Judgment

1. COMMISSIONER: This is an appeal pursuant to s 8.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 against the refusal by the Respondent (by its delegate the Inner West Local Planning Panel) of Development Application DA/2018/515 for alterations and additions to an existing two storey mixed use building including renovation of first floor building and a new second floor including a lift at Lot 5 DP 431011 known as 49 Darling Street, Balmain East (the Site).

2. The principal issue is whether or not the proposed development is compatible with the desired future character of the area, being a heritage conservation area, in relation to its bulk, form and scale. For the reasons which follow I find that the proposal is not so compatible and accordingly the appeal is to be dismissed.

The Site and surrounds

3. The Site is on the north east corner of the intersection of Darling Street and Nicholson Street. It has an area of 175.3m², and is irregular in shape having a dog leg in its eastern boundary. It has a frontage to Darling Street of 6.115m and to Nicholson Street of 19.845m. Its northern boundary is 12.36m and its eastern boundary is 19.365m.

4. On the Site at present is a one and two storey mixed use building with a ground floor shop and two dwellings, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. A feature of the building is its parapet with a higher feature element on the corner. Below is a photograph of the building taken from Darling Street looking generally in an easterly direction. The photograph/montage is computer generated and includes a part of the proposal but the proposed extension is scarcely visible from this location as the photograph is taken from quite close to the building. The image demonstrates the dominant parapet with sky beyond.

5. The Site is not a heritage item but is within the Balmain East Heritage Conservation Area and located on a prominent corner site. It is a contributory item in the conservation area. On the other corners of the intersection are larger buildings. Directly opposite on Nicholson Street is a two storey building with dormer windows at the upper level and rooms in the roof. Directly opposite on Darling Street is a large building of two storeys but of a greater height than a typical two storey building and with an open parapet. Diagonally across Darling Street on the south western corner is a three storey building. Each of the corner buildings is mixed use with some retail or commercial use on the ground floor.

6. The intersection is at the eastern end of the relatively small and low-key Balmain East shopping strip. Views of Sydney Harbour are enjoyed looking east down Darling Street, including from the west of the Site with the Site in the foreground.

7. The Site is in the vicinity of heritage items at 1, 3 and 5 Lookes Avenue to the rear, and on the other side of Darling Street at 51 Darling Street.

8. East Balmain generally, including in the vicinity of the Site has a mix of single and double storey development along Darling Street and residential development off Darling Street including traditional terrace housing and more modern development interspersed.

The proposal

9. The proposal is described by the Applicant as the addition of a second floor contemporary element to an existing two storey mixed use building.

10. The main element of the proposed alterations and additions is the third level component. An extra floor is proposed above the present first floor and necessitates the demolition of one of the two existing chimneys and the skillion roof behind the parapet. A new living/dining area is proposed on the second floor and the first floor is altered to provide a new bathroom, laundry and guest room/study. The ground floor alterations are minor and are designed to facilitate the changes in the first floor and the new second floor. A lift is to be installed.

11. The southern wall third level (or second floor) is set back 4.5m from the parapet facing Darling Street and 3m from Nicholson Street. The setback to Nicholson Street increases starting from about 9m from Darling Street to then line up with the floor below. Because the building is on an angle to Nicholson Street that setback increases going north. There is a planter proposed behind the parapet and a deck between the planter and the living/dining area. On the eastern side the second floor is proposed to be on the boundary as is the existing building form below. A deck is also proposed at the rear/northern end of the new second floor.

12. The new roof is 2.54m in height above most of the parapet and 0.5m above the corner feature element of the parapet.

Statutory context

13. The Site is zoned B1 Neighbourhood Centre pursuant to Leichhardt Local Environmental Plan 2013 (the LEP). The proposal is permissible with development consent.

14. The zone objectives to which regard must be had by virtue of clause 2.3(2) of the LEP are:

1 Objectives of zone

• To provide a range of small-scale retail, business and community uses that serve the needs of people who live or work in the surrounding neighbourhood.

• To ensure that development is appropriately designed to minimise amenity impacts.

• To allow appropriate residential uses to support the vitality of neighbourhood centres.

15. Ultimately there was no issue about the zone objectives.

16. Clause 4.4 (and the Floor Space Ratio map) prescribes the Floor Space Ratio (FSR) for the Site is 1:1. However there is a further clause which provides an exception with a bonus provision. Clause 4.4A provides:

4.4A Exception to maximum floor space ratio for active street frontages

(1) The objective of this clause is to provide floor space incentives for mixed use development that incorporates active street frontages at ground floor level in Zone B1 Neighbourhood Centre or Zone B2 Local Centre.

(2) This clause applies to land identified as “Area 1” on the Floor Space Ratio Map.

(3) Despite clause 4.4, the maximum floor space ratio for a building on land to which this clause applies is 1.5:1 if the consent authority is satisfied that—

(a) the building will have an active street frontage, and

(b) the building comprises mixed use development, including residential accommodation, and

(c) the building is compatible with the desired future character of the area in relation to its bulk, form, uses and scale.

(4) Despite subclause (3), an active street frontage is not required for any part of a building that is used for any of the following—

(a) entrances and lobbies (including as part of mixed use development),

(b) access for fire services,

(c) vehicular access.

(5) In this clause, a building has an active street frontage if all floor space on the ground floor of the building facing the street is used for a purpose other than residential accommodation.

17. The proposed FSR is 1.49:1 and so the proposal relies upon the exception in clause 4.4A for approval being within the standard of 1.5:1 if the tests in clause 4.4A are satisfied (the Applicant accepted that if the proposal failed the tests in clause 4.4A then a clause 4.6 objection could not be upheld to justify a departure from the base FSR of 1:1).

18. Subclause 4.4A(3) prescribes three elements to be satisfied for the higher FSR to be applied. There is no issue about the first two – the building will have an active street frontage and the building comprises mixed use development, including residential accommodation.

19. The only issue is in relation to subclause 4.4A(3)(c) – whether the building is compatible with the desired future character of the area in relation to its bulk, form and scale. There is no issue that its uses are compatible.

20. Clause 6.11A deals with residential accommodation in Zone B1 and provides:

6.11A Residential accommodation in Zone B1 and Zone B2

(1) The objective of this clause is to promote residential accommodation as part of mixed use developments in business zones to support the vitality of neighbourhood and local centres.

(2) This clause applies to land in Zone B1 Neighbourhood Centre and Zone B2 Local Centre.

(3) Development consent must not be granted to development for the purpose of residential accommodation on land to which this clause applies unless the consent authority is satisfied that—

(a) the building comprises mixed use development, including residential accommodation, and

(b) the building will have an active street frontage, and

(c) the building is compatible with the desired future character of the area in relation to its bulk, form, uses and scale.

(4) In this clause, a building has an active street frontage if all floor space on the ground floor of the building on the primary street frontage is used for a purpose other than residential accommodation (with the exception of areas for access or service purposes).

(Emphasis added)

21. It will readily be seen that the same test is applied in clause 6.11A as in clause 4.4A of the LEP in relation to desired future character. Therefore, there is no need for any further specific reference to clause 6.11A.

22. Clause 5.10(4) requires the consent authority to consider the effect of the development on the heritage significance of the heritage conservation area. The area of which the Site forms part is effectively the whole of the Balmain peninsular. The provisions in the Leichhardt Development Control Plan 2013 referred to below are assumed to take into account the fact of the heritage conservation area because there is no separate section dealing with the area as a heritage conservation area.

23. It was common ground that the desired future character is to be determined by reference to various provisions in the DCP. Unfortunately, it is necessary to extract a number of those provisions, although there is a degree of repetition and overlap because there are various provisions which apply to the proposal.

24. Part C Section 1 comprises general provisions, including provisions dealing with alterations and additions in section C1.3. The principal relevant objectives are:

“Objectives

O1   To ensure that development:

a. complements the scale, form and materials of the streetscape including wall height and roof form;

b. where an alteration or addition is visible from the public domain it should appear as a sympathetic addition to the existing building;

c. makes a positive contribution to the desired future character of the streetscape and any heritage values associated with it;

d. is compatible with neighbourhood character, including prevailing site layout;

…….”

25. The Controls follow and relevantly provide:

“Controls

General provisions

C1   The overall form of alterations and additions shall:

a. have regard to the provisions within Appendix B – Building Typologies of this Development Control Plan;

b. be compatible with the scale, form and material of the existing dwelling and adjoining dwellings, including wall height and roof form;

c. retain any building and streetscape consistencies which add positively to the character of the neighbourhood (e.g. architectural details, continuous rows of dwellings, groups of similar dwellings, or the like);

d. maintain the integrity of the streetscape and heritage significance;

e. be considered from all public vantage points from which the additions will be visible; and

f. achieve the objectives and controls for the applicable desired future character”

26. These general provisions of the DCP reinforce the test in clause 4.4A(3)(c) – the search for compatibility and consistency with the existing and desired future character. There is specific guidance from the section on building typologies which is Annexure B to the DCP and is extracted below.

27. Part C section 2 of the DCP is concerned with urban character. It has Suburb Profile Statements for each suburb within the Leichhardt local government area, and then Distinctive Neighbourhood Statements, and Sub Areas within those Distinctive Neighborhoods. The general introduction provides:

“The provisions of Section C2 – Urban Character of this Development Control Plan give guidance on how to facilitate development that gives effect to the aims of the Leichhardt Local Environmental Plan 2013 and achieves the objectives of the R1 General Residential Zone.”

28. It is not necessary to quote the Suburb Profile Statement but the Neighbourhood Statements are relevant. The Site is within the Darling Street Distinctive Neighbourhood. It embraces the properties which have a frontage to Darling Street from Balmain to East Balmain as far as the public wharf on the harbor at its eastern end.

29. The relevant provisions of the Darling Street Distinctive Neighbourhood are:

“Desired Future Character

Objective

O1 To facilitate development that is consistent with the Desired Future Character and Controls for the Distinctive Neighbourhood.

Controls

C1    Preserve and enhance the existing streetscape with special consideration for the remaining Colonial and Victorian buildings.

C2    Allow for contemporary redevelopment where it is complementary to the existing heritage streetscapes and character/scale of the neighbourhood.

…….

C8    Rooftop additions higher than the building wall height, if permitted, are to be set back from the front of the building to preserve the traditional scale of development and streetscape.

……

C17   Development is to be consistent with any relevant Sub Area objective(s) and condition(s).”

30. The Site falls within the Darling Street East Sub Area, that smaller section of properties fronting Darling Street east from Eventon Street. It is shown in the following Figure C43 in the DCP:

31. The relevant provisions are:

“Desired Future Character

Objective

O1 To facilitate development that is consistent with the Desired Future Character and Controls for the Distinctive Neighbourhood.

Controls

C1   Maintain the historic two storey scale of development.

C2    Encourage the continued use of existing architectural styles, and materials. Materials used should include unpainted stone, masonry, timber framed openings and slate roofs.

………

C8    New development or significant additions to buildings should respect the existing context of the streetscape in terms of scale, materials and sympathy to the existing built form.

……

C17 Development is to be consistent with any relevant objectives and controls within the Darling Street Distinctive Neighbourhood.”

32. The controls for this smaller distinctive neighbourhood emphasise the two storey scale and the respect to be given to the existing built form. That includes respect for the subject building of course, where the alterations and additions are proposed.

33. Appendix B to the DCP is concerned with Building Typologies. Control C1 of the General Provisions referred to above direct the Council (now the Court) to have regard to the provisions of the Building Typologies in Appendix B. The Appendix gives Objectives, Controls and suggested design approaches in respect of a variety of building typologies. There is no command to follow a particular suggested design approach.

34. The relevant typology is Section 10 – Corner Shops. The General characteristics of the typology are first described, including:

“The defining characteristics of a Corner Shop are as follows:

• 1880s - circa 1915;

• modest two storey buildings, very occasionally one storey attached;

• many corner shops were stand-alone retail uses in residential or industrial areas. Some terminate a row of shops at a street intersection, or terminate a row of residential terrace houses and have the same domestic scale and floor to ceiling proportions;

• the upper floor was traditionally the shopkeeper's residence. Today the LGA has a mix of corner shops that retain a commercial function and those that have been converted to full residential use;

• corner shops are built to both street boundaries and with an awning that wraps around the primary and part of the secondary street frontage. Some have a corner splay with the entry door set to the corner;

…..

• roofs may be parapet roofs or hipped and gabled in the same plane as the terrace row they terminate. The level of detailing varies, although it is comparatively modest compared to the larger corner hotel form; and

…..”

35. The building on the Site presently has most of these characteristics. It was built in the period from the 1880s, it is a modest two storey building with an upstairs residence, built to both boundaries and a parapet roof.

36. The relevant objectives and controls are:

“Objectives

O1   To facilitate development that is compatible with this Building Typology.

Controls

C1   Development shall:

a. retain and enhance the original characteristics of corner shops; and

b. maintain the potential for the upper floors of corner shops to be used for commercial or residential purposes and the ground floor to be used for retail purposes and commercial activity where permissible.

C2   Vertical additions are:

a. not to interrupt a clear view of the skyline above the parapet when viewed from across the primary street or when viewed obliquely from the footpath;

b. not to detract from the appearance of the building along the secondary street; and

c. not to detract from the amenity of adjoining properties.

C3   Important elements of corner shops are to be retained and/or restored, including:

a. awnings and awning posts …;

b. shopfront windows …;

c. corner entries …;

d. upper level verandahs (sic), windows, doors and balustrade detailing …;

e. chimneys …; and

f. early painted signs.

…….”

37. There are two suggested design approaches identified for alterations or additions to a corner shop, but neither demonstrates the addition of a third level to a corner shop. This of itself is not determinative, but it is observed merely to indicate that there is no additional assistance to the decision maker in the DCP which shows a potential design approach.

The evidence and submissions

38. The hearing commenced on site and the Court heard from a number of local residents. The common concerns were the proposal being out of character in a heritage conservation area, height, precedent, loss of visual and acoustic privacy and view loss. The proposal was viewed from inside two of the properties opposite in Nicholson Street.

39. After receiving the evidence, the Court with the parties, their representatives and experts viewed the Site from a number of vantage points. The Court was assisted by computer generated images of the proposal from various locations. Photographs were also taken from those locations to assist the Court and the parties in the consideration of the matter.

40. Written and oral evidence was given by Mr Pagan (planning) and Mr Stephen Davies (heritage) on behalf of the Applicant and Mr Miletic (planning) and Mr Croft (heritage) on behalf of the Respondent. The Applicant’s architect Mr Welsh made a statement about the preparation of the computer-generated images but was not required for cross-examination.

38. At the end of the first day of hearing, before any oral expert evidence, the Applicant’s architect was asked to provide additional information about privacy impacts and the Respondent was asked to consider to what extent the contentions relating to amenity impacts on neighbouring properties was pressed.

39. At the commencement of the second day of hearing I was informed that following the provision of the additional information, Mr Miletic and the Respondent were satisfied that there were no unreasonable privacy impacts on neighbouring properties. I accepted that concession was appropriate having regard to the distance from the viewing locations to the neighbouring properties and the intervening existing and proposed landscaping.

40. The Respondent also reconsidered its position in relation to the contention of view loss from the public and private domains. Its position was that if the Court was satisfied as to the clause 4.4A test – consistent with the desired future character of the area – then view loss was not of itself a reason for refusal. View loss remained a consideration only to the extent that a failure to share views appropriately was said to be an inconsistency with the desired future character of the area.

41. The only amenity contention the Council ultimately pressed was its objection to the eastern wall at the upper level being on the boundary. It was said that it was “borrowing amenity” from the eastern neighbour and should be set back. That aside, the issue was whether the test in clause 4.4A(3) was satisfied – if so, then the applicable FSR was 1.5:1 with which the proposal complied, and the one merit issue remained. If not, then the FSR maximum was 1:1 and the proposal could not be approved as a clause 4.6 objection was bound to fail.

42. The planners gave evidence about view loss, differing in only minor respects as to the impact, it not being a matter of determining weight. Mr Miletic said that the eastern wall to the proposed second storey should be set back from the boundary because if not it may limit the development potential of the property to the east and the proposal “borrowed” that amenity from the neighbour. Mr Pagan said that the wall on the boundary should be, and is likely to be, ignored in any proposal to develop the neighbouring property to the east.

43. The planners largely left the issue of compatibility with the desired future character of the conservation area to the heritage experts.

44. Mr Davies said that the extension was barely visible for the most part in the public domain and to the extent it could be seen, it would present as a contemporary element subservient to the existing building. Accordingly, he said, it was compatible with the desired future character of the area because the essential characteristics of the existing building were retained.

45. Mr Croft said that the proposal was not compatible with the desired future character of the area because it was visible from a number of various locations and its height and setbacks meant that it detracted from the contribution of the existing building to the conservation area.

46. The Court was greatly assisted by the inspection of the Site from a number of viewpoints at which the experts, with the assistance of the computer-generated images, explained the level of visibility of the proposed upper level and the context in which the building appears at each location. The locations were from Darling Street, looking east and west, Nicholson Street and the street on the southern side of Darling Street at the intersection, Johnson Street.

47. The parties’ submissions were commendably short, each referring to the provisions of the LEP and the DCP and summarizing helpfully the evidence from their experts.

Discussion

51. The question is whether the building is compatible with the desired future character of the area in relation to its bulk, form and scale. Compatibility means capable of existing in harmony (Project Venture Developments v Pittwater Council (2005) 141 LGERA 80; [2005] NSWLEC 191).

52. In this heritage context, the “test” or outcome was described variously by witnesses as : the building should be subservient to the existing two storey form and parapet (Milotic); the extension should be sympathetic to the two storey character of existing built form (Croft); recessive within envelope and well-mannered (Davies); read as two storeys with a third storey as a recessive contemporary element (Davies).

53. In my view those expressions are each an appropriate way of describing the outcome required to be achieved by an addition to this property. They are consistent with the statements of objectives in the DCP. The expressions however do little to identify how that outcome is to be achieved, or the specific way of determining whether the outcome has been achieved.

54. Whilst there is an element of subjective decision making in this process – deciding what is “sympathetic” for example – the strongest guidance comes from the controls in the DCP. It is the controls which set the parameters for compatibility, or existing in harmony.

55. I will first identify the characteristics of the existing building, second the relevant controls and then determine whether or not the proposal meets the controls. It will be apparent that I generally agree with the conclusions of Mr Croft for the reasons which I outline..

56. The principal characteristics of the existing building are its two storey presentation to Darling Street and the parapet, including importantly the highlight element on the corner. I would also include the two storey presentation along Nicholson Street for that part which includes the parapet on that frontage.

57. The controls which are not merely an expression of the desirable outcome are summarised below. It is compliance with these controls which leads to compatibility with the desired future character of the area.

58. The overall form of alterations and additions shall have regard to the provisions within Appendix B – Building Typologies of this Development Control Plan (section 1.3, Control C1). In Appendix B the controls in relation to Corner Shops which are relevant are:

• Development shall retain and enhance the original characteristics of corner shops;

• A vertical addition should not interrupt a clear view of the skyline about the parapet when viewed from across the primary street or when viewed obliquely from the footpath;

• A vertical addition should not detract from the appearance of the building along the secondary street.

59. Rooftop additions higher than the building wall height, if permitted, are to be set back from the front of the building to preserve the traditional scale of development and streetscape (Control C8 Darling Street Distinctive Neighbourhood).

60. The historic two storey scale of development and significant additions should respect the existing context of the streetscape in terms of scale, meaning size.

61. The appearance of the proposal is perceived in a variety of locations and is dynamic – that is, plainly enough, it will be seen differently or not at all depending on the location of the viewer. Also, the viewer appreciating the streetscape is not to be assumed to be in any particular location, not fixed on that location. Hence, the Court was taken to a number of locations. Not all locations are equal – the appearance in the principal streetscape (Darling Street) for example is the most important, although the DCP also directs attention to the appearance from the secondary street (here Nicholson Street).

62. When viewed from directly opposite in Darling Street, the addition is barely visible. The parapet above the two storey appearance remains the dominant presentation. So too as one walks from further down (east) Darling Street up towards to the Site, on either side of the street.

63. From Johnson Street too, the parapet and two storey appearance remain intact.

64. The difficulty for the Applicant principally arises from the appearance of the building from the west in Darling Street, locations which are higher than the Site given that Darling Street rises to the west.

65. The proposal loses the dominance of the parapet and two storey appearance when viewed from Darling Street on its southern side and to the west of the Site. The skyline above the parapet is interrupted, contrary to the building typology control, and the appearance of the additional level is clearly a third level failing to respect the two storey character of the streetscape. The original characteristic of the dominating parapet is neither retained nor enhanced; it is compromised by the very apparent third level, contrary to the building typology control. Whilst it is set back from Darling Street, the addition is perceived as different in scale from the historic two storey scale.

66. The proposal therefore fails to be compatible with the desired future character of the area, the critical test in clause 4.4A of the LEP.

67. The two main contributors in the design to that failure are the height of the proposal and its setback to Darling Street. The design does not sufficiently take into account the topography of the rising Darling Street, exposing more of the addition that might otherwise be the case. It is not a question of visibility, but rather the height and perceived closeness to the parapet. One cannot say that it is not possible to design a third level which is satisfactory. A lowering of the upper level together with an increased setback is theoretically possible to be satisfactory, but it is not the Court’s role to provide the parameters for any future design.

68. The computer image below assists in identifying why in my opinion the present proposal is unsatisfactory. The image is not necessarily to the scale of the eye of a viewer, and it is but one location. It is an image created from west of the Site in Darling Street on its southern side. It shows the addition above the parapet not allowing the parapet to be viewed in its original way and therefore is not consistent with the two storey scale and character required by the DCP to reflect the desired future character. The addition is too high and does not allow the whole of the wrap around parapet to be properly read.

69. That is enough to dispose of the appeal, but I should make an observation of the appearance of the proposal from Nicholson Street. Much of the addition is visible from Nicholson Street, which is the secondary street. The separate question posed by the DCP (apart from desired future character) is whether the vertical addition detracts from the appearance of the building when viewed from Nicholson Street.

70. Whilst this is a matter of fine judgment, I tend to the view that the addition is too close to the main part of the original building and is too high so that the addition does detract from the appearance of the building. Whilst it is contemporary in form, the addition tends to be overbearing rather than subservient when viewed from Nicholson Street. That said, it is possible that the measures to overcome the issues with the appearance from Darling Street may resolve the Nicholson Street issues too.

Conclusion

71. The application must be dismissed because the alterations and additions are not compatible with the desired future character of the area. Accordingly the proposal does not have the benefit of the “bonus” FSR in clause 4.4A of the LEP. The applicable FSR is therefore 1:1. It was, correctly, the parties’ common position that if the proposal failed the clause 4.4A test then development consent must be refused.

72. There is no need to deal with the “view loss” issues as in any event they were not determinative if the proposal passed the desired future character test, and having regard to my findings do not need to be explored as part of the question of desired future character and view sharing.

73. I make the following orders:

1. The appeal is dismissed;

2. Development Application DA/2018/515 for alterations and additions to an existing two storey mixed use building including renovation of first floor building and a new second floor including a lift at Lot 5 DP 431011 known as 49 Darling Street, Balmain East is determined by refusal; and

3. The exhibits other than Exhibits A, B and 2 be returned.
