JUDGMENT10600 of 2010 Paul Ian Montgomery v Byron Shire Council
1 COMMISSIONER: This matter comes before the Court for consent orders in relation to Development Application DA10.2009.297.1 for the relocation and modification of an existing dwelling and the two lot strata subdivision of the property at 8 Park Street, New Brighton (the site).
2 With the agreement of the parties, the hearing was conducted as an On Site Hearing and the judgement reflects the relevant parts of the Statement of Facts and Contentions, the evidence and the findings given on-site.
3 The site is Lot 312 in DP 755687. It is rectangular in shape with a frontage of 20.115 m to Park Street and a depth of 50.292 m giving a site area of 1012 sq m. An A- framed residential dwelling is located centrally on the site. The site is within Zone 7(f2)(Urban Coastal Land Zone) under Byron Local Environmental Plan 1980 (LEP 1988).
4 The development application provides that proposed Lot 2 will have an area of 506 sq m and be located at the eastern (or rear) part of the site. Lot 2 will contain the existing relocated and modified dwelling currently located on the site. Lot 1 will have an area of 405 sq m and will have a frontage to Park Street. The common property is to comprise a 4 m wide strip along part of the southern boundary to provide access from Park Road to Lot 2.
5 In accordance with the Court’s Practice Note – Class 1 Development Appeals, par 36, provides in part, that:
- 36. Any application for consent final orders in development appeals will be listed before the Court for determination. The parties will be required to present such evidence as is necessary to allow the Court to determine whether it is lawful and appropriate to grant the consent or approval having regard to the whole of the relevant circumstances, including the proposed conditions. The consent authority will be required to demonstrate that relevant statutory provisions have been complied with and that any objection by any person has been properly taken into account. Additionally, the consent authority will be required to demonstrate that it has given reasonable notice to all persons who objected to the proposal….
6 In response to the Practice Note, Mr Seton provided a bundle of relevant documentation from the council including LEP 1998 and Byron Development Control Plan 2002, Part B, Subdivision (DCP 2002). Having heard from Mr Seton on the relevant provisions of LEP 1998 and DCP 2002, I accept there are is no legal basis that would preclude the Court from granting the consent orders. I note that the only departure from LEP 1998 and DCP 2002 relates to a breach of the Building Height Plane in Part C2.5 of DCP 2002. The extent of the departure was marked on the application plans and showed a very small breach at the top end of each gable. Notwithstanding the departure, I can comfortably conclude that the element objectives are easily satisfied.
7 The Court’s Practice Note also makes provision for an objector to the development to be heard in the Court’s consideration of the consent orders. In this regard, a resident of Gaggan Street, provided evidence of her opposition to the proposed development. Gaggan Street runs parallel to Park Street to the east with common rear boundaries to properties in Park Street. The issues raised by the objector relate to:
- an unacceptable change to the character of the area created by the proposed subdivision,
- the existing road infrastructure is inadequate for the increased population, and
- the effect of flooding on the site.
8 With the benefit of the site view, cadastral documentation provided by the council including aerial photographs with property boundaries, I am satisfied that the proposed subdivision is not inconsistent with the general subdivision pattern in New Brighton. While there are a number of lots that have a similar size and configuration to the subject site, there are also a number of lots that have been subdivided to create lots of a similar size proposed in this application. The subdivision layout could be generally described as mixed but with a predominance of larger lots similar to the site however given that there are no minimum lot sizes for strata subdivision, it would be unreasonable refuse the application on the basis that the character of the area would be unacceptably affected.
9 In my view it would also be unreasonable to refuse the application on the basis of additional traffic given that the application does not propose an additional dwelling on the site although it could reasonably be contemplated in the future. Even if another dwelling is erected on Lot 1, the impacts on traffic and the road network would be minimal, at best.
10 In terms of flooding, the proposed relocated dwelling will be raised above the existing identified flood level identified by the council and again, this issue would not be a reason to refuse the application.
11 Having heard from the objector to the proposed development and an explanation from Mr Seton on the compliance with the relevant statutory requirements, I am satisfied that there is no reason why the consent orders should not be made.
12 The orders of the Court, by consent, are:
- 1. The Appeal is upheld.
2. Development Application DA10.2009.297.1 for a two (2) lot strata subdivision of and the relocation and redesign of the existing dwelling house on the land known as Lot 312 DP 755687, 8 Park Street, New Brighton, is approved subject to the conditions in Annexure “A”.
3. The exhibits are returned with the exception of exhibits 1, 4 and A.
