SUMMARY
· The proposal is for the construction of a second single-storey dwelling at the
rear of the existing dwelling. Ten trees are proposed for removal; however four
of these require planning permission. Trees to be removed generally comprise
exotics and environmental weeds.
· The total site area is 892m² and the proposed dwelling density is 1:446m².
· The proposal is consistent with the relevant clauses of the Yarra Ranges
Planning Scheme as the development will integrate with the neighbourhood
character and it will not result in a significant loss of amenity to adjoining
properties.
· The application was advertised and a total of 6 objections and a petition
containing 96 signatures were received on the grounds of neighbourhood
character, lack of infrastructure, increased traffic, reduced safety, lack of open
space and landscaping, loss of privacy and property devaluation.
· The application is recommended for approval (NOD).
