The applicant is also considered to have demonstrated that proposed variation to minimum lot size for Lot 3019 is in the public interest as the development would be consistent with the objectives of the development standard and the objectives of the zone. \r\n\r\nIt should be noted that the subject site is the only allotment in the immediate locality that has not been subdivided for suburban residential allotments. Accordingly, there is considered to be limited scope for all of the proposed lots onsite to reach full compliance with the minimum lot size requirements where subdivision lot patterns have been dictated by surrounding sites. This is considered to be the case for proposed lot 3019.\r\n\r\nWhile the overall proposed subdivision arrangement could be amended to include less lots with larger areas in order to resolve the minimum lot size variation on Lot 3019, it should be noted that the application is also required to comply with Clause 7.11 – Minimum Dwelling Density of the LLEP 2008. Thus, reducing the overall number of lots to ameliorate the 3.5% variation to the 450m2 minimum lot size is likely to compromise the development’s ability to achieve its density target. As the minimum lot size variation on Lot 3019 is less than 5%, in this case, the variation to minimum lot size is considered to be less significant than achieving the minimum dwelling densities envisaged for this locality where the subdivision pattern is constrained.\r\n\r\nAs such, the 16m2 variation to proposed Lot 3019 is considered acceptable in the context of the sites constraints and the adjoining subdivisions, and therefore strict compliance is considered unnecessary in this case.\r\n","16sqm","Council under assumed concurrence"]

The proposed development has been designed to provide a zero-setback to the northern boundary in order to marry up to this blank wall and cover it from view. \r\n•\tMarrying up to the existing blank wall is considered to provide a consistent built form presentation to Northumberland Street and create a defined street edge. This is considered to be consistent with the desired character of a high density residential environment. \r\n•\tThe ADG provides that, “Consider zero side setbacks where the desired character is for a continuous street wall, such as in dense urban areas, main streets or for podiums within centres.” \r\n•\tDue to the location of the zero side setback, being on the northern site boundary and in the front portion of the site, it is not considered that this component of the building would increase over shadowing within the site and to adjoining sites/buildings.\r\n•\tAs the proposal seeks to connect to an existing blank wall on the adjoining northern site, there is not considered to be any increased potential for visual privacy impacts to occur. In accordance with 3F – Visual Privacy of the ADG, the apartments located on the zero side setback will have sufficient separation between habitable spaces both to the neighbouring site and internally. \r\n•\tCouncil’s DEP have reviewed the design on two separate occasions and supported the building being built to the northern side boundary to connect to an adjoining building. \r\n",1,"Council under assumed concurrence"]

In this regard, the applicant has inferred that a 9m lot width is more indicative of the state government’s vision for the growth of housing in the Sydney region than the provisions of Clause 7.13, which were gazetted in 2008. The applicant has argued that this clause is now out of date and that the Austral and Leppington DCP, created in 2013, is more indicative of the intended lot design for new release areas in Sydney’s south west.\r\nFurthermore, in accordance with the development controls for the creating residential lots in the south west growth centre area any proposal that would seek to vary a minimum dimension or area requirement needs to demonstrate that a sufficient dwelling can be accommodated on the lots created. Accordingly, in support of their variation to the 10m lot width the applicant has provided detailed BEP’s for each varied lot. The BEP’s provide both single and double storey building footprints that are compliant with the setback provisions, they also denote private open space areas within the rear setback areas that are compliant with size and solar requirements and indicate single garages on each of the lots to ensure future garage designs will meets the desired streetscape provisions. In addition to this, the BEP’s provide location of easements for maintenance to ensure appropriate future occupant amenity.  \r\nConsidering that the minimum lot width provisions were formulated in 2008 and that the applicant has demonstrated that the development of the site with the variations included is more characteristic of current residential subdivisions in greenfield areas compliance with Clause 7.13 is considered unnecessary in these circumstances. In addition to this the applicant has demonstrated that the relevant development controls associated with detached housing forms in Edmondson Park will be ensured by the submitted BEP’s and thus compliance with the development standard is unnecessary in this circumstance.\r\nIt should be noted that the subject site is located within a 21 dwellings per hectare density band as per the LLEP 2008. This site is the only place within Edmondson Park where this density band occurs, with the typical detached housing band being 17 and 14 dwellings per hectare. Accordingly, it could be argued that in order to achieve the higher dwelling target imposed upon this site while seeking subdivision to accommodate detached housing, reductions in the typical lot design may be required. \r\nAs it can be demonstrated that the proposed variations are consistent with recent approaches to greenfield subdivisions and any negative built form impacts of that variation can be managed through BEP’s there is considered to be sufficient environmental justification to vary the minimum lot width requirements is this case. \r\n","994mm","Council under assumed concurrence"]
