The site is subject to the draft Coastal Management SEPPwhich is currently on exhibition until 23 December 2016 and follows Stateplanning reforms for the NSW coast under the Coastal Management Act 2016. The two proposed jetties and pontoons would not impact onseagrass in Calabash Bay. A small mangrove tree would require removal which isacceptable for the proposal and would not diminish the mangrove tidalhabitat. Roads and Maritime Serviceadvised there are no navigational concerns regarding the proposal in respect tolocal waterways. The application was referredto Roads and Maritime Services in regard to the above regulatory requirementsregarding navigation safety.

The proposed on-site waste water treatment system and impacton the waterway was raised as a concern. Protection of the natural area between existing lots 3 and 4was raised as a concern. The proposal would have a minor positive impact on the localeconomy in generating an increase in demand for local services.
Complying development is a fast-tracked, streamlined form ofcombined planning and construction approval for specified types of developmentidentified and enabled through the Codes SEPP. Complying development canonly be undertaken if a set of prescribed numerical controls and developmentstandards are fully satisfied. Approvals can be issued by councils orprivate certifiers (certifying authority). A condition is recommended for the management of theAPZ required for future dwellings on the site to maintain the Rough-barkedApple – Forest Oak vegetation community within the APZ area. The access to the proposedlots along Calabash Bay for firefighting operations and evacuation could berestricted to ISLW tides in accordance with the independent assessment providedby MHL. Subject to recommended conditions the proposal is acceptablein respect to the HDCP desired outcomes for stormwater management toprotect waterways and maintain environmental flows.
Vehicular accessis currently obtained from Redgrave Road over a shared right of carriagewaywith property No. 17A Redgrave Road. The following information isprovided for your assistance to ensure compliance with the EnvironmentalPlanning and Assessment Act 1979, Environmental Planning and AssessmentRegulation 2000, other relevant legislation and Council’s policiesand specifications. This information does not form part of the conditionsof development consent pursuant to Section 80a of the Act. The development applicationwas lodged prior to the commencement of Hornsby Local Environmental Plan2013 and is subject to the provisions of Hornsby Shire LocalEnvironmental Plan 1994.
The proposed rear 6m wide landscaping area is less in widththan the 7m required by HDCP. The area however, is considered acceptableon merit given the limited site depth and the open space sports field of theadjoining school at the rear of the site. The subject site is rectangular in shape with a depth of35.4m and frontage/length of 48.7m.
Whilst LGA specific housing targets are identified, thedraft Plan does not identify a specific mix of low, medium or high densityhousing to be achieved. In the absence of a target or guidance onthe take up of medium density housing, the objectives of theamendments may not be achieved, particularly as the proposed Code amendmentsapply differently to each council based on the permissibility of land useswithin their LEP. The development standards for complying development would becontained within the Codes SEPP and MDDG. The role of the MDDG is to providefurther explanation of the complying development standards and guidance on gooddesign. Manor homes are a new development type and are intended toapply within any zone where multi dwelling housing or residential flatbuildings are permitted.
Within this context, the introduction of code assessable terracesand manor homes within the R3 zone is unlikely to increase take-up when moreprofitable development options exist. Furthermore, accredited certifiers generally havebackgrounds in building surveying and would likely have limited experience inthe assessment of the proposed dwelling types. Medium density developmenttypically involves a merit assessment of compliance with local controls,amenity, privacy, design quality, servicing and traffic impact that involve theinput of a broad range of professionals. A complying pathway would onlyrequire a single accredited certifier to assess these complex issues. The site of the proposed lots for future dwelling houses isa very steep sandstone slope with an average fall of approximately 60% to 80%.The sandstone topography includes rock outcrops and benches.

Council will consult with thecommunity soon, with the inclusive playground programmed to be constructed latein 2017. Council’s Active Living Hornsby Strategy (2015)identified the value and benefits of ‘Destination Parks’ as placesthat can attract local residents as well as visitors from a largercatchment. These sites provide opportunities for larger scale playgroundsto be complemented with other facilities including accessible amenities, picnicfacilities and circuit paths. An opportunity for communityinvolvement is provided in the design of the playgrounds, artwork and otherelements. Engaging with the local community through a meaningfulconsultation process engenders a sense of care, ownership and connection withthe site.
Subject to the implementation of erosion and sedimentcontrol measures, the impacts of the proposal on the water quality of CalabashBay would be minimised. The relevant matters under Clause 15 of the draft SEPPare subject to consideration under current planning controls as addressed inthis report. The proposed development would not significantly impact onthe adjacent coastal wetland, subject to recommendedconditions. The subject site is mapped for “coastalwetlands”, “coastal environment area” and “coastal usearea”. Part 2 of the draft SEPP includes development controls forcoastal management areas. The site’s Calabash Bay foreshore adjoins twoforeshore properties previously subdivided and developed for dwelling houses(lot 4 and lot 5 DP ) in an earlier subdivision involving the site.
The two new storage silos would improve the storage capacityand efficiency of the existing plant. The silos would not result in an increasein truck numbers or hours of operation. It is submitted that the proposedincrease in storage capacity is to avoid delays in meeting constructionrequirements for NorthConnex. Two independent valuation firms were subsequently engaged byCouncil to provide current market rental valuation report of the portfolio ofeight pre-schools and kindergartens. One firm was instructed to providereports for each of the three properties leased to KU Children’sServices, whilst the other firm was instructed to provide reports for each ofthe five other independently leased centres. The basis of the instructions wasto provide open market rental valuations of each property for a new lease onstandard commercial terms for the permitted use of “education and childcare services”, assuming ‘vacant possession’ and disregardingthe value of goodwill, if any.
There are 64 trees on the site comprising mainly locallyindigenous and native species. The proposed development would necessitate the removalof 44 trees from the site. None of the trees identified for removal areidentified as ‘significant trees’ in accordance with the Tree andVegetation provisions of the HDCP.
Whilst this results in additionalbuilding height to the rear, the retention of the bushland with many largemature trees within the rear landscaped setback area will provide an effectivevisual screen to the lower level of the proposed building. The assessment includes recommended specifications forglazing to mitigate noise impacts from the School operation and Peats FerryRoad noise, to achieve the required residential acoustic environment. Deep soil areas are provided around the building envelope which would enhance the development's natural environmental performance and provide an appropriate landscaped setting subject to recommended conditions. The site is located within a precinct planned for five storey residential flat buildings in close proximity to Asquith Railway Station and the Asquith commercial centre. The proposed excavation works for the basement carpark involvedepths 6m below ground level. A condition is recommended for a detailedgeotechnical assessment of the site by a chartered structural engineer, to beundertaken for the design of the basement excavation and support, groundwaterdrainage, basement and foundation design.
