SIDE SETBACKS
STREET SCAPE AND VISUAL IMPACT
New development should be visually compatible with its
streetscape context. It should contain or at least
respond to essential elements that make up the
character of the surrounding area.
When replacing existing windows, the style is to
complement the style and proportions of the existing
dwelling when viewed from the street.
Contemporary alterations and additions should include
windows characteristic of the style of the addition.
Development must not dominate or erode the character
of the streetscape, particularly when viewed from a
public place such as parks, reserves, beach or the ocean.
New development as well as alterations and additions to
existing dwellings are to maintain the established
character of the building in terms of significant
landscaping. Existing ground levels and significant
landscaping is to be maintained
Existing verandahs and balconies fronting the street are
not to be enclosed.
Porticos above a fence or entrance way are to minimise
bulk, and are only appropriate where it can be
demonstrated that they are consistent with the existing
street character.
SOLAR ACCESS
Development isto be designed so as to provide for a
minimum of 3 hours direct sunlight to at least 50% of
the proposed living areas and principal private open
space areas, when measured between 9am and 3pm during
winter solstice (June 21).
Development is not to reduce the amount of direct
sunlight to at least 50% of the principal private open
space of adjoining properties to less than 3 hours when
measured between 9am and 3pm during winter solstice
(June 21).
Despite controls (a) & (b) above, where a development
does not comply with a development standard and causes
a reduction in direct sunlight to adjoining properties, any
reduction may be considered unacceptable.
If the provision of direct sunlight is already below 3
hours (as per above), any reduction may be unacceptable.

VIEWS
Existing views and vistas available from the public
domain, including but not limited to ocean, harbour, beach,
city and parks views are to be maintained where possible
by the design of buildings.
Existing views of landmark or iconic features from the
public domain (such as Sydney Harbour, Opera House,
Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach) are to be maintained and
where possible, enhanced. In some circumstances,
complying with maximum development controls may not be
achievable if an iconic view is impeded
Lower density residential accommodation is to be
designed and sited so as to enable a sharing of views
with surrounding dwellings particularly from habitable
rooms and decks
Where views are enjoyed by a neighbouring property

and vegetation is to be used in combination to minimise
any impacts to an acceptable level.
Where an elevated deck or balcony is proposed it should
have a maximum area of 10m² and a maximum depth of
1.5m. Where a larger area is proposed then greater
consideration must be given to the following:
(i) Compliance with the building height development
standard;
(ii) Compliance with setback controls;
(iii) Efforts to mitigate visual and acoustic privacy
impacts including the use of permanent screening devices,
increased setbacks, and retention of existing vegetation;

metal decks) and unenclosed elevated side passages.
(iii) Incorporate all sewerage, water pipes, ducting,
cables, fans, vents and other utilities within the building
envelope;
(iv) Plumbing for each dwelling is to be contained using
appropriate noise resistant wall, ceiling and floor

5.2 SECTION 4.15 (1)(B) OTHER IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT
This section assesses the impact of the proposal in relation to the following issues, as required under Section 4.15
(1)(b) of the EP & A Act.
RESPONSE:
It is considered that the proposed works will have minimal environmental impact onto the natural and built environment
of the subject site and its surrounding neighbouring properties. The proposal is for the proposed alterations &
additions of the existing dwelling to add an upper level. The proposal design respect the scale and aesthetics of its
context, complementing the architectural style of the existing dwelling house.
During construction, noise and building impacts will be minimised through observance of the requirements of the
Environmental Protection Authority and Local Authorities. All noise emissions will comply with Australian Standards.
As such the proposed development poses minimal detrimental impacts on both the natural and built environments.
PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT OPERATIONS ACT 1997
NOTE: All works to the building will be limited to the hours listed below and enforced regulations. Construction site
operators, owner-builders and public authority developments must comply with noise-restriction regulations under the
Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997. Some are regulated by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA)
(mostly public authority works) and others (local development) by council.
Premises conducting scheduled activities must hold an environment protection licence through which the EPA applies
appropriate noise control conditions. Councils can also control noise through conditions determined by them as part of
development consent, issued under the planning legislation. Guidance on acceptable levels of noise from construction
activities is provided in the NSW Interim Construction Noise Guideline.
The NSW Interim Construction Noise Guideline includes recommended standard hours. However, they are not mandatory
and more or less stringent construction hours may be approved by the local council depending on the situation.
