Intersection upgrades could affect building setbacks
Changes to property boundaries resulting from upgrades to Blackwall Rd could affect development applications for properties facing the road.
Central Coast Council planners reported to the Local Planning Panel last week that plans to upgrade the intersection of Blackwall and Farnell Rds in Woy Woy would require a development proposal for property at the intersection to be redesigned.
The council recommended that the proposal for a two-storey 18-unit multi-dwelling development over five lots at the intersection be refused.
Transport for NSW had told the council: "The proposed intersection upgrade will impact the subject development's proposed retaining wall.
"To avoid demolition of this structure as part of the intersection upgrade, all ancillary structures should be wholly located within the new property boundary resultant from the intersection upgrade."
The council report noted: "The proposed road widening boundary proposed by Transport for NSW would result in a change to the building setbacks to the resultant road reserve boundaries.
"The development would require redesign to address this proposed intersection and achieve compliant setbacks."
