Decision details

The Panel refused consent for Development Application No. D/2018/335.

Reasons for Decision

The Panel refused the application for the following reasons:

(A)      The proposal does not comply with the provisions of Clause 4.3 - Height of Buildings within Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012, and does not satisfy the criteria within Clause 4.6 justifying the proposed variation to the height development standard;

(B)      The proposal results in unacceptable view loss impacts to surrounding residential properties, as prescribed in 4.3 (1)(c) of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 and part 4.2.3.10 of Sydney Development Control Plan 2012.

(C)      The proposal does not comply with the provisions of Clause 6.21 - Design Excellence as the proposal is not considered to be appropriate to the building location and has a detrimental impact on view corridors.

(D)      The proposal is inconsistent with the Height of Buildings control and as such is not in the public interest, pursuant to Clause 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Carried unanimously.
