DETERMINATION

 

That pursuant to Section 4.16(1)(b) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 the Lane Cove Local Planning Panel at its meeting of 3 May 2022, exercising the functions of Council as the consent authority, refuse Development Application DA131/21 for the demolition of existing structures, and construction of a multi-dwelling housing comprising 17 townhouses with basement car parking at 21-25 Austin Street Lane Cove. The proposal is recommended to be refused for the following reasons:

 

Lack of Information:

 

1.     The proposal does not include adequate information to make an assessment.

 

        Particulars:

       The proposal includes a variation with the height control under clause 4.3 of the Lane Cove LEP 2009.  No clause 4.6 variation statement was submitted to support the variation. Under Clause 4.6 (3) Council cannot grant consent to a development that contravenes a development standard unless a written request to justify the contravention of the development standard.

 

Aims of Lane Cove Local Environmental Plan 2009:

 

2.          The proposed development does not meet the aims of Lane Cove Local Environmental Plan 2009.

 

Particulars:

 

(a)  The proposed development would not preserve and improve the existing character, amenity and environmental quality of the land and the expectations of the community.

(b)  The proposed development does not meet the aims which are outlined in Clause 1.2(c) of the LEP 2009 as it would not provide a housing mix and density that would be compatible with the existing environmental character of the locality, and does not have a sympathetic and harmonious relationship with adjoining properties.

 

Density:

 

3.         The development application is recommended for refusal because the subject site does not meet the minimum site area required for 17 multi-dwelling units.

 

            Particulars:

 

(a)  Section 2.2(c) in Part C2 of LCDCP 2010 sets out the provision for density as follows:

·    “An average site area 250m2 per attached dwelling or multi-dwelling unit (including common areas) is required”.

(b)  The average site area of each townhouse is 217m2. The area is 33m2 below from the required minimum site area for multi-dwelling units.

(c)  The overall density of the proposed development is not considered to be consistent with the desired built form for the site.

 

Trees, Landscaping and Deep Soil:

 

4.         The development application is recommended for refusal because the subject site does not meet the minimum area requirements for landscaping and deep soil and  includes excessive tree removal. 

 

            Particulars:

 

(a)  Section 2.6 (b) in Part C2 of the LCDCP 2010 requires minimum of 35% (unencumbered deep soil) of the site is to be landscaped area with a minimum width of 3.0m. For attached dwellings, this refers to each allotment individually.

(b)  Section 1.6 in Part J of the LCDCP 2010 defines that 35% of the landscaped area to be deep soil.

(c)  Section 2.2.1 Tree Preservation Objective of the Part J LCDCP 2010 requires the retention of the maximum possible number of existing trees,

(d)  The application proposes the removal of 46 trees and is considered to have a detrimental environmental impact. The proposal does not provide adequate deep soil to accommodate replacement canopy trees at a 1:1 ratio.

 

Amenity:

 

5.     The proposed development does not achieve acceptable amenity in terms of building separation, solar access, and private open space.

 

       Particulars:

 

(a)  The proposed development does not comply with section Part C.2 section 2.9.2 Solar Access of LCDCP2010:

 

(i)         7 of the proposed town houses do not achieve 3 hours minimum solar access to habitable room windows or ground floor POS at mid-winter; and

(ii)        Windows to habitable rooms of the neighbouring property at No. 5 Austin Street do not receive 3 hours minimum solar access at mid-winter.

 

(b)  The proposal does not comply with Part C.2 section 2.9.3 (a) and (d) of LCDCP 2010. The majority of townhouses have less than 50m2 of private open space that is directly accessible from the living area. (i.e. rear yards off living room at ground floor).

(c)  The proposal does not comply with Part C.2 section 2.9.1(c) and (d) of the LCDCP 2010 relating to building separation. A number of townhouses do not achieve adequate separation distance between habitable rooms resulting in adverse visual and acoustic privacy impacts.

 

Building Design:

 

6.      The proposed retaining walls on the southern façade facing No. 5 Austin Crescent includes retaining walls adjacent to the boundary which are up to 2.6m higher than the boundary  fence line.

 

Accessibility:

 

7.   The proposed adaptable apartments do not comply.

 

      Particulars:

 

The three (3) proposed adaptable units (TH13, TH14 and TH15) do not have lift access to their primary outdoor private open space areas.

 

8.    The proposal fails to satisfy the following objectives of the R3 MDR zone:

 

·         Design in response to the characteristics of the site and locality;

·         Maximise residential amenity of medium density housing in the area;

·         Provide a suitable visual transition between high density housing and lower density residential areas;

·         Ensure landscaping is maintained and enhanced as a major element in the residential environment.

 

Panel Reasons:

 

The Panel supports the findings contained in the Assessment Report and resolves that the application be approved as per the recommendation contained in that report, subject to additional condition 8.

 

 

The decision of the Panel was unanimous.

8.         Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design: The following Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design requirements must be complied with:

 

(a)  The site will need to be clearly identified through a business name and street number and be visible from the street. This will enable all emergency services to locate the premises.

(b)  Appropriate signage should be erected inside and around the perimeter of the entire property to warn of security treatments in place e.g. “This site is under 24 hour video surveillance”.

(c)  Bicycle parking should be in a secure area and covered with CCTV cameras.

(d)  Mail boxes and parcel delivery areas should be secure and covered with CCTV cameras. If possible, a secure method for parcel delivery should be set up in the building.

(e)  If the site has storage cages they should be made of solid materials that can’t be cut open and covered by CCTV cameras. Signs should be placed in the area warning residents not to leave valuable items in storage cages.

(f)  Lighting in and around the proposed development should comply with Australian Standard AS: 1158 and should provide for adequate, uniform illumination. External lighting should be of a ‘white light’ source. Note that high or low pressure sodium ‘orange’ lighting is not compatible with quality surveillance systems. Internal lighting should be controlled from ‘Staff only’ areas, away from public access. If this is not possible, use tamper-resistant switches. Luminaries (light covers) should be designed to reduce opportunities for malicious damage.

(g)  Lighting within the site will need to be positioned in a way to reduce opportunities for offenders to commit crime i.e. vandalism and graffiti. The lighting will need to be sufficient to enable people to identify signs of intoxication and anti-social behavior. The lighting will also need to be sufficient to support images obtained from any CCTV footage. Please note that some low- or high-pressure lighting is not compatible with surveillance systems.

(h)  Doors should be of solid construction and should be fitted with quality deadlock sets that comply with the Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards – Lock Sets AS:4145.

(i)   Windows within the site should also be of solid construction. These windows should be fitted with quality window lock sets that comply with the Australian Standards – Lock Sets AS:4145. Glass within doors and windows should be reinforced to restrict unauthorised access. The glass can be either fitted with a shatter-resistant film or laminated to withstand physical attacks.

(j)   An electronic surveillance system should be included to provide maximum surveillance of all areas of the site including entry/exits, car parks, bicycle parking, mail areas and common areas. Cameras should also cover public footpath areas around the premises. The system should be capable of recording high-quality images of events. The recording equipment should be locked away to reduce the likelihood of tampering.

(k)  An emergency control and evacuation plan should be implemented within the site and displayed for the information of residents.

(l)   All recording made by the CCTV system must be stored for at least 30 days. Ensure that the system is accessible by at least one member of staff at all times it is in operation, and provide any recordings made by the system to a police officer or inspector within 24 hours of any request by a police officer or inspector. The CCTV cameras will need to be placed in suitable locations to enhance the physical security and assist in positively identifying an individual, who may be involved in criminal behavior.

(m) “Park Smarter” signage should be displayed in the car park to warn/educate motorists to secure their vehicles and not leave valuable items in their cars. The car park will also need to have adequate lighting.

(n)  Wheelchair access should at no time be blocked nor impede access to anyone with a disability.

(o)  The landscaping design around the site needs to be free from potential hiding places and provide sightlines throughout the site and into any surrounding areas such as car parks, playgrounds and recreational amenities. Trees and shrubs should be maintained regularly to reduce concealment opportunities and increase visibility. Avoid the use of landscaping materials which could, when mature, serve as screens or barriers to impede views.

(p)  The boundaries of the site should be clearly identified to deter unauthorised persons from entering the site.

LANDSCAPING CONDITIONS

 

GENERAL CONDITIONS

 

124.   Approved landscape plans and supporting documentation The approved landscaped plans require the following design amendments contained herein.

 

            Missing Items of the Landscape Development Checklist

The project Landscape Architect is to amend their drawings to include the required missing items from the Landscape Development Checklist (itemised below) and send back to Councils Landscape Architect for assessment prior to issue of Construction Certificate.

 

-     Proposed tree protection measures provided by the Level 5 Project Arborist and any mitigation measures to be undertaken within the Tree Protection Zone of any retained tree

-     Existing services and easements from the survey and shown on the landscape plan, Proposed services and Easements shall also be shown on the landscape plan

-     Landscape calculations: percentage of landscaped area and deep soil planting clearly delineated and shown as a percentage of the overall site size.

-     Tree incursions: Clearly indicate graphically where the root zone of existing trees to be retained may come into conflict with any part of the demolition of existing or installation of proposed buildings

-     Planting plan: with lawn areas, all new plantings, plant schedule showing species, container size and size at maturity oil types, soil additives and mulches to be used

-     Bulk Earthworks showing any possible conflicts with the roots of trees to be retained as well as any mitigation measures

-     Sections and elevations clearly showing the relationship of the proposed landscaping with the built form. A minimum of two sections east – west and north – south required.

-     Proposed plantings The proposed Tristaniopsis laurina to be planted in the front setback along Pacific Highway, are to be planted within a structural root cell system (stratacell or approved equivalent). The revised landscape documentation is to specify in detail the extent and depth of the root cell system and ensue that the appropriate soil volume is available for the healthy development of the trees specified for this area by Council.  The structural root cell is to extend from the back of kerb to the building footprint along the boundary and shall be backfilled with a native soil mix.

-     Wall heights The current proposal shows little detailed level information. The Landscape Architect is to amend their drawings to show accurate top of wall heights (TOW), bottom of wall heights (BOW), spot levels, Relative Level (RLS) and grades throughout the design.

 

It is noted that the Project Landscape Architect has already provided 2 sections in their drawing package, however, two additional sections traversing along Pacific Highway and Bellevue Avenue will be needed to assess the relationship between the built form and the landscape.

 

            Reason: To ensure all parties are aware of the approved plans/supporting  documentation that applies to the development, to ensure the ongoing sustainability and  canopy growth of proposed new trees. Further, to assess the practicality of the proposed  design and Council do not support unnecessary tree removal of community asset  trees as consistent with LCC DCP Part J.  

 

125.     Canopy Trees Canopy trees along the street setback areas shall be a minimum 4m above finished ground level at the time of planting and planted in a contiguous trench of structural root cell such as stratacell or an approved equivalent.

 

            Reason: To maintain the street and neighbourhood character.

 

126.     Automatic irrigation system An automatic drip irrigation system is to be designed and installed to all garden bed areas that will ensure the ongoing health of the planting scheme for the life of the development.

 

           Reason:  To ensure adequate moisture levels are maintained for the 12-month  establishment period eliminating the threat of plants dying due to lack of water during this  time of in times of future drought

 

127.     Raised planter boxes: All raised planter boxes shall be waterproofed by a licensed  professional in accordance with AS4654.1-2012 Waterproofing membranes for external above-ground use.
