Three-unit development proposed for Railway St

A three-unit two-storey development costing almost $1.4 million has been proposed for 138 Railway St, Woy Woy.

Central Coast Council has received a development application for the site, which has an area of 696.7 square metres with a frontage of 15.24 metres to Railway St and a depth of 45.72 metres.

"The proposed development seeks to demolish all existing structures and removal all 13 trees to enable the development of multi dwelling housing comprising one three-bedroom and two four-bedroom dwellings."

The units would be separated into two buildings with the first townhouse built separately in front of the building containing the other two units.

"The proposed multi dwelling housing development comprises three, two-storey dwellings, each with vehicular and pedestrian access via a driveway from Railway Street.

"Townhouse one has a separate pedestrian access from Railway St.

"Each dwelling is provided with, at ground floor, garage parking for one (townhouses two and three) or two cars (townhouse one), open-plan kitchen, dining and living connecting to a generous private open space, powder room and laundry.

"Townhouse two also benefits from an additional bedroom at the ground floor.

"The proposal seeks the removal of the 13 trees, of which all are considered to have low retention value with the exception of Tree 9 which is identified as having moderate retention value in the Arboricultural Impact Assessment Report."

The site area falls short of the minimum 750m2 required.

The separation of the two proposed buildings also falls short of requirements.

A public comment period extends to September 10.
