Springwood St proposal 'has drive access from Hood St'

A template application submitted to Central Coast Council for a dual occupancy development at 141 Springwood St, Ettalong, has stated that it has driveway access from Hood St, 1.7km away.

The application prepared by Clarke Dowdle and Associates appears to use the same template submitted for an application for a dual occupancy at 20 Hood St.

Both applications state they are based on plans provided by designers Knight Mapleton Design Partners, with the developments both estimated to cost $400,000.

Both applications state that each dwelling would include a garage, bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, dining area, bathroom, ensuite and adjoining patios or courtyards.

They also both state that: "Each unit would include an open space area adjoining each dwelling which incorporates a patio and clothes drying areas.

"The proposed units provide sufficient areas to store mobile waste collection bins away from the street and from the courtyard areas within the site.

"The upper floor rooms include living areas to take advantage of unimpeded solar access as opposed to ground floor living rooms that would be impeded from the two-storey development to the north."

Both applications also state: "The development would obtain access to their garages via the driveway running along the northern boundary from Hood St."

The proposed development is on a 623.6 square metre allotment at 141 Springwood St, Ettalong Beach, "on the north-western side of the intersection with Palm Street and contains a dwelling-house and ancillary structures".

The proposal does not comply with setback requirements on the south side, allowing only 1.6m where a 3m setback is required.

It also does not comply with the rear three metre setback requirement, providing only a one metre setback.

It has an unarticulated external wall length 8.2 metres, exceeding the eight metre requirement.

This proposal, similar to the Hood St proposal, also does not compy with the public open space planning provisions with the second unit offering only 50 square metres, compared to the 75 square metre requirement, according to the application.

The application uses the same justification as the Hood St application, stating it "is consistent with the objectives, planning strategies and controls applicable to the site". "The proposal provides increased housing density which is well designed to meet residential needs and is commensurate with the character of the surrounding area."
