That Council in accordance with the provisions of the City of Vincent Local Planning Scheme No. 2 and the Metropolitan Region Scheme REFUSES the development application for Alterations and Additions to Existing Multiple Dwellings (Removal of Landscaping to Include Car Bay) at No. 498 (Lot 29; D/P 2355) Fitzgerald Street, North Perth for the following reasons:

1.       The proposal will not allow for the use of the car parking bay to be contained wholly within the zoned portion of the subject site, in that its use will encroach upon the future Fitzgerald Street Other Regional road reservation and may obstruct pedestrian movement;

2.       The proposed amount of hardstand in the front setback area does not meet the Design Principles of Clause 6.3.2 of State Planning Policy No. 3.1 Residential Design Codes or the Local Housing Objectives of Clause 4.10 of the City’s Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form as the increase in hardstand does not positively contribute to the streetscape and does not contribute to the appearance and amenity of the development; and

3.       The proposed landscaping does not meet the Design Principles of Clause 4.10 of the City’s Built Form Policy as the landscaping has not been designed to reduce the impact of development on adjoining public spaces.

Council Decision Item 9.4

Moved: Cr Gontaszewski, Seconded: Cr Murphy

Recommendation:

That Council in accordance with the provisions of the City of Vincent Local Planning Scheme No. 2 and the Metropolitan Region Scheme REFUSES the development application for Alterations and Additions to Existing Multiple Dwellings (Removal of Landscaping to Include Car Bay) at No. 498 (Lot 29; D/P 2355) Fitzgerald Street, North Perth for the following reasons:

1.       The proposal will not allow for the use of the car parking bay to be contained wholly within the zoned portion of the subject site, in that its use will encroach upon the future Fitzgerald Street Other Regional road reservation and may obstruct pedestrian movement;

2.       The proposed amount of hardstand in the front setback area does not meet the Design Principles of Clause 6.3.2 of State Planning Policy No. 3.1 Residential Design Codes or the Local Housing Objectives of Clause 4.10 of the City’s Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form as the increase in hardstand does not positively contribute to the streetscape and does not contribute to the appearance and amenity of the development; and

3.       The proposed landscaping does not meet the Design Principles of Clause 4.10 of the City’s Built Form Policy as the landscaping has not been designed to reduce the impact of development on adjoining public spaces.

4.       In the context of the landscaping and visual amenity impacts of the proposal and the existing provision of 14 car bays onsite, the applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the need for an additional car parking bay on site.

1.       The proposed height does not meet the Design Principles of Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form as the building has not been designed to minimise amenity impacts on the adjoining properties and does not positively contribute to the neighbourhood context of the locality;

2.       The proposed lot boundary setbacks do not meet the Design Principles of Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form as the building mass and form has not been designed to reduce the impact of building bulk on the adjoining properties and the proposed setbacks do not facilitate the provision of landscaping;

3.       The proposed landscaping does not meet the Design Principles of Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form as the landscaping has not been designed to increase landscaping amenity for occupants and the community; and

4.       Having due consideration of subclauses 67(m) and (n) of Schedule 2 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, the proposed development is not considered compatible with its setting due to the likely effect of the height, bulk, scale and appearance of the development on the character of the locality.

5.       The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated the acceptability of the proposal with regards to noise impacts.
