New South Wales Consolidated Regulations New South Wales Consolidated RegulationsApartment 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.
