boundaries of 45.72. The Site has a slope to the front Northern and has a total site area of
6 sqm.
The site is currently a residential home.
1.3 Easements
The property is not affected by any easements.
2.0 PLANNING CONSTRAINTS
The subject property is zoned R2- low density residential under The Strathfield
Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012. The proposal falls within the provisions applicable to
Residential Zoned land in the Strathfield area and is subject to the development controls
outlined in The Strathfield Development Control Plan 2005.
2.1 Development Description
The proposed new residence is a Luxury home; consists of 4 bedrooms & upper lounge on
first floor, a kitchen, dining/living, formal room, theatre, guest accommodation, alfresco
and double lock-up garage to the ground. Plus, the pool.
The residence will be sited to the centre of the block, with the alfresco and living areas
oriented to the rear overlooking private open space and pool within the backyard.
2.2 Density
The density control for this development is well within constraints as consisting of one
dwelling as proposed.
2.3 Building Height
The subject building works will be limited to two storeys, which is well in keeping with
both, dwellings within the area, and the numerical standards of the DCP.
2.4 Setbacks
The residence toward the front of the block and is setback approximately 9m from main
wall and 10.54m to the garage which is keeping within the average of the adjoining
streetscape setbacks. The Side Setbacks are 1.550m from the right and north western
boundary and 1.5m from the left boundary. The rear setback is 9.18m to the Alfresco area.
Page 3 of 62.5 Landscaped Areas
A new garden is proposed on completion of construction works. The new gardens will be
undertaken by the owners as detailed in landscape plan.
2.6 Private Open Space
Private open space is provided at the rear of the proposed residence. This area will provide
flexibility of use for the future occupants.
2.7 Car Parking
The subject proposal will have a double lock-up garage which will be accessed via the
existing right of way adjacent on the north eastern boundary.
2.8 Drainage
Stormwater from the proposed dwelling will be directed via a charged system to the street
kerb and gutter system to council’s requirements.
2.9 Acid Sulphate Soil
This land is not detected to be affected by Acid sulphate soil as per the Section 10.7.
2.10 Soil and Erosion Controls
Silt fence details have been shown on the hydraulic plan and will be in place prior to any
works being commenced, in accordance with council’s requirements.
2.11 Garbage Facilities
The dwelling will be provided with garbage and recycling bins, which will be collected on
the designated collection nights as per council conditions.
2.12 Mail Delivery
Mail box at the front boundary will be to Australia Post requirements.
3.0 DESIGN AND BUILDING
The proposed residence has been designed to take advantage of the surrounding setting
with an emphasis on open living/alfresco areas.
The bulk and scale of the building has been reduced by the use of articulated and stepped
roof lines and open deck areas. The elevations of the building are further articulated by the
use of rendered brickwork to the perimeter walls and a cement render finish.
Minimal to no impact to the amenity of neighbouring properties will result from the
subject proposal.
3.1 Services
All services are available to this site, and are at present located within the site area to the
front of the property.
3.2 Streetscape
No significant change to the streetscape will result from this proposal and will be in
keeping with the theme of the modern architecture within proximity of the home.
Page 4 of 63.3 Sunlight
The orientation and design of this proposal will ensure minimal effects of shadowing will
result and incur minimal impact to adjoining neighbours.
3.4 Fencing
Fencing will be established where appropriate and will be negotiated with the neighbour to
the standards of council regulations.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The development should have negligible environmental impact due to the residential scale
of the proposal and the use of harmonious materials. The proposed built form and
landscaping should maintain, and enhance the scenic quality of the surrounding areas.
4.1 Social and Economic Effects
There will be negligible social and economic effects from this proposal. Economically, this
dwelling will provide work for varying local trades and building materials suppliers.
It is the opinion of the writer that the economic effect of this development on adjoining
residences will be a positive one, in view of the high quality of the proposal and the way it
blends into the surrounding area. The development is consistent with the aims and
objectives of Councils’ planning scheme.
4.2 Bulk, Shape, and Character
The building has been designed to minimise bulk and scale by altering and stepping
rooflines, which provide building separation and articulation. Large landscaped areas
between dwellings of neighbouring sites soften the overall building form.
The visual impact is also lessened by the use of harmonious materials.
4.3 Bushfire Risk
The subject property has no immediate threat to bushfire that requires any specific design
changes.
4.4 Adjoining Residences
It is anticipated that the subject dwelling will have minimal impact on the neighbouring
residence. The proposal is similar in bulk size and scale to other new dwellings within the
local area and will not detract from the existing streetscape.
4.5 Traffic Generation
No significant amplification of traffic will result from this proposal.
4.6 Public Transport
The development is in reasonable proximity to bus stops and other public transport
options.
4.7 Noise
It is not anticipated that the development will generate such levels of noise that will be
disturbing to neighbours or surround area.

The views of the residences adjoining and upstream this development will not be affected.
4.9 Waste Management
Refer to the attached Waste Management Plan for Construction accompanying this report.
A strict management plan for waste management and building operations shall be
enforced. The Builder Morrison Homes Pty Ltd would be responsible for taking over the
waste plan once construction starts.
4.10 Access
Access to the site will be via an existing vehicle crossing off Shortland Avenue. (As shown
on the site plans).
4.11 Conclusion
The proposal before Council is in keeping with both the descriptive and numerical
standards of Councils’ LEP and DCP.
It is felt that this proposal is in keeping with its context in this exclusive area of open
flowing airy and light filled, stately homes of this estate.
This proposal up-holds the intent of both the Local Environmental Planning policies, and
the DCP’s, that have been formulated to provide a quality, and desirable living
environment. The proposed construction is designed in compliance with the BCA codes and
adheres to the general housing specification – NSW (incorporating the HIA guide to
Materials & Workmanship revised September 2013)
