71 Parking facilities (visual impact)

Parking facilities (including garages) are to be sited and designed so as not to dominate the street frontage or other public spaces.

In particular—

• garage doors and carports are to be integrated into the house design where topography and other constraints of the site allow, and

• laneways are to be used to provide rear access to carparking areas where possible, and

• car parking is to be provided underground or in semi basements for apartment buildings and other large developments, and

• parking is to be located so that views of the street from front windows are not obscured.

Note—

Individual Locality Statements may provide more detailed guidance regarding the location and design of carparking facilities.
