Landscaped area for dwelling houses and secondary dwellings
6.9 Landscaped area for dwelling houses and secondary dwellings
(1) The
objectives of this clause are as follows--
(a) to maintain the character and
identity of Hunters Hill by ensuring that dwelling houses and secondary
dwellings are surrounded and separated by individual gardens,
(b) to soften
the visual impacts of dwelling houses and secondary dwellings when viewed from
any waterway, park or road by providing sufficient space for trees and
plantings around every building,
(c) to protect and preserve native
vegetation in general, and in particular, native vegetation that occurs in a
riverfront area or on riparian land,
(d) to ensure that the size and scale of
dwelling houses and secondary dwellings are compatible with the existing
character of their surrounding locality,
(e) to minimise the discharge of
stormwater from any site, whether by drainage or by overland flow.
(2) The
landscaped area of any site on which development for the purpose of a dwelling
house or a secondary dwelling is carried out must not be less than--
(a) for
each site with a direct frontage to the Parramatta River or the Lane Cove
River--60% of the site area, or
(b) for all other sites--50% of the site
area.
(3) For the purposes of subclause (2), the site area is to be
calculated under clause 4.5 (3) and any area that has a length or a width of
less than 2 metres is not to be included in calculating the proportion of
landscaped area.
(4) Despite subclause (2), the minimum landscaped area may
be reduced by not more than 33% for the purpose of accommodating a pathway, a
patio, a terrace or a pool (if the pool has an area of less than 40 square
metres), but only if the proposed development would be consistent with the
objectives of this clause.
