39 Ben Boyd Road contrary to objective a.3(1)(c) in NSLEP 2013.

c) The proposal does not provide a minimum of 3 hours of solar access (between 9am and

3pm) to the main intemal living areas ofNo.39 Ben Boyd Road during the winter solstice

contrary to Pl(b) in Part B, Section 1.3.6 in NSDCP 2013. A reasonable level of solar

amenity would not be maintained with this property contrary to 01 In Part B, Section

1.3.7 in NSDCP 2013.d) The proposed rear additions fails to comply with the minimum side setbacks and/or

'match' the rear building setback of adjoining properties as specifred within P2 and P5 inPart B, Section 1.4.6 LnNSDCP 2013 which contributes to the level of overshadowing tothe main intemal living areas of No.39 Ben Boyd Road.

2. Heritage impacts

The proposed dormer on the primary elevation and the removal of the original intemal staircase

will adversely impact to significance of the heritage item.

Particulars

a) The proposed dormer on the front elevation will adversely impact the significance oftheheritage item contraryto Aims of Plan 1.2(2)(Ð, Objective 1(b)in Clause 5.10 inNSLEP2013 and Provision 3(d) in Part B, Section l.4.ll in NSDCP 2013. There are no

approved dormers on any of the surrounding terraces within the Ben Boyd VictorianHouses Group (No's. 43,43A,45 and 47 Ben Boyd Road) that are also heritage listedproperties.

b) The proposed demolition of the original staircase is contrary to 01 and P5 in Part B,Section 13.5.5 in NSDCP 2013 which aims to ensure significant interior elements are

retained and preserved.

Clause 4.6(3) of North Sydney LEP 2013 also provides that devclopmcnt conscnt must not be

granted for development that contravenes a developrnent stendard unless the consênt authorlty

has considered a wrltten request from the applicant that seeks to justify the contrawntion of the

development standard. Accordingly, this written request for an exception to Clause 4.3(28) (Height

of buildings) is made in support of the proposed development for the alterations and additions to

the ex¡stlng building at No.41 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay.

Cleuse 4.5 (3) further states that the written request must demonstrate the following:

compliance wÍth the development unrcasonable or unnæessaty

circumstances of the case, and

b) that therc ere sufñcient envi¡onmental plannìng grounds to justify contnvening the

development standard'

In demonstrating compliance with Clause 4,6(3)(e), the non-compliance with the numerical

requirement of the development standatd is to be considered on its merits, It is considered thet an

application may be varied if it satisfies the underlying planning objective or purpose behind that

development standard. The specific objectlves of Clause 4.3 (Height of buildings) in North Sydney

LEP 2013 are as follows:

a) 'to promote tlÊt conforms to nâtuÍel landforms, by stepping

development on sloping land to follow the natural gradlent

b) to promotc ahe rctention and, if appropriate, sharing of existing views'

it is important io noie that the height non-compliance in-itself is not directly responsible

for the overshadowing but rather the overshadowing is a factor of the "close living"

nature of terrace houses or highly wlnerable nature of the €xist¡ng development to belng

overshadowed.

the proposed flat roof form together with the reduced upper level floor plate (from thet

refused under DA194/12) ¡s a much-improved situation in terms of sunlight access and

ambient light.

The applicatlon was considered against the sunlight planning prínciples as contained within

the SEE. ln conclusion the proposed height does not unreasonably reduce sunlight to the

north facing windows to the living/dining room of No. 39 with 3.5 hours of suntight

between 9am and 3pm during the equinox (March) being retaíned.

Thc duration and quality of the sunlight received to the north facíng living room windows

is reasonable having regard for the naturc of tfie immediate arca being terrace houses or

"close'living.

¡n summary having regard for the 6 planning principles adoptcd by Senior Commissloner

Moore of the NSW Land and Environment Court in relation to Th¡ 3cnovol¡nt Soclrty v

Wworley Councll t20101 NSWTEC 1012, it is considered that the proposed rear addition

would not unreasonably diminish the sunlight to the north facing ground floor living room

This 13 done ürough appropriate design end tùe use of a smaller or Juliet balcony off a

m¡in bedroom on the first floor, This balcony is not an entertainment spa€e with limlted

frequency of use. The balcony is setback 1m from the common/northern boundary and

1.4m from the southein boundary,

The nature of the space off a main bedroom; the size of the balcony and the separatíon

distance all contributes to providing adequate visual privacy. A privacy screen could be

installed, however such a privacy screen would potentielly impact on the view corridor' The

proposed compromise is considered as a better environmental outcome for both

properties-

The potential visual privary impacts resulting from the new first floor windows on the south

elevation of the subject dwellíng is mitigated by the installation of translucent or frosted

glazing,

Accordingly, the proposal maintains privacy for residents of existíng dwellings whilst

promoting privacy for residents of the subiect dwelling.

There ís no changc to the cxisting roof lorm ås se€n from thc street excePt for the additlon

of the dormer within the roofspacc. Thc proposed rcar addition would not bc visible from

the street. Duê to the nature of thc terrace houses and the "close" living environment ít

is considered rppropriate to havc ¡ flat roof owr the rear addition, in order to maintain

sunlight access to adjoining propcrtics.

The proposcd devclopment does not dominate the surroundíng propcrties þ virtue of its

bulk nor is it inconsistent with surounding developments. Precedence exists wíth existing

rear built forms all having a building height of more than 5.5m. A similar scale to adjoining

and su¡iounding dwellinEs were adopted (sae FlEurc 3).

In addition the mass on the side boundary has been broken ínto smaller elements by using

materials and finishes (glazing) and stepping the façade. This allows for visual interest

further minimízing the bulk.

Accordlngly, notwlthtendlng the non-compliancc with the numerical standard the proposed

developmcnt achicves the intcnt of the standard ¡nd thus thc objcction is well foundcd. Strict

thc spacificd intcnt of thc ¡t¡ndard.

Wl¡rt rrc lfro rnulroamrnøl y'rnnlng groundl to ¡udfy ütr rrldon?

It ¡s considered that sufficient planning grounds exist pursuant to Clause 4.6(3Xb) to just¡fy

contrevening the maximum building height standard having regard for the followingi

. Consideration of the unique context of the site being a 'close" lí'/ing, terrace gtyle

housing and not a frce standing dwellíng;

. Consistency with the scale and massing of adjoining existing developments;

. Not dominating adjoining spaces; and

. Not advercely impacting on adjoiníng development by way of overshadowing, privacy or

views.

ls thr rrqurrt wdl foundrd?

chíef justice Preston (wehbe v Pittwater council t20071 Nsw LEc 8271 expressed the view that

there are 5 different ways in which a SEPP 1 objection may be well founded and that approval of

the objection may be consistent with the aims of the policy. We consider that 'test' is equally

relevant to the evaluation of a request made pursuant to clause 4.6 of RLEP 20L2- The 5 ways

identified by the Court are:

l. "the objectives of the standatd are achievcd notwithstandíng non'complience with the

landard;

Z. The underlying oÞJective or puryose of the standard is not rclevent to the development and

thcrefore compliarrce is unnecessary;

3. lhe underlyìng object or purpose would be defeated or thwarted if complíance was required

and therefore compliance is unreasonable;

4. The development standard has been vÌrtually abandoned or desÛoyed by the Council' s

own actions ¡n grent¡ng consents depaning from the standard and hence compliance with

the standard is unnecessary and unreasonable; or

Subclause {4) cf clause 4.5 of RLEP 2012 requires consideration of the proposal' s consistency with

both the objectives ofthe standard, and the objectives of the zone, which apply to the site.

Consistency with objectives underpinning the standard is provided above. Considcratíon of

consistency with the objectives for the R2 Low Density Residential zone is addressed below:

The proposal maintains a cons¡stent scale with surrounding residential premíses;

The proposal has no signlficant impact on the conservation of the heritage items

and other sensitive areas; and

thä proposal result in no adverse ameníty impacts on surrounding properties

whilst providing for good internal ameniÇ for future occupants'

In this regard the minor departure from the LEP height control as proposed by this modiflcation

application would result in any outcome that would be inconsistent with the zone objectives

Matt¡r¡ of ¡t¡t¡ or rrglonrl dgnllclncr

There are no planning matters of state or regíonal significance that would result as a consequGnce

of this variation to the development standard'

Thr prHlc bm¡últor mdntdnlng tho l¡nderd

Pursuant to cese law of Ex Gratia P/L v Dungog Council (NSWLEC 148), the question that needs to

be answered is "Whether the pubtic advantages of the proposed development outweigh the

public dìsadvantages of the proposed development'

In this instance it is considered that the objectives of Clause 4.3 (Heíght of buildings) and Clause 4.6

development as:

the alterations and additions achieves a pleasant and attractive living environment for

future occupants whilst not adversely impacting on the surrounding neighbours amenit¡4

no unreasonable massing being consistent with the surrounding properties;

the proposal will result in the orderly and economic use and developmant of land pursuent

to Sect¡on S(aXii) of the EP8¿ A Act 1979 as the site is of an appropriate size, location and

land use zoning to enable the Proposcd development; and

The proposed Height of Buildings variation is considered to have sufficient planning merit
