Decision details

The Panel:

(A)        Pursuant to the provisions of Clause 4.6 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012, supported the variation to the provision of motorcycle parking contained in State Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009.

(B)        Granted consent to Development Application No. D/2018/132 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)        The proposal is consistent with the objectives of the B2 - Local Centre zone and the relevant development controls for the site.

(B)        The non-compliance with the motorcycle parking development standard is offset by the site's close proximity to public transport nodes.

(C)       The proposal is otherwise largely compliant with the controls in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009.

(D)       Subject to compliance with the recommended conditions, the proposed boarding house will provide acceptable amenity for occupants that will result in an improved active frontage to the streetscape.

(D)       The approval is not anticipated to result in any significant impacts on the surrounding land uses.
