Decision details

The Panel:

(A)      Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.6 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012, supported the variation to Clause 4.4 Floor Space Ratio contained in the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012.

(B)      Granted consent to Development Application No. D/2018/210 subject to the conditions set out in Attachment A to the subject report.

Carried unanimously.

Reasons for Decision

The Panel approved the application as:

(A)      It is consistent with the objectives of the B4 Mixed Use zone in that the proposal will continue to provide a mixture of compatible land uses in the locality by integrating office, retail and residential development in an accessible location, whilst supporting the viability of the centre. 

(B)      The submitted Clause 4.6 variation is supported as the proposed exceedance of the FSR development standard relates only to an additional 53.58sqm of gross floor area arising from the proposed new mezzanine level within an existing tenancy. The variation proposed is minor and is contained wholly within the existing building and therefore does not contribute to any additional bulk or scale.

(C)      The works are minor and will, subject to conditions, not result in any adverse environmental or heritage impacts.
