Introduction

The subject application was considered at the Randwick Development Assessment Panel (RDAP) meeting on 12 April 2018. At the meeting, it was resolved that the application be deferred to enable the applicant to address the following reasons for deferral:

“The Panel has visited the site, considered the submissions and reviewed the assessment report prepared by Council officers that addresses the relevant matters detailed in Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, as amended.

The Panel considers that the emerging character in the immediate part of Chester Avenue is one with an 8m external wall height and a setback upper level (for example, 47 Chester Avenue).

Whilst the Panel does not in principle object to the breach in the building height control, the upper floor level should be redesigned to ensure that the development is in keeping with the character in the immediate area and to reduce the overshadowing impacts on units 2 and 3 of 53 Chester Avenue. Preferably units 9 and 10 should be combined to provide a 2 bedroom unit to improve the diversity of unit mix.

Furthermore, deep soil planting calculations should be checked and the potential to reduce the floor plate of the basement carpark to accommodate additional deep soil planting along the southern boundary considered.

Determination of the application is, therefore, deferred for the applicant to provide further information on the above matters within 3 weeks.”

Key Issues

The applicant submitted the amended plans and revised shadow diagrams on 2 May 2018 in response to Panel’s resolution. In summary, the following amendments have been made:

· Units 9 and 10 on Level 2 have been combined into a single 2 bedroom unit (now known as Unit 9). In addition, part of the western wall and southern wall of the new Unit 9 have been increased by 1,190mm and 1,085mm respectively.

· Provision of permeable paving to the front entry path.

Apart from the changes to the setbacks, the amended proposal will result in a reduction of the total number of dwellings from 11 to 10 and also reduces the total gross floor area by 2.85sqm.

In addition to the above, the applicant has provided additional justification in response to the solar access and deep soil area calculation, which is provided under separate cover.

Solar Access

In terms of solar access, the amended proposal with additional setbacks from the front and southern boundaries will result in minor improvement to solar access to the southern neighbours. The revised shadow diagrams appear to show that the extent of shadowing to the southern neighbours would be similar to a building having 8m wall height and 2.5m side setback.

Deep Soil

The applicant has indicated that the proposal provides a total deep soil area of 173.77sqm, which equates to 27.1% of the site area. The proposed permeable paving to the front entry path is approximately 8.4sqm, which represents 4.8% of the total deep soil area and is within the 10% threshold allowable under Part 3E of the Apartment Design Guide. Notwithstanding, if the proposed permeable paving is excluded from the deep soil area calculation, the proposal would still provide 165.37sqm of deep soil area, which equates to 25.8% of the site area and complies with the DCP control.

Relationship to City Plan

The relationship with the City Plan is as follows:

Outcome 4: Excellence in urban design and development.

Direction 4a: Improved design and sustainability across all development.

Financial impact statement

There is no direct financial impact for this matter.

Conclusion

The applicant has provided the amended plans in response to the Panel’s resolution and the application is recommended for approval subject to conditions listed below.

Recommendation

A. That the RDAP supports the exceptions to development standards under Clause 4.6 of Randwick Local Environmental Plan 2012 in respect to non-compliance with Clause 4.3 of Randwick Local Environmental Plan 2012, relating to the height of buildings, on the grounds that the proposed development complies with the objectives of the above clauses, and will not adversely affect the amenity of the locality, and that the Department of Planning & Environment be advised accordingly.

B. That the RDAP grants development consent under Sections 4.16 and 4.17 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, as amended, to Development Application No. 329/2017 for the demolition of existing structures and construction of a 3 storey residential flat building containing 10 dwellings with basement parking for 11 cars at No. 51 Chester Avenue, Maroubra, subject to the following development consent conditions:

NOTES:

· Infiltration will not be appropriate if the site is subject to rock and/or a water table within 2 metres of the base of the proposed infiltration area, or the ground conditions comprise low permeability soils such as clay.

· If the owner/applicant is able to demonstrate to Council that he/she has been unable to procure a private drainage easement through adjoining premises and the ground conditions preclude the use of an infiltration system, a pump-out system may be permitted to drain the portion of the site that cannot be discharged by gravity to Council’s street drainage system in front of the property.

Pump-out systems must be designed by a suitably qualified and experienced hydraulic consultant/engineer in accordance with the conditions of this consent and Council's Private Stormwater Code.
