5.2 Summary of Submissions

Issue Conclusion Section Submission #1 1) Parking is already difficult in this area. Our friends find it difficult to park when they visit us. There are NO parking spaces attached to the restaurant. I do not have a parking space at my house so I have to drive around looking for parking, and end up parking a block away as it is. Our friends find it virtually impossible to get a space. Our plumber, electrician etc. can't find parking easily as it is, and this is so for our neighbours. Sometimes tradesmen refuse to come to this location.

Parking is subject to sign-posted parking restrictions which encourage turnover in on-street parking. A resident parking permit scheme also operates in this location.

N/A

2) There are two hotels which are close by, the Four in Hand and the other one close by in Hargrave St and Lucios Restaurant in Elizabeth St. There is already enough pressure on parking spaces and noise from these three establishments which negatively affect us, and the extra hours from Guillaumes will cause more noise noise and parking pressure.

Parking is subject to sign-posted parking restrictions which encourage turnover in on-street parking. A resident parking permit scheme also operates in this location. In terms of noise, condition I.2 of the original consent restricts that the use of the premises must not give rise to the transmission of offensive noise. In addition, condition I.5, I.6 and I.8 have been recommended to ensure that noise will be properly monitored. Furthermore, condition A.5 has been recommended requiring an 18 month trial period for the proposed new Sunday hours of use.

14 & 17

3) When people whistle loudly for a cab as they leave the restaurant, it is very noisy for us. They may behave nicely in the restaurant but when they leave they hoot and whistle and call out for cabs. This has a negative effect on our quiet enjoyment of our homes. Longer hours from G's will make this worse.

In terms of noise, condition I.2 of the original consent restricts that the use of the premises must not give rise to the transmission of offensive noise. In addition, condition I.5, I.6 and I.8 have been recommended to ensure that noise will be properly monitored. Furthermore, condition A.5 has been recommended requiring an 18 month trial period for the proposed new Sunday hours of use.

14 & 17

4) There are so many people wanting cabs that people often run onto the road to get the cab first, which is dangerous to motorists and to themselves. As they may also have been drinking with their meal this is also an added danger. Longer hours; more of this.

Pedestrians are required to obey the Australian Road Rules at law otherwise penalty infringement notices may be issued.

Issue Conclusion Section 5) The patrons who stand on the upstairs balcony disturb us. As it faces Hargrave St the noise travels down the road with no houses to absorb the sound. The extra hours mean more people more noise. Normal conversations carry down the road surprisingly far.

In terms of noise, condition I.2 of the original consent restricts that the use of the premises must not give rise to the transmission of offensive noise. In addition, condition I.5, I.6 and I.8 have been recommended to ensure that noise will be properly monitored. Furthermore, condition A.5 has been recommended requiring an 18 month trial period for the proposed new Sunday hours of use.

14 & 17

6) The extra noise from calling out to taxis, and people on the balcony and the noise of their leaving from Monday to Saturday till MIDNIGHT is unfair to us.

The proposed modification of trading hours will have no change to Monday to Saturday.

N/A

7) This restaurant is not for locals. People from other suburbs are dining for special occasions.

This is not a relevant planning matter pursuant to s79C of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979.

N/A

8) Due to the formality and expense it would not be a place to take my nieces and nephews and children of friends.

This is not a relevant planning matter pursuant to s79C of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979.

N/A

9) The crashing from the large crate of bottles being emptied carries a long way. We can hear it in our house with the doors shut.The extra hours means more noise from bottles being emptied into the removal truck.

In terms of noise, condition I.2 of the original consent restricts that the use of the premises must not give rise to the transmission of offensive noise. In addition, condition I.5, I.6 and I.8 have been recommended to ensure that noise will be properly monitored. Furthermore, condition A.5 has been recommended requiring an 18 month trial period for the proposed new Sunday hours of use.

14 & 17

10) The delivery and pick up vans for linen and food etc. frequently park in the no parking zone, or on the bus stop; sometimes the vans double park or park partly on the road which is already dangerous. This means cars have to go around them onto the other side of the road.

Drivers required to obey the Australian Road Rules at law otherwise penalty infringement notices may be issued.

N/A

11) Road safety - I have had experience of putting the brakes on hard a number of times in order to avoid a pedestrian stepping out suddenly. Longer hours, more deliveries could be dangerous for this reason.

Drivers required to obey the Australian Road Rules at law otherwise penalty infringement notices may be issued.

N/A

13) Woollahra council is aware of the parking problem, and allowing trees to be cut down to make space for car ports. Paddington once was leafy with birds and possums. Each change has a knock on effect.

This is not relevant to the proposed modifications. N/A

Submission #2 This is the mentality and philosophy of the residents of Woollahra and Paddington. I can see and hear enough drunk people leaving restaurants and bars on Sunday afternoon in the streets of Woollahra and Paddington from the Four in Hand for example and others. I wouldn't like to be bother by more of them and getting closer.

The site benefits from existing use rights. Refer to sub-section 12 for further details. In terms of noise, condition I.2 of the original consent restricts that the use of the premises must not give rise to the transmission of offensive noise. In addition, condition I.5, I.6 and I.8 have been recommended to ensure that noise will be properly monitored. Furthermore, condition A.5 has been recommended requiring an 18 month trial period for the proposed new Sunday hours of use.

Issue Conclusion Section Also, they take their bins out at the end of each shift which is quite noisy. We can deal with it from Tuesday to Saturday but I would like to avoid this on Sundays.

9. The suitability of the site 10. Any submissions 11. The public interest 10. ADVERTISING AND NOTIFICATION 10.1 Submissions The application was advertised and notified from 08/07/2015 to 22/07/2015 in accordance with Chapters A2.2.1, A2.3.1 and A2.8 of the Woollahra DCP 2015. 2 submissions were received from: 1. Genevieve Wensley & Laurel Fox 67 Hargrave Street PADDINGTON NSW 2021 2. David P – By email Refer to sub-section 5.2 for further details. 10.2 Statutory Declaration The applicant has completed the statutory declaration dated 23/07/2015 declaring that the site notice for DA520/2013/2 was erected and maintained during the notification period in accordance with Chapter A2.3.5 of the Woollahra DCP 2015. 11. SYDNEY REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN (SYDNEY HARBOUR

CATCHMENT) 2005 The land is within the Sydney Harbour catchment but is outside the Foreshores and Waterways Area and therefore there are no specific matters for consideration. 12. WOOLLAHRA LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN 2014 No. 92 Hargrave Street, Paddington is located in the R2 Low Density Residential zone pursuant to the Woollahra LEP 2014. The R2 Low Density Residential zone prohibits the site being used as a restaurant; however, Council records indicate the site benefits from existing use rights having regard to a lawfully commenced non-residential use and Cl.106 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979. Council records detail the following non-residential planning history inter alia: DA 697/2000/1 – Extension of trading hours during the Olympic period – Refused 18/09/2013

(However, existing use rights are noted), and DA 873/1982/1 – Alterations and additions detailing existing restaurant – Approved

27/09/1982. Accordingly, the proposal is lawful when taking into account the fact that existing use rights has been established and has been in operation continuously. 13. WOOLLAHRA DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2015 Due to the nature of the proposed modification being restricted to the hours of use of the existing restaurant with no works proposed, a compliance table is not applicable in this case.

14. THE LIKELY IMPACTS OF THE MODIFIED PROPOSAL – EXTENDED HOURS OF USE TO SUNDAY

14.1 Intensification of Use – Compliance Officer’s Comments Council’s Compliance Officer has reviewed the proposed Sunday hours of use and provides:

“The proposal seeks to modify the approved hours of operation to include Sunday trading from 11am to 5pm, to cater for lunch time trade only. The premises have been operating as a licensed restaurant since 1968. The previous restaurant operated for 38 years without any issues or complaints. The current restaurant has been operating for more than a year from Monday to Saturday without any noise disturbance complaints, demonstrating that it can co-exist favourably in a predominantly residential neighbourhood. It is unlikely that the Sunday trading hours would give rise to any adverse impact on the neighbourhood in terms of noise and anti-social behaviour.”

14.2 Intensification of Use – Planning Principle In assessing the impact of intensification of the existing use, being a licensed restaurant, this assessment has regard to the case law established by Randall Pty Ltd v Leichhardt Council [2004] NSWLEC 277 which has established a two-step assessment process for the extension or intensification of a use. Assessment of the existing use – First, is the impact of the operation of the existing use on residential amenity acceptable? As discussed above Council has not received any complaints as confirmed by Council’s Compliance Officer. This demonstrates that the impact of the existing use on residential amenity is acceptable. Impact of the proposed extension or intensification – Second, if the answer is yes, is the impact of the proposed extension or intensification still acceptable? The proposed addition of Sunday hours of use is proposed from 11am to 5pm. It should be noted that it is not uncommon for cafes, restaurants and licensed premises to trade on Sunday’s within the suburb of Paddington. Notwithstanding this, the Plan of Management submitted by the applicant deliberates on the following matters: Hours of operation, Patron numbers, Litter patrols, Register dealing with complaints, Enforcing no entry after 11.45pm, Only granting access to patrons that have made a booking, Supervision of arriving and departing patrons, Erection of signage reminding patrons to consider the acoustic amenity of neighbours, Free taxi call for patrons provided, All doors and windows closed after 10pm,

AAP_20150818_573_483_1 12

No-one will be permitted to access the balcony after 10pm, No live music, Max number of people on balcony at one limited to 6 people – No chairs on balcony, Deliveries to be conducted between 12 noon and 5pm, Suppliers will be advised not to park in the bus zone on Hargrave Street, Paddington, Video surveillance is in operation, RSA measures applied and enforced, Restaurant staff under the supervision of senior management staff, Licensee to liase with NSW Police Force – Rose Bay Local Area Command in the event of

any anti-social behaviour, and Education and training of staff provided. The Plan of Management is considered to be well founded and will ensure the restaurant has an acceptable impact on the residential amenity. Refer to the following conditions: A.4 ‘Approved (s96) supporting documents’, I.8 ‘Operation in Accordance with Plan of Management (POM)’. 14.3 Similar Licensed Premises in the Vicinity The site is located within the vicinity of the following non-residential uses (restaurant/ licensed premises uses) located within the R2 Low Density Residential zone: Four in Hand Hotel being a licensed premises and restaurant located at 105 Sutherland Street,

Paddington, and Lucios being a licensed restaurant located at 47 Windsor St, Paddington. The Four in Hand Hotel trades on Sunday’s, however, it is considered to have limited relevance to the assessment of this s96 application by virtue of its size and the fact that it is a licensed pub with a restaurant. Lucios is a licensed restaurant which does not trade on Sunday’s and is considered to have more relevance to the assessment of this s96 application. As Lucios does not trade on Sundays there is limited information concerning the actual impact of trading on Sunday’s within the R2 Low Density Residential zone in this location. Accordingly, condition A.5 ‘Time Limited Consent (Use)’ is recommended and includes a trial period of 18 months. 14.4 Conclusion In view of the above, the restaurant is therefore considered to be properly managed and the proposed Sunday trading is not considered to result in any unacceptable amenity impacts to the nearby residential properties such that amendment or refusal of the proposed Sunday hours of use would be justified. Notwithstanding this, condition I.2 of the original consent restricts that the use of the premises must not give rise to the transmission of offensive noise. In addition, condition I.5, I.6 and I.8 have been recommended to ensure that noise will be properly monitored. Furthermore, condition A.5 has been recommended requiring an 18 month trial period for the proposed new Sunday hours of use.

15. THE PUBLIC INTEREST The proposed modification is considered to be in the public interest. 16. DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS There have been no disclosure statements regarding political donations or gifts made to any Councillor or to any council employee associated with this application by the applicant or any person who made a submission. 17. RECOMMENDATION Pursuant to Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 THAT the Council, as the consent authority, modify development consent to Development Application No. 520/2013 for internal alterations to existing restaurant and addition to adjacent dwelling including two-story extension to side boundary and internal alterations on land at 92 Hargrave Street Paddington, subject to the following: Condition I.1 being modified to read as follows: I.1 Hours of use

more onerous than these general hours of use. This condition does not apply to activities such as cleaning which takes place wholly within the building and which are not audible within any adjoining residential dwelling. If internal activities are audible within any adjoining residential dwelling such that they cause a nuisance to the occupiers of such dwelling than such internal activities must not occur outside these hours of use. This condition does not restrict the operation of noise pollution laws.

Standard Condition: I1 The following additional conditions being added: A.4 Approved Amended (s96) Plans and supporting documents

Those acting upon or under this amended consent must carry out all work and maintain the use and works in accordance with the approved plans and supporting documents listed in the original consent, as amended by the amended approved plans and supporting documents as submitted by the Applicant and to which is affixed a Council stamp “Approved Section 96 Plans” listed below otherwise than modified by further condition(s).

REFERRAL RESPONSE FILE NO: DA 520/2013/2 ADDRESS: 92 Hargrave Street PADDINGTON 2021 PROPOSAL: Modification of Condition I.1 relating to hours of operation to

accommodate trading on Sunday: Proposed hours Monday to Saturday 12 noon to 12 midnight & Sunday 11am to 5pm

FROM: M Easton, Compliance Officer TO: Mr A Gilderdale The proposal seeks to modify the approved hours of operation to include Sunday trading from 11am to 5pm, to cater for lunch time trade only. The premises have been operating as a licensed restaurant since 1968. The previous restaurant operated for 38 years without any issues or complaints. The current restaurant has been operating for more than a year from Monday to Saturday without any noise disturbance complaints, demonstrating that it can co-exist favourably in a predominantly residential neighbourhood. It is unlikely that the Sunday trading hours would give rise to any adverse impact on the neighbourhood in terms of noise and anti-social behaviour. M Easton Compliance Officer
