Review requested of refused dual occupancy
Amended details have been submitted for a dual occupancy at 23 Bangelow St, Ettalong Beach.
The development application was originally lodged by Wales and Associates on October 11 last year.
It received 21 submissions against and was recommended for refusal by the Council's assessment officer.
It was refused by the Local Planning Panel on August 10.
It has been resubmitted as a request for review of a determination (Section 82A review).
According to the Council website, there was an amended version of the application lodged on May 19 and some of the drawings also.
In the council's latest assessment report dated August 23, it was stated that there was no information supplied about the amendments that had been made to the drawings.
The Council's assessment report gave four reasons for recommending refusal.
"Non-compliance with clause 4.4 Floor Space Ratio (9.8% variation).
"Non-compliance ... in regard to setbacks, deep soil, waste, private open space and solar access.
"Public submissions and matters raised therein.
"Insufficient information in regard to access (swept paths and clearances required); engineering (preliminary engineering plans required); landscape plans (amended landscape plans required)."
The public submissions seemed to be mainly concerned with overshadowing, the 24-hour access requested by the applicant during construction, issues with the two garages accessed from the lane at the back and privacy concerns in relation to the height of the proposal and the roof deck on top of it.
The application is again on public exhibition with public submissions accepted until October 27.
