Issue - decisions

The Panel deferred consideration of Development Application No. D/2021/865 until a subsequent meeting of the Local Planning Panel, to enable the applicant to submit a revised Clause 4.6 Variation Request which addresses the requirements of clause 4.6 and explains the consideration given to the ultimate height of the central pavilion of Dwelling 2 and what options were considered.

Reasons for Decision

The Panel considered the submitted written Clause 4.6 Variation Request did not adequately address the requirements of clause 4.6 so as to justify the departure from development standards, in particular regarding the height of Dwelling 2, and enable consent to be granted pursuant to clause 4.6(2). In particular, the Panel was not satisfied that the written request had adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by clause 4.6(3)(a) and (b) in respect of the height of the central pavilion of Dwelling 2 by demonstrating that compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case, and that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify the contravention in respect of that aspect of the development, rather than the development as a whole.

Carried unanimously.

D/2021/865
