13/06/2018 - Development Application: 145 Young Street, Redfern

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/2018/236 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 R1 - General Residential zone in that the proposed alterations and additions improve the functionality and liveability of the single dwelling without adverse impacts to the existing bulk and scale;

(B)        The submitted Clause 4.6 variation is supported as the proposed exceedance of the FSR development standard relates to an additional 3.1m2 of gross floor area arising from the extension of the lower ground floor level dining room. The variation proposed is minor and does not contribute to bulk or scale. Subject to the deletion of the light and ventilation shaft the proposal will be consistent with the objectives and standards of the planning controls for the site, and will not result in any adverse environmental or heritage impacts.
