The Town has received a development application for Single House at the above-mentioned property.

In accordance with Local Planning Policy 37 – Community Consultation on Planning Proposals, you are invited to comment on the following:

Visual Privacy – The Residential Design Codes prescribes minimum setback distances for unscreened major openings from boundaries in order to achieve a reasonable level of privacy. The application proposes variations as follows:

The alfresco/outdoor living area (an active habitable space, with a floor ~0.77 metres above the natural ground level) proposed should generally either be screened to a minimum height of 1.6m above the finished floor level or be setback 7.5 metres to the adjacent property boundaries. In lieu of this, the raised habitable space is proposed to be located with setbacks to adjacent property boundaries varying between 2.4 metres to 5.5 metres.
