Statutory Provisions:

The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (1979) Strathfield Local Environmental Plan 2012 Strathfield Consolidated Development Control Plan 2005. The site is zoned R2 under Council’s LEP and is not listed as a heritage item nor within a heritage conservation area. Strata Subdivision is permissible with consent.

4.1 Minimum subdivision lot size

(a) to promote consistent subdivision and development patterns that reflect and reinforce the predominant subdivision pattern of the area,

(b) to ensure a variety of lot sizes are maintained of sufficient size and shape to accommodate a variety of development types,

(c) topreservelargeindustriallotsinordertoprovidearangeoflarge-scale sites suitable for industrial activities that require integrated and large floorplates.

2. (2) This clause applies to a subdivision of any land shown on the Lot Size Map that requires development consent and that is carried out after commencement of this Plan.

Development consent may be granted to development on a lot in a zone shown in Column 2 of the Table to this clause for a purpose shown in Column 1 of the Table opposite that zone, only if the area of the lot is equal to or greater than the area specified for that purpose and shown opposite in Column 3 of the Table.

Column1 Dual occupancy, Multi dwelling housing Residential flat building

Column 2 Zone R3 medium density Residential, Zone R3 medium density Residential or R4 high density residential

Column3 560 square metres; 1,000 square metres; 1,000 square metres; Zone R3, R4, B2 local centre; B3 commercial core or B4 mixed use

The proposed two strata lots (Nos. 2A and 2) will have area of 262 metres square and 391 metres square, respectively. These lots areas and boundaries are consistent with the original dual occupancy approval issued in 1997.

Minimum land lot size of 560 metre square for subdivision in accordance Section 4.1A in Strathfield Local Environmental Plan 2012 is not applicable as this is a strata subdivision application.

Compliance with Strathfield Consolidated Development Control Plan 205

This proposed development is consistent with the objectives of Strathfield Consolidated Development Control Plan 2005 Part B.2.12 for subdivision in that subdivision of dual occupancy developments within the 2 (b) Residential zone only is permitted.

Please see attached plans for full details.

Conclusion

This proposed strata subdivision is only creating separate title for a dual occupancy and is considered to have a negligible environmental impact. The site benefits from two street frontages, allowing each dwelling to have its own frontage and direct access. The dwellings are separated by a dividing fence each with their own dedicated off street car parking space and principle private open space.

The strata subdivision of the two lots does not change the physical appearance of the dwellings and does not impact the streetscape nor natural environment.
