Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 2 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This development application seeks approval for alterations and additions to a dwelling including a first floor rear addition, and is reported to NSIPP for determination due to variation to Council’s controls relating to building height. The proposed building height of 6.2m exceeds the maximum height control of 5.5m for small lots by 13%. The extent of the breach will be greatest in the area of the rear roof plane; however, the majority of the rear addition will be 5.6m in height, which is considered to be a relatively minor variation of the development standard. The first floor addition will be wholly contained within the existing building footprint and comply with the minimum setback provisions in the DCP. Owner’s consent from the adjoining property at No.29 Emmett Street has been provided, consent to works affecting the common party wall. The dwelling will maintain a single-storey presentation to Emmett Street and will not have any adverse impacts on the streetscape or the conservation area. The bulk and scale of the rear addition has been minimised by means of a contemporary roof design that steps down from and behind the existing main roof. The works will not result in any material impacts on surrounding development. Adjoining dwellings will maintain adequate solar access to main living areas, and sufficient setbacks have been provided for the new openings on first floor level. Council’s notification of the proposal has attracted two submissions raising particular concerns about building height and character, privacy, solar access and notification documentation. The assessment has considered these concerns as well as the performance of the application against Council’s planning requirements. Substantiated issues may be addressed by way of conditions. Following this assessment the development application is considered to be reasonable in the circumstances and is recommended for approval subject to conditions.

RELEVANT HISTORY Previous DAs Approval was granted for DA1505/95 on 11/12/95 for alterations and additions to a dwelling, including a rear ground floor extension. DA rejected DA373/13 for alterations and additions to a dwelling was lodged on 24/10/13 and rejected by Council on 31/10/13 for lack of owners consent from No.29 Emmett Street in relation to works to a party wall and shared roof elements. The subject DA is generally the same as the rejected DA; however, the current DA includes relevant owner’s consent. Subject DA On 29/11/13 Council requested amendments to the proposed side dormer in order to reduce heritage impacts, and additional information relating to privacy, shadows, energy efficiency, and boundary wall treatment.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 6 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
During December and January, various dormer designs were provided to Council for comment, prior to formal relodgement of documentation on 21/1/14 & 10/2/14. REFERRALS Building The proposal would have to comply with the Building Code of Australia. A condition can be imposed to ensure compliance with the BCA. Council’s Senior Building Surveyor has advised that the proposed operable skylights for the attic/study comply with the BCA requirements for light and ventilation, and that the garden pond will not require fencing under current regulations. Engineering The proposal was referred to Council’s Development Engineer who has recommended standard conditions of consent. Landscape The proposal was discussed with Council’s Landscape Development Officer who advised the landscape plan is satisfactory, and recommended standard conditions to protect street trees. Heritage The application was referred to Council’s Conservation Planner who has identified the property as a contributory item, being a good example of Late Victorian Filigree style residence, within the Holtermann Estate C Conservation Area. The dwelling remains largely intact at the front but has been modified at the rear. The property is within a group of almost identical semi-detached dwellings at No's. 27 to 37 Emmett Street built by the same builder. No’s. 42 to 48 Emmett Street opposite are similar, but have earlier style sandstone rather than rendered sills, and chimneys to the sides of the house, rather than centrally located. An assessment of the proposed works has been undertaken in terms of clause 5.10 (Heritage Conservation) of NSLEP 2013 and section B13 (Heritage and Conservation) of NSDCP 2013, and advice provided as follows:
Preliminary advice
A preliminary assessment of the proposal, as originally submitted, was undertaken on 21/11/13, and the following comments were made:
The majority of the first floor addition has generally been located below and behind the original roof form, in order to limit its visibility, and the addition is generally acceptable. However, the part of the addition that is attached to the side of the original roof is not supported in its current form. This part of the addition would be visible from the street, and would be an uncharacteristic element in the streetscape.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 7 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
It is requested that the applicant consider a traditional dormer in this location, instead of the proposed eyelid roof form, in order to reduce the heritage impact of the proposal. The dormer would also assist in blocking views of the new contemporary roof form from the street, further reducing the heritage impact of the proposal.
Amended design
In response to these and other planning comments, a number of changes were made to the design of the roof form, in order to retain more of the original roof and limit visibility from the street. The following heritage comments were provided on the amended plans received on 21/1/14:
The amended design generally addresses the concerns raised in relation to the heritage impact of the original proposal. The eyelid dormer has been replaced by a traditional dormer, located to the rear of the original roof. The original roof form is retained largely intact. The new dormer also assists in blocking views of the highly contemporary rear roof form from the street. The proposal, as amended, is considered acceptable on heritage grounds, as the addition is located behind and below the existing ridge line, and has limited visibility from, or impact on the streetscape. The contemporary form of the addition is acceptable as it clearly distinguishes the new work and has been amended to ensure it is not highly visible from the street.
Conclusion and recommendations
The Conservation Planner concluded that the proposal will have a limited impact on the character and significance of the Holtermann Estate Conservation Area, and accordingly, no objections are raised to the proposal on heritage grounds. In particular:
No objections are raised to the internal works as these will not impact on the contribution of the building to the conservation area. The proposed addition is generally located at the rear of the contributory item, and has limited impact on its original, significant form. The addition has largely been located behind and below the original roof. Although highly contemporary in form, the addition has been amended, through the introduction of a traditional dormer, to ensure limited visibility from the street. The proposal to replace the existing window to the significant front elevation with French doors is acceptable in this situation, as the French doors have been traditionally detailed and are largely hidden from view by the high front fence. Accordingly, no objections to the proposal are raised on heritage grounds, as the development would not have a detrimental impact on the Conservation Area.
Standard and site-specific conditions are recommended.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 8 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
SUBMISSIONS The owners of adjoining properties and the Hayberry Precinct were notified of the proposed development for a 14-day period, between 15 & 29 November 2013 in accordance with section 4 of NSDCP 2013. The notification resulted in two (2) submissions, which are summarised below. The amended drawings received in 2014 were not re-notified, in accordance with section A4.5 of the DCP. The amendments were considered to have the same, comparable or lesser impacts, on adjoining developments as the original (advertised) scheme, particularly in respect of bulk and scale, overshadowing and privacy. Basis of Submissions • In the event that there is someone standing at the back window they would be able to see directly
into our garden and the living area at the back of our home. Despite the fact that the diagram seems to indicate that a person of 160cm would not be able to see out the window this is unrealistic given that the average height of an Australian male is currently over 175cm. We request the height of the window be raised to above 200cm; alternatively, the plans be amended to skylights rather than windows.
• Development does not comply with the height restrictions. • The sun is completely gone from the top half of the windows on the east side of our home by
12pm; existing mould and damp due the limited available sunlight for several months of the year • Privacy: unable to determine sill height of WD.09 [master bedroom], glass type and sightlines to
our property; the skylights are not dimensioned and should be of a height that will not allow viewing back into our property; the windows WD.4, 5 & 6 to the lower storey of the stair well is requested to be obscure glass and/or include permanent external privacy screens
• Whether the contemporary upper level is sympathetic to the character of the building and area • Notification plan is unclear about the building envelope, including RLs and the [building height]
plane is not dimensioned
CONSIDERATION The relevant matters for consideration under section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, are assessed under the following headings: NORTH SYDNEY LEP 2013 1. Permissibility within the zone The site is identified under the LEP as being included within the R2 Low Density Residential zone. The proposal for the purpose of a dwelling house is permissible in the zone. Demolition is permissible with consent, pursuant to clause 2.7 of the Plan.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 9 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
2. Residential Zone Objectives It is considered that the development satisfies the specific aims of the plan and the objectives of the R2 Low Density Residential zone contained in clause 2.8 of NSLEP 2001. In particular, the development will provide for a high level of amenity while maintaining a low density residential environment, as discussed in this report. 3. LEP 2013 Compliance The application has been assessed against the principal development standards controls in NSLEP 2013 as indicated in the following compliance table. More detailed comments with regard to non-compliances are provided later in this report.
STATUTORY CONTROL – North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013 Site Area – 214.2m² Existing Proposed Control Complies Principal development standards Minimum subdivision lot size (Cl.4.1) 214.2m² No change 230m² Yes (No
change) Height of buildings (Cl.4.3) (max)
• Cl.4.3(2A) street elevation in R2 zone 6.2m 6.2m (side dormer*)
5.5m No • Cl.4.3(2B) lots <
230m2 6.2m 6.2m (rear addition)
FSR (Cll.4.4 & 20) - - None specified N/A * comprising part of true street elevation
4. Height of building The existing and proposed building height of 6.2m exceeds the building height limit of 5.5m provided for in NSLEP 2013, being a variation of 12.7%. The breach of clause 4.3(2A) pertaining to street elevation height is attributable to the new side dormer which forms part of the street elevation as drawn in true elevation. The breach of clause 4.3(2B) pertaining to small lots is attributable to the rear first floor addition. The applicant has submitted a written request seeking to vary the development standard, pursuant to clause 4.6 of NSLEP 2013. The proposed variation has been assessed against the requirements of clause 4.6 and the objectives of the control, as discussed below:
(a) To promote development that conforms to and reflects natural landforms, by stepping development on sloping land to follow the natural gradient. The development conforms to the generally flat topography of the site.
(b) To promote the retention and, if appropriate, sharing of existing views. There are no views of any significance identified that may be affected by the development.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 10 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
(c) To maintain solar access to existing dwellings, public reserves and streets, and to promote solar access for future development. The development will not result in any material shadow impacts on the east-adjoining dwelling at No.27 Emmett Street. Some minor additional shadowing will occur from noon on 21 June on the adjoining rear yard; however, most shadows will fall on building structure or within existing shadow fall. The development will, however, result in the loss of midwinter morning light from the main living area windows of No.25 Emmett Street (Figure 6).
Figure 6 – Proposed midwinter morning shadows at 9am on No.25 Emmett Street
In midwinter, the affected windows have access to direct sunlight only in the morning and are generally in shadow in the afternoon. Nevertheless, the proposed shadow impacts are not assessed to be material and it is considered that a reasonable level of solar amenity will be maintained to the adjoining dwelling despite the height variation, on the balance of the following considerations: • Solar access to the rear open plan living area is obtained predominantly
from the primary orientation of this space to the rear yard, via full width bi-fold glazed doors, a large clerestory window and skylight (Figure 7), with the side windows providing secondary light access;
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 11 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
Figure 7 - Glazed doors, clerestory window, and skylight provide
primary solar access to No.25 Emmett Street
• The affected openings are windows adjacent a side boundary at ground level within a closely built context, for which there is a lower expectation of maintaining solar access; and
• The shadow impacts are largely attributable to that part of the rear addition that exceeds the height limit by 0.1m, and a height compliant scheme would have similar impact.
(d) To maintain privacy for residents of existing dwellings and to promote privacy
for residents of new buildings. The development will not give rise to any adverse visual or acoustic privacy impacts by virtue of any breach of the height control, noting that the proposed first floor window openings are within the height limit. Privacy is discussed in the DCP Compliance Table in this report.
(e) To ensure compatibility between development, particularly at zone boundaries. The proposal is compatible with the surrounding residential area and will not result in any material amenity impacts on adjoining development, as discussed in this report.
(f) To encourage an appropriate scale and density of development that is in accordance with, and promotes the character of, an area. The first floor addition will be within the existing building footprint, generally contained within a roof form that is set back from the main and side roof planes and stepped down at the rear to 5.6m, being a minor 0.1m breach of the height limit (Figure 8).
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 12 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
Figure 8 – Section showing extent of the height variation
The scale of the proposed addition is comparable to a number of recently approved first floor additions in the street, including at No.52 Emmett Street (DA366/13) and No.56 Emmett Street (DA201/13), noting however that the latter has a side laneway frontage (Figures 9 & 10).
Figure 9 – Approved rear addition
at No.52 Emmett Street Figure 10 – Approved rear addition at No.56 Emmett Street (side
elevation to Bernard Lane)
The character of the streetscape and conservation area will be maintained as the contemporary addition will be located at the rear, partially obscured from the street by the new dormer positioned in a manner that would allow for retention of the side roof plane, with an adequate setback from the front roof plane so as to have minimal impacts on the dwelling at street elevation, and with a comparable view line to the first floor addition at No.33 Emmett Street (Figure 11).
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 13 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
Figure 11 –Sightlines from the street to the new additions, comparable to No.33 Emmett St On the balance of the above, it is considered that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravention of the development standard. A better outcome would be achieved for the development by allowing flexible application of the control, particularly in terms of floor to ceiling heights on the first floor, without any material impacts on adjoining properties. The objectives of the height control would be achieved despite the variation and it would be unreasonable to require compliance in the circumstances of the case. 5. Heritage conservation As discussed in the Heritage Referral section in this report, Council’s Conservation Planner has advised the development is satisfactory in terms of clause 5.10 Heritage Conservation of NSLEP 2013. The environmental heritage and significance of the Holtermann Estate C Conservation Area will be conserved, subject to conditions. 6. Earthworks Clause 6.10 of NSLEP 2013 seeks to ensure that earthworks will not have any detrimental impact on environmental functions and processes, neighbouring uses, cultural or heritage items or features of the surrounding land. The development will generally maintain existing ground levels and not involve any earthworks that would likely disrupt drainage patterns or soil stability, or have any adverse impacts on the amenity of adjoining properties.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 14 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
SEPP 55 and Contaminated Land Management Issues The provisions of SEPP 55 require Council to consider the likelihood that the site has previously been contaminated and to address the methods necessary to remediate the site. Given the residential history of the site, it is unlikely to be any issues of soil contamination that would require remediation. SREP (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005 The site falls within the Sydney Harbour Catchment Area and is subject to the provisions of the Policy. Clause 25 of the SREP outlines matters to be taken into consideration in relation to the maintenance, protection and enhancement of the scenic quality of foreshores and waterways. The development is not visible from the Harbour, and will thus not have any detrimental impact on the character or scenic quality of foreshores and waterways. NORTH SYDNEY DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 The proposal is generally consistent with section B1 of the DCP relating to residential developments and section C3.0 & C3.6 being the Character Statement for the Holtermann Estate C Conservation Area within the St Leonards/Crows Nest Planning Area, as discussed in the DCP Compliance Table below.
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments B1.2 Social amenity Population mix Maintaining residential population
Yes Residential accommodation and mix will be maintained.
B1.3 Environmental Criteria Topography Yes The relatively level topography will be maintained.
Views Yes The development will not affect any significant views.
Solar access Yes Reasonable access to sunlight and daylight will be maintained
for adjoining dwellings, as discussed above in the Building Height section in this report.
Acoustic privacy Yes The windows on the first floor will not likely generate any adverse noise impacts as they are associated with bedrooms bathroom and a stair.
Visual privacy (Windows)
Yes The proposed windows will maintain a reasonable level of visual privacy, considered as follows:
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 15 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments
Figure 12 – Rear first floor window will
be 11m from the rear fence
• The first floor window at the south western corner will have an internal sill height of 1.6m, which meets the provision for a 1.5m sill height under section B1.3.10 P4 of the DCP, and is adequate for the proposed bedroom use, having regard to the following: - the window will be set back 2.6m from the western
side boundary, with limited sightlines to the vertical and narrow windows on the ground floor of the adjoining dwelling at No.25 Emmett Street; and
- the window will be set back 11m from the southern rear boundary with No.34 Myrtle Street, and part of the sightline into the rear open space of the neighbour will be obstructed by a fence and shed (Figure 12).
• The first floor side dormer window will be set back 1.7m from the western side boundary, associated with a small bedroom use, with limited sightlines to the vertical and narrow bedroom windows located at the ground floor of the adjoining dwelling at No.25 Emmett Street.
• The side courtyard kitchen window will not give rise to any significant visual privacy impacts as it will be located at ground level facing a fence.
• The side courtyard windows to the stairs may potentially increase overlooking opportunities to the adjacent bathroom at No.25 Emmett Street; a condition is recommended for frosted glass to be used at this location.
• The skylights above the stairs, bathroom, hallway and study will have view lines to the sky. The lower skylight of the attic study will be set back 2.7m from boundary with view lines generally to the roof of No.25 Emmett Street.
Visual privacy (Decks, patios & terraces)
Yes The proposed timber platform in the rear garden will be approximately 200mm above the ground, and approximately 200mm lower than the existing rear pond and decking (Figure 13). The platform will not likely give rise to any unreasonable privacy impacts as it will be sufficiently below the side and rear boundary fences, within a soft landscaped setting, and secondary to the main paved patio.

Figure 13 – Timber deck will be approximately 200mm lower than existing rear decking
B1.4 Quality built form Context Yes The proposal is an appropriate response to the constraints and
characteristics of the site; in particular, the additions are located below and behind the original roof and setbacks have been provided at first floor level to reduce privacy impacts.
Subdivision pattern Siting
Yes The semi-detached house on a long narrow lot will be maintained.
Setbacks Yes Western side setback The proposed side setbacks from the western boundary comply with the requirements of the DCP, as follows: Min. Proposed Complies 1st storey (up to 4m) 900mm 945mm to 1.7m Yes
2nd storey (up to 7m)
1.5m 1.7m to 2.6m Yes
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 17 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments Setbacks (continued)
Yes Eastern side setback The proposed zero side setback from the eastern boundary is supported pursuant to section B1.4.6 P3 of the DCP and in accordance with the planning principle of the Land & Environment Court in Galea v Marrickville Council, discussed as follows: (a) Is the street characterised by terrace housing? The
subject dwelling and street is characterised by semi-detached housing.
(b) What is the height and length of the wall on the boundary? The boundary wall on the first floor will terminate 1.2 to 1.6m short of the existing boundary wall at ground level, and its height has been limited to the extent necessary to accommodate a minimum 2.4m internal head height for the upstairs bedroom;
(c) Has the applicant control over the adjoining site(s) or the agreement of their owners? Written agreement from the adjoining semi-detached (No.29 Emmett Street) has been obtained, subject to minimisation of the works and relevant Council requirements;
(d) What are the impacts on the amenity and/or development potential of adjoining sites? The boundary wall will not fetter future development of the adjoining land, as it adjoins the neighbouring roof and no boundary windows are proposed.
(e) Are there arrangements in place for the maintenance of the wall or gutters? Maintenance will be minimal by virtue of the selection of rendered brick for the boundary wall and roof drainage into the subject site.
Yes Rear setback
The existing rear building line at ground level
will be maintained, which aligns with the established rear building line of adjoining properties (Figure 14), in accordance with section B1.4.6 P5 of the DCP.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 18 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments
Figure 14 – Established ground level rear building line
However, there is no established rear building line at first floor level
, with adjoining dwellings being predominantly single storey with the exception of No.33 Emmett Street (refer to Figure 14).
In the absence of an established rear building line, reference is made to the character statement for the Holtermann Estate C, which states at section C3.6.5 P4 that rear extensions are to be located within a single storey roof line of reduced height and scale to the main dwelling. It is considered the development is consistent with the character statement as the first floor addition will generally maintain a single storey roof line, with habitable spaces accommodated within a contemporary asymmetrically shaped roof design, with the roof line stepped down at the rear generally below or comparable to the roof lines of the subject and adjoining dwellings, as shown in Figures 15 & 16.

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments
Figure 15 – Contemporary roof design at or below subject and adjoining roof lines
Figure 16 – Proposed roof line compared to west-adjoining dwelling No.25 Emmett Street Form, massing & scale Yes The height of the rear addition has been minimised and will
be below the existing single-storey main roof line. The rear addition and side dormer will be sufficiently set back so as to generally maintain the single-storey streetscape of Emmett Street. The size of the proposed development is consistent with and not significantly larger than existing and approved dwellings in the area, as discussed in the Building Height section in this report.
Built form character Yes The design is complementary to the existing character of the dwelling and locality. The side dormer and additions will be toward the rear of the building and not generally visible from the street. The proposed replacement of the window at the front elevation with vertically proportioned French doors is sympathetic to the character of building and is satisfactory to Council’s Conservation Planner.
Dwelling entry Yes No change is proposed to the existing front gate.
Roofs Dormers
Yes The original roof will remain largely intact; in particular, the front roof plane will be retained and the side dormer has been amended to allow for retention of the side roof plane and chimney (Figure 17).
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 20 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments
Figure 17 – Retention of roof planes
The dormer is of a traditional design and sufficiently set back from the street, to the satisfaction of Council’s Conservation Planner, and will not give rise to any material privacy impacts, as discussed in the Visual Privacy section in this Table. The roof of the rear addition will be below the existing ridge height and its profile reduced so as to minimise bulk, scale and shadow impacts. Its contemporary design will clearly distinguish it as new works, which is satisfactory to Council’s Conservation Planner.
Colours & materials Yes The materials selection, including rendered brick, weatherboard cladding and metal roof, generally reflect and reinforce the character of the conservation area. The French doors at the front elevation and side dormer visible from the street, will be required to be timber-framed via condition, as recommended by Council’s Conservation Planner.
Front fences Yes No changes are proposed to the high masonry front fence which has existed since at least 1995 (as evidenced by a stamped drawing for DA1505/95). While desirable to replace the front fence with a traditional low fence that would return visual connection between the site and the street, it is beyond the scope of the current application to require its replacement.
B1.5 Quality urban environment High quality residential accommodation
Yes A high level of internal amenity will be provided, by virtue of improved access from the front living room to the front courtyard, natural daylighting of the rear living area by glazed doors and roof lights, and windows to both upstairs bedrooms.
Lightwells & ventilation Yes The proposed operable skylights for the attic/study meet the requirements of the BCA for light and ventilation.
Safety and security Yes No change is proposed to existing fencing and front gate.
Vehicular access & car parking
Yes There is no car parking on site and none is proposed.
Site coverage Yes The development will result in a minor increase in site coverage, attributable to the removal of the existing side alcove and its replacement with a smaller alcove forming part of the proposed landscaped side courtyard. The proposed site coverage complies with the DCP, as follows: Control Existing Proposed Complies
60% (128.5m2) (max)
48.7% (104.4m2)
49% (104.9m2) Yes
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 21 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments Landscape area No The proposed landscaping does not comply with the numeric
requirements in the DCP, as shown below: Control Existing Proposed Complies
Land-scape area
20% (42.8m2) (min)
4.3% (9.3m2)
18.5% (39.6m2) No
Unbuilt upon area
20% (42.8m2) (max)
45% (96.3m2)
32.4% (69.5m2) No
The development is nevertheless considered to be satisfactory as it will provide a substantial improvement to the landscape setting for the dwelling and will meet the objectives of the provision despite the numeric variations, on the balance of the following considerations: (a) Existing site density will be maintained, with the
proposed site coverage remaining significantly below the maximum allowable for the site;
(b) The landscape area shortfall is relatively minor at 1.5% or 3.2m2 and the proposed soft landscaping is a significant improvement on the existing predominantly paved situation;
(c) The variation of the unbuilt upon area of 12.4% or 26.7m2 is approximately equivalent to the combined areas of the rear patio and timber platform which form part of an integrated landscape design that will improve the functionality of the landscaped rear garden;
(d) The visual and acoustic buffering between dwellings will be improved by significantly increased perimeter plantings;
(e) Soft landscaping will be substantially increased compared to existing; the selection of an evergreen shade tree in the rear yard will allow for adequate light penetration, and its setback from boundaries will minimise any amenity impacts on neighbours;
(f) Landscape works will generally be at existing levels and involve minimal site disturbance;
(g) Rainwater absorption will be increased by virtue of the reduction in paving, increase in vegetation and use of pervious surfaces such as timber decking and unit pavers on pebbles/mulch; and
(h) Existing levels will generally be maintained and the development will not impact on any underground water flows.
Excavation Yes The development will generally maintain existing levels and
involve minimal earthworks. Conditions are recommended to ensure the structural integrity of adjoining sites.
Landscaping Yes The proposed landscaping is appropriate to the site.

DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 Residential development Complies Comments Front gardens Yes Additional soft landscaping will be provided in the front
courtyard. A feature tree (frangipani) will be visible above the high front fence when mature.
B1.6 Efficient use of resources Energy efficiency Yes A BASIX Certificate has been submitted.
Passive solar design Yes Adequate solar access to the rear open plan living area will be
obtained via full-width patio doors, roof lights and a kitchen window.

6. Loading and Servicing facilities N/A 7. Physical relationship to and impact upon adjoining Yes development (Views, privacy, overshadowing, etc.) 8. Site Management Issues Yes 9. All relevant S79C considerations of Yes Environmental Planning and Assessment (Amendment) Act 1979 SUBMITTORS CONCERNS The issues raised in the submissions are addressed below. (a) Height and character
Comment
: Non-compliance with the height control is supported in this case on merit in accordance with Council’s LEP. The variations will occur at or below the existing main roof ridge and behind the front and side roof planes. The contemporary rear addition will be set back in accordance with the DCP, partially obscured by a traditional dormer, so as to have minimal visibility and impact on the streetscape or conservation area.
(b) Privacy Comment
: The proposed 1.6m sill height of the rear and west-facing first floor window meets the minimum 1.5m sill height provision in the DCP, and is a reasonable height in consideration of the bedroom use and adequate set backs from the rear and side boundaries.
The privacy impacts of the double height window adjacent the stairs will be reduced by plantings in the side courtyard; however, the impermanence of landscaping is recognised, and as such, a condition is recommended that obscure glazing be used for the window. The kitchen window at ground level and skylights will have very limited sightlines to adjoining properties and are assessed to have minimal privacy impacts.
(d) Solar access Comment
: The proposed shadows on the upper portions of the side windows of the adjoining property are not, on balance, assessed to be material. In particular, the affected windows are the side or secondary windows to an open plan living area which otherwise receives excellent daylight access via full width bi-fold doors to the rear garden, and a large clerestory window and skylight above. Furthermore, the shadow impacts are attributable to a relatively minor breach of the height control, and would be similar to the impacts of a height-compliant scheme. The impacts do not arise from a poor design; the addition will be within the existing building footprint and maintain a compliant set back from the side boundary.
The development will maintain the existing building footprint and adequate daylight access and air circulation in the area of the western side setback, and as such, unlikely to create or exacerbate any rising damp conditions on the subject or neighbouring properties.
Report of Susanna Cheng, Senior Assessment Officer Page 24 Re: 27 Emmett Street, Crows Nest
(b) Documentation Comment
: The notification documentation is in accordance with section A4.4.4 of North Sydney DCP 2013, including the notification plan which provides a description of the development, and instructions for inspection of full DA documentation.
CONCLUSION The development application has been assessed against the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013 and the North Sydney Development Control Plan 2013. The variation to the building height control is justifiable in the circumstances of the case as the development will improve residential amenity, have no material adverse impacts on adjoining properties, and will not adversely impact on the streetscape or conservation area. The issues raised by the submittors have been addressed in the report. Having regard to the provisions of section 79C of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979, the application is considered to be satisfactory and therefore can be approved.
