DETERMINATION

 

That pursuant to Section 4.16(b) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 the Lane Cove Local Planning Panel, at its meeting of 9 April 2025, exercising the functions of Council as the consent authority, refuse Development Application DA21/2025 for the installation of a passenger lift to service the dwelling house, at 88 Carlotta Street, Greenwich for the following reasons:

 

1.     The Panel formed the view that a clause 4.6 request was required for the variation of the FSR standard, notwithstanding that the existing building exceeds the FSR standard, and the proposal may result in a minor reduction of floor area.

 

2.     The Panel notes that plans depicting the floor area calculations were not submitted with the application.

 

3.     The Panel visited the site and observed the totality of views available in the locality.  The Panel formed the opinion that the potential view loss was minor and was not unreasonable.

 

 

 

 

The decision of the Panel was unanimous

 

The meeting closed at 5.30pm
