Prior to making a decision on the application, adjoining affected owners and occupiers have been invited to view the development plans and elevations, and make comment on the planning matters that affect their property.
Matters that we would like you to consider
We ask that you consider the following matter(s) and let us know whether you object to or support the development proposal.
- Visual Privacy
The proposed dwelling includes a window facing your property. As per city regulations, all major openings above 0.5m must comply with the required cone of vision from habitable areas, which should generally be contained within the property. In this proposal, the window is setback with a cone of vision of 5.6m instead of the required 6m, and no screening device is included.
The proposed reduced setback may be considered by the City with regard to the following design principles of clause 5.4.1 P1.1 of the R-Codes.
“Minimal direct overlooking of active habitable spaces and outdoor living areas of adjacent dwellings achieved through:
- building layout and location;
- design of major openings;
