  1. Right-of-Way Setback – Local Planning Policy 7 – Development and Vehicle Access to Properties Abutting Rights-of-Ways requires buildings to be set back a minimum of 4 metres from the centreline of the right-of-way, whilst the existing ground floor of the building is set back 2 metres from the centreline of the right-of-way.
  2. Height of Boundary Wall – The Residential Design Codes, Volume 1, Part C prescribes the maximum height of boundary walls as 3.5 metres, whilst a boundary wall to the north-western boundary has a maximum height of 6.6 metres above natural ground level.

Design element 

3.4 Lot boundary setbacks 

Relevant design principle(s) 

P3.4.1 Lot boundary setbacks reinforce the location’s streetscape character and are consistent with the existing or desired built form local character.  

 

P3.4.2 The setback of development from lot boundaries provides a transition between sites with different land uses or intensity of development.  

 

P3.4.3 Buildings are set back from lot boundaries or adjacent buildings on the same lot to:  

  1. provide adequate solar access and natural ventilation to the building and open spaces on the site and adjoining properties; and  
  1. address the potential for overlooking and resultant loss of privacy on adjoining properties. 

 

P3.4.4 Buildings are built up to lot boundaries where this:  

i.           makes more effective use of space for primary garden areas and/or private open space; 

ii.         maintains adequate solar access to major openings and private open space of adjoining properties; and  

iii.        contributes positively to the prevailing or future development context and streetscape as outlined in the local planning framework.
