55 Site consolidation in “medium density areas”

Apartment development in the “medium density areas” as shown on the map and localities E4, E7, E10, E13, E14, E16, E19 and E20 shall not result in adjacent allotment(s) that have areas or dimensions, or are constrained in other ways, that would render such allotment(s) incapable of compliance with the relevant Locality Statement and general principles of development control.

Standards for side boundary envelopes and side setbacks for built form may be contravened where they would otherwise apply to basement carparking structures and private open space, in the case of existing narrow width allotments that make compliance with these standards unreasonable and that are surrounded by medium density development or apartment style housing. These built form controls may be contravened only where the proposed development is consistent with the desired future character of the locality and complies with the following additional side boundary envelope and side setback built form standards—

• basement carparking structures may be positioned up to a minimum of 2 metres from the side boundary but shall be not more than 1 metre above natural ground level, and

• private open space may extend to a minimum of 3.5 metres from a side boundary.
