20/11/2019 - Development Application: 45-47 Crown Street, Woolloomooloo - D/2019/832
The Panel refused consent for Development Application No. D/2019/832 for
the following reasons, subject to the following amendment (deletions shown in
strikethrough):
(A) Insufficient
justification has been provided to support the variation to exceed the Clause
4.4 Floor Space Ratio development standard in accordance with Clause 4.6 of Sydney
LEP 2012. The proposed development is considered incongruous to its setting and
offers a poor level of amenity to its occupants, therefore not achieving
better development outcomes.
(B) The
proposal results in excessive height, bulk and scale and fails to comply with
the height in storeys provision in Section 4.2.1 of Sydney DCP 2012.
(C) The
proposal results in unsympathetic alterations and additions to contributory
buildings within the Woolloomooloo Conservation Area (CA71), resulting in a
significant overdevelopment of the site and poor streetscape outcome. The
proposal is therefore inconsistent with the requirements of Clause 5.10 of the
Sydney LEP 2012 and Section 3.9 of the Sydney DCP 2012.
(D) The
proposal results in an unacceptable level of amenity for existing and proposed
dwellings and does not satisfy the principles and provisions of SEPP 65 Design
Quality of Residential Apartment Development and the Apartment Design Guideline
with regard to common open space, private open space, solar access and natural
cross ventilation.
(E) The
proposal is non-compliant with the amenity provisions outlined in Section 4.2.3
of the Sydney DCP 2012 with regard to solar access, common and private open
space.
(F) The
proposal does not represent design excellence in accordance with Clause 6.21 of
the Sydney LEP 2012.
(G) The
proposal is not in keeping with the existing or desired character of the area
and is not in the public interest.
Carried
unanimously.
