Approval for three-unit development
Approval has been given for the development of three units at 24 King St, Umina.
The development application was lodged in November 2015 and the work is valued at $550,000.
Only two submissions were received when the application was advertised in November and December last year.
The site is on the southern side of King St and adjoins houses and medium density residential developments.
The site contains a house that will be demolished to make way for the unit development.
Consent was granted on the basis that the Council had received amended plans which flipped the development to provide a more favourable outcome for solar access to private open space areas.
"The amendments were not re-notified," according to an assessment report prepared by Council staff.
"The amendments are considered to satisfy objectors' concerns regarding amenity and noise from the unit development to the west of the subject site," the report said.
"The amended proposal is not considered to have an adverse impact on the amenity of the adjoining neighbours to the east.
The new multi-dwelling housing development will consist of one single storey unit with a floor area of 120 square metres, single garage space and the opportunity for tandem parking.
The second unit will also be single storey with a floor area of 67 square metres and a double garage.
Unit three will also be single story with a floor area of 124 square metres and a double garage.
The Council's assessment report concluded that: "The potential constraints of the site have been assessed and it is considered that the site is suitable for the proposed development.
"Subject to the imposition of appropriate conditions, the proposed development is not expected to have an adverse social or economic impact. It is considered that the proposed development will complement the locality and meet the desired future character of the area," the report concluded.
