Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 2
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne – 340/16
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This development application seeks Council’s approval for alterations and additions to the
existing residential flat building, including internal reconfiguration and refurbishment of the four
existing apartments, expansion of the existing ground floor level to provide a new 2 bedroom
apartment, and construction of a 3 bedroom dwelling house towards the rear of the site. The
existing carport is to be removed, and the concrete platform replaced and expanded to provide
two x 2 car stackers. Strata subdivision is also being sought.
The application is referred to NSIPP due to public and Councillor interest. Council’s notification
of the original proposal has attracted three submissions raising particular concerns about
stormwater, setback, scale, privacy and parking. Amended plans were submitted on 28 November
2016 increasing the size of the four existing apartments to be compliant with the Apartment
Design Guide (ADG) and to increase the proposed parking from 2 spaces to 4 spaces. The
amended plans were notified and no further submissions were received. The assessment has
considered the concerns raised as well as the performance of the application against Council’s
planning requirements. It is noted that the proposal relies on existing use rights to succeed.
Following this assessment the development application is considered to be reasonable in the
circumstances and is recommended for approval subject to conditions.

Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 4
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
The proposed development comprises alterations and additions to the existing residential flat
building, including internal reconfiguration and refurbishment of the four existing one bedroom
apartments to make them two bedroom apartments, expansion of the existing ground floor level
to provide a new 2 bedroom apartment, and construction of a 3 bedroom dwelling house towards
the rear of the site.
The existing carport is to be removed, and the concrete platform replaced and expanded to
provide for two x 2 uncovered car stackers.
The existing walkway at the street frontage is being adjusted to make provision for bin storage,
and pedestrian pathways extend to the rear of the site to access the new apartment and dwelling
house.
The balconies of the existing apartments are being reconstructed and widened to improve their
useability, and the new apartment at the ground floor level includes a timber deck extending
to/from the main living room.
The proposed dwelling house accommodates the main living rooms and one bedroom at the
ground floor level, and two bedrooms in a partial first floor level. The yard area has been
designed to provide private open space, extending to/from the main living rooms.
The proposed development includes the removal of a number of trees from the site.
The proposed development incudes the re-subdivision of the site into six x Strata Title
allotments, with the individual allotments reflecting the physical configuration of the proposed
development.

DESCRIPTION OF LOCALITY
The subject site formally comprises Lots 1-4 in Strata Plan No. 9110. The site is located on the
western side of Macpherson Street, between Ellalong Road to the north and Fernhurst Avenue to
the south. The site has an area of approximately 853.6m² and is generally rectangular in shape
with a frontage of 15.24 metres to Macpherson Street.
The site generally falls from the street frontage, with a maximum level change of approximately
13 metres. The existing vegetation on the site comprises a scattering of trees, shrubs and
groundcovers located beyond the footprint of the existing improvements.
The site is currently occupied by a 2 - 3 storey residential flat building accommodating 4 x l
bedroom apartments located towards the street frontage with a single carport.
To the north is a detached dwelling house and a single width carport between the dwelling and
the northern boundary. To the south is a residential flat building accommodating four apartments.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 6
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
A detached dwelling house effectively occupies the rear yard area, accessed via a shared
driveway extending from Ellalong Road to the west.
The site is located within an established residential precinct characterised by a diverse mix of
detached dwellings and residential flat buildings.

RELEVANT HISTORY
The existing residential flat building was constructed around 1930. Although a consent could not
be located for the subject site, a consent was located for the adjoining site to the south for a block
of four self contained flats that were approved on 17 July 1930. The flats on the subject site are
almost identical in design and layout to the approved flats at 100 Macpherson Street.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 8
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
The subject flats were strata titled as four flats in 1975. In 1975, the site was zoned 2(a)
Residential and flats were permissible. The building has been continuously used since at least
1975 as four flats. Existing use rights have been established with the strata plan alone.
The subject application was lodged on 10 October 2016. The original proposal included a car pad
for two car spaces to replace the existing carport. A stop the clock letter was sent on 14 October
2016 seeking additional information with regard to the history of the site, a Basix for the
proposed dwelling and a BCA report. The additional information was received on the 4
November 2016. The applicant was requested to respond to concerns raised by submitters about
stormwater and car parking. Amended plans were submitted on 28 November 2016 and 9
December 2016 increasing the size of the four existing apartments to be compliant with the
Apartment Design Guide (ADG) and to increase the proposed parking from 2 spaces to 4 spaces.
Additional information was submitted in support of the proposed stormwater works. The
amended plans are the subject of this assessment report.
REFERRALS
Building
The proposal would have to comply with the Building Code of Australia. A condition can be
imposed to ensure compliance.
Engineering/Stormwater Drainage
Council’s Development Assessment Engineer (Z Cvetkovic) has raised no objections and
recommended a number of conditions should consent be granted.
Landscaping
Council’s Landscape Development Officer (B Smith) has provided the following comments:
I have inspected the property in relation to its proposed redevelopment and the following
observations were made and recommendations provided.
All trees and vegetation on-site are weed species, or insignificant shrubs.
There is a mature Silky Oak on the adjoining property that should not be affected by the
works. I don’t believe an Arborists report providing protective measures is necessary. I
recommend a simple Condition noting that “all care shall be taken to protect trees on
adjoining properties.
The Landscape plans looks O.K
There are no street trees affected outside the property nor the opportunity to plant one as
the footpath is not wide enough
In conclusion I raise no objections to approval of the DA as submitted, approve the landscape
plan and just include the Special permits condition.
SUBMISSIONS
The owners of adjoining properties and the Willoughby Bay Precinct were notified of the original
proposed development on 21 October 2016. The notification resulted in the following
submissions.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 9
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Basis of Submissions
Inadequate parking with 2 spaces for 6 units
Parking problem in area as there are other apartments in close proximity with no parking
Adequacy of stormwater drainage
Request Council ensure proposed volume is adequate for 1 in 100 storm
Size and scale of development appears to exceed site coverage requirements.
OSD and absorption bed seem inadequate, easement should be created if neighbours were to
agree
The addition of two storey dwelling does not conform with established rear setbacks or the
subdivision pattern
Privacy. The proposed ground floor is RL47.58 and the top of the boundary fence is RL47.5.
Rear yard and downstairs living is RL45.65.
Request that planting along boundary be mature. Proposed louvres on first floor bedroom
should be fixed and angled to remove sight line
Inadequate parking with only 2 spaces for 6 units
Outdoor lighting spillage should be controlled to not impact on our living areas at night.
Council’s Development Assessment Engineer has provided comments with regard to the
stormwater concerns raised:
The proposed solution for stormwater drainage from lower parts of proposed building are
not perfect but only possible and in accordance to our policy. The pumping out won’t be
allowed.
According to proposed stormwater concept plan, backed by our conditions, stormwater
runoff is not going directly into absorption system but via OSD system which will reduce
stormwater runoff intensity even more than it is currently from pre-development setup.
The perfect solution will be if the owner of 47 Ellalong Road would allow drainage from
uphill development through property via stormwater inter-allotment easement (which may
be established. All cost of running pipe within that easement and registration of that
easement must be raised by developer from 102 McPherson Street. I cannot see any other
option except of refusing this DA.
The applicant has been unsuccessful in negotiations for an easement. The applicant submitted the
following advice from their Hydraulic Consultant:
We Certify,
That the new Storm Water disposal has been designed such that all existing roofs-
previously discharging on the backyard and via uncontrolled overland flow through
downstream property-- are now discharging to the street gutter in Macpherson Street and
new house roof discharge is limited via onsite detention.
Therefore the discharge of overland flow has been reduced significantly:
For 100 year ARI - from 58 l/s to 19 l/s
For 5 year ARI - from 34l/s to 12l/s
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 10
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Amended plans were submitted on 28 November 2016 and 9 December 2016 increasing the size
of the four existing apartments to be compliant with the Apartment Design Guide (ADG) and to
increase the proposed parking from 2 spaces to 4 spaces.
The owners of adjoining properties and the Willoughby Bay Precinct were notified of the
amended proposed development on 9 December 2016. The notification resulted in no further
submissions.
CONSIDERATION
The relevant matters for consideration under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and
Assessment Act 1979, are assessed under the following headings:
The application has been assessed against the relevant numeric controls in NSLEP 2013 and DCP
2013 as indicated in the following compliance tables. More detailed comments with regard to the
major issues are provided later in this report.
NSLEP 2013 Compliance Table
Principal Development Standards – North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013
Site Area – 853.6m² Proposed Control Complies
Clause 4.3 – Heights of Building 10m 8.5m NO
DCP 2013 Compliance Table
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013 – Part B Section 1- Residential Development
complies Comments
1.2 Social Amenity
Maintaining Residential Accommodation Yes The existing flats are retained and extended in addition to
two additional dwellings
Affordable Housing NA The existing flats are not affordable housing as they have
been strata subdivided and generally owner occupied.
1.3 Environmental Criteria
Topography Yes The finished ground levels beyond the footprint of the
building are generally within 500mm of existing ground
level
Views Yes No views are affected by the proposed works
Solar Access Yes All of the apartments (100%) and the dwelling house
will receive in excess of 3 hours of sunlight between
9am and 3pm ln midwinter. Further, the adjoining
property to the south will continue to receive in excess
of 3 hours sunlight to the main living rooms and open
space during mid-winter.
None of the apartments, or the dwelling house, have a
sole orientation to the south.
Visual Privacy Yes There are no new window openings in the residential
flat building with the potential to overlook adjoining
properties, and the dwelling house is limited to 2
storeys, with the upper level accommodating bedrooms
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 11
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
1.4 Quality built form
Context Yes The proposed development responds to the constraints
and opportunities of the site
Siting Yes The proposed development responds to the constraints
and opportunities of the site
The residential apartments are accommodated within a
single building form addressing the street, with the
dwelling house located to the rear.
Setback – Side Yes The proposed development maintains the existing front
building setback.
The proposed development maintains the existing side
boundary setbacks of the residential flat building, and
the proposed dwelling house complies with Table B1.5
Setback - Rear Yes The proposed rear boundary setback matches the
alignment of the adjoining dwelling houses to the
south.
Building Separation No The proposed development maintains the existing side
boundary setbacks of the residential flat building and
the height of the building is not being increased
Form Massing Scale Yes The form of the flat building remains the same to the
street with the building becoming 3 storeys at the rear
without any increase in the overall height of the
building.
Clause 4.3 of the LEP specifies a maximum building
height of 8.5 metres. The building height control does
not apply to the residential flat building due to the
existing use rights. The existing height and proposed
height of the RFB is 10m. The proposed development
maintains the existing pitched roof of the residential
flat building. The proposed dwelling house extends
to a maximum height of 5.8 metres.
Built Form Character Yes Satisfactory
Dwelling Entry Yes The existing window openings orientated towards
Macpherson Street are being retained. The main entry
is clearly identifiable.
Roofs Yes The proposed development maintains the existing
pitched roof of the residential flat building. The
proposed dwelling house adopts a flat roof to minimise
bulk and scale
Materials Yes Satisfactory
Balconies - Apartments Yes All apartments have a usable balcony or terrace with
direct access to the living area.
1.5 Quality Urban Environment
High Quality Residential Accommodation Yes The existing and proposed apartments are generally
compliant with the ADG. 100% of apartments have
good solar access and cross ventilation.
Vehicle Access and Parking No Parking cannot be provided underground as the
existing RFB is retained. The existing single carport
within the front building line is to be replaced with two
uncovered carstackers allowing independent parking
for 4 cars. Although the number of dwellings is being
increased from 4 to 6, the parking will increase from 1
to 4. This means that the 2 new dwellings will be
allocated parking and an additional existing flat will
have parking. The result is that 2 flats will not have
parking compared to the current 3 flats.
Site Coverage Yes The proposed site cover of 44.03% is compliant with
the maximum of 45%.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 12
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Landscape Area Yes The landscaped area of 41.11% is compliant with the
minimum requirement of 40% and the proposed unbuilt
upon area of 14.86% is within the maximum of 15%
Excavation Yes Part of the dwelling and additional apartment are to be
excavated. There is no excavation within 1m from the
boundaries. No excavation is proposed for the car
parking spaces, plant rooms or storage.
Landscaping Yes The proposed development includes the removal of a
number of trees from the site. The trees being removed
are not considered suitably or worthy of retention on
the basis of their limited life expectancy, poor
specimen quality, and/or being noxious weeds. The
proposed development includes the introduction of
extensive new landscaping on the site
Council’s Landscape Development Officer has
supported the tree removal and the proposed plantings.
Private and Communal Open Space No Satisfactory. Communal space not proposed due to
small number of apartments. The new dwelling at the
rear will have the surrounding open space. Adequate
balconies/terrace are provided for the apartments
accessed from living areas with good solar access and
district views.
Garbage Storage Yes Bin store provided within 2m of street at entry.
1.6 Efficient Use of Resources
Energy Efficiency Yes Basix certificates submitted
Stormwater Management Yes Satisfactory subject to conditions. Improvement over
existing.
NORTH SYDNEY LEP 2013
Permissibility within the zone:
The subject site is zoned R2 Low Density under the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan
2013 (NSLEP 2013). The application proposes a residential flat building which is prohibited in
this zone. The dwelling is permissible.
Section 106 - Existing Use Rights of E P & A Act 1979
Notwithstanding such prohibition, if ‘existing use’ rights can be satisfactorily established for the
land affected by the proposed development, then the consent authority may approve a
development application (subject to meeting the relevant requirements applying to existing uses
under Sections 106 -109 of the E P & A Act 1979, the Regulation under the Act, and considering
the impacts of the proposal).
The existing building at 102 Macpherson Street comprises four x one bedroom flats that the
applicant claims were built in the 1930’s. A search of Council’s heritage data base for building
applications from 1930 – 1949 (these records are not complete) only revealed an approval for the
adjacent apartment building at No.100 for four flats almost identical in layout and elevations to
the subject building. This was approved in July 1930. The subject building was strata titled in
1975 showing the four flats as they are today. The strata plan establishes that the property has
existing use rights for a residential flat building.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 13
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Section 107 - Continuance of and Limitation on Existing Use
Section 107 of the E P & A Act 1979 outlines the provisions relating to the continuance of and
limitation on existing use. The site has most likely been continually used as residential flat
buildings without abandonment (at least from 1975 when it was strata titled).
The proposed works involve intensification and rebuilding. The proposal is therefore considered
to satisfy Section 107 of the E P & A Act 1979.
Clauses 42-44 of the E P & A Regulations 2000
Clauses 42-44 of the E P & A Regulations 2000 are also relevant to the proposed development
because these Clauses set out the certain development allowed under existing uses, the matters
for consideration for enlargement, expansion or intensification of existing uses and the consent
requirements for an existing use.
The proposed works involve intensification and rebuilding. The new building works would be
constructed on the land to which the existing use was carried out. The proposal is therefore
considered satisfactory having regard to Clauses 42-44 of the E P & A Regulations 2000
Land and Environment Court Planning Principles - Existing Use Assessments
An assessment has been carried out in accordance with the NSW Land and Environment Court
planning principles in relation to the assessment of development applications based on existing
use rights which were stated by Senior Commissioner Roseth in Fodor Investments v Hornsby
Shire Council (2005).
(a) Principle 1 - How do the bulk and scale (as expressed by height, floor space ratio and
setbacks) of the proposal relate to what is permissible on surrounding sites?
The footprint and the envelope of the residential flat building is basically retained with the rear
alignment being extended by 1.8m. The roof, height (maximum at 10m) and setbacks (2.2m and
3m) remain the same. The ridge height of the building is consistent with its immediate
neighbours.
The proposed dwelling has a height of 5.8m with side setbacks of 2.1m and 2.6m. The building is
excavated into the site and located adjacent to a dwelling that was established following
subdivision of 100 Macpherson Street. The proposed dwelling has a flat concrete roof 2m lower
than the ridge height of its direct neighbour.
The height control in a R2 Low Density Residential zone is 8.5m and setbacks for 2 storey
buildings are 1.5m and 2.5m for 3 storey buildings. There is no floor space ratio control, however
the DCP allows a maximum site cover of 45%.
The proposal relates well to surrounding development. The height variation is with the existing
building with the streetscape scale remaining the same. The setbacks are generally in excess of
the DCP requirement and the proposal is compliant with the site cover control
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 14
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
(b) Principle 2 - What is the relevance of the building in which the existing use takes
place?
The proposed development would continue to be used as a residential flat building albeit with an
intensification of the use. The scale of the building when viewed from the public domain would
remain the same. Parking is currently not available to three of the four flats.
(c) Principle 3 - What are the impacts on adjoining land?
Consideration has been given below to the potential impacts of the proposed development:
Car Parking
The four flats were constructed without any parking. An elevated carport was built at a later date
(shown on the 1975 strata plan) that provided parking for only one of the four flats. The original
plans for the current DA proposed a hardstand for two cars in lieu of the single carport. Although
this increased the parking ratio from 1 for 4 to 2 for 6, there would now be 4 dwellings without
parking. The applicant was advised that this could not be supported and additional parking was
required. In response, the application was amended to provide two uncovered car stackers that
would accommodate 4 cars. This increased the parking ratio to 4 for 6 with only 2 dwellings
without parking. This is an improvement to the existing situation and not considered to warrant a
refusal of the application.
The below ground stacker handles 2 cars per module.
Noise
The proposed development will not cause unacceptable impacts with regard to noise. Appropriate
conditions can be imposed to ensure amenity of the proposed apartments. Construction noise
impacts can be conditioned to minimise disruption to the minimal level practical. The car
stackers will not create excessive noise.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 15
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Environment
The existing ground levels are generally being retained, and normal precautions will be taken
during the construction of the proposed development to ensure there are no adverse impacts in
terms of runoff and water quality. The submitted plans satisfy Council’s Landscape Development
Officer. The excavation is minor involves cutting into the slope down to the level where the end
of the building footprint hits the existing contour.
Views
The proposed building will not impact on any significant views. The building meets Council’s
requirements with regard to site cover and landscaped area. The side setbacks are generally in
excess of Council’s requirement for the R2 zone. The siting of the building is consistent with the
subdivision pattern.
Solar access
All of the apartments (100%) and the dwelling house will receive in excess of 3 hours of sunlight
between 9am and 3pm ln midwinter. Further, the adjoining property to the south will continue to
receive in excess of 3 hours sunlight to the main living rooms and open space during mid-winter.
None of the apartments, or the dwelling house, have a sole orientation to the south. Shadow
diagrams clearly show that the proposal will have minimal impacts. The diagrams are attached to
the report for the Panel’s information.
Privacy
The changes to the existing flats will not increase privacy impacts as there are already balconies
overlooking the rear yard with the main outlook being a district view. There are no new windows
facing the side boundaries.
The proposed dwelling is located at ground level and is 7m from the rear fence and some 16m to
the pool areas of the dwellings to the west. Lilly Pilly screen planting is proposed along the rear
fence. The separation and the screen planting will minimise privacy impacts. The ground floor
living is mainly orientated to the north and the building is cut into the site to minimise privacy
impacts on neighbours and to provide good amenity for the dwelling. The first floor of the
dwelling are bedrooms and vertical privacy louvres are proposed on the western and northern
bedroom windows for solar and privacy control. Elevations below show location of windows and
louvres. The proposal is considered satisfactory and reasonable with regard to privacy impacts.
Materials
The schedule of external materials and finishes includes face brickwork, painted render,
aluminium framed windows and doors, glass balustrades and concrete and metal roofing. The
materials are considered to be generally compatible with the materials used in the locality.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 16
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Streetscape
The proposal retains the existing bulk and scale of the RFB that is consistent with its streetscape.
The removal of the carport will allow more of the original façade to be viewed from the street.
Context
The RFB is in context with its neighbours as demonstrated above. The proposed dwelling is
located in the rear yard. This is consistent with the subdivision pattern of the four blocks directly
south. Two have access to Ellalong Road with the next one having an access handle to
Macpherson Street.
Subdivision of the subject site was not practical due to the retention of the RFB, the steepness of
the block and the topography. The better solution was for strata subdivision to ensure street
access and a parking space.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 17
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Nearmap
Stormwater
The proposal includes OSD and is considered satisfactory. The proposed solution for stormwater
drainage from lower parts of proposed building are not perfect but are possible and in accordance
with Council policy. According to proposed stormwater concept plan, endorsed by Council’s
conditions, stormwater runoff is not going directly into absorption system but via OSD system
which will reduce stormwater runoff intensity even more than it is currently from pre-
development situation. The perfect solution would be if the owner of 47 Ellalong Road would
allow drainage from uphill development through their property via a stormwater inter allotment
easement. The applicant has been unsuccessful in negotiations for an easement. The applicant
also submitted the following advice from their Hydraulic Consultant:
We Certify,
That the new Storm Water disposal has been designed such that all existing roofs-
previously discharging on the backyard and via uncontrolled overland flow through
downstream property-- are now discharging to the street gutter in Macpherson Street and
new house roof discharge is limited via onsite detention.
Therefore the discharge of overland flow has been reduced significantly:
For 100 year ARI - from 58 l/s to 19 l/s
For 5 year ARI - from 34l/s to 12l/s
Landscaping
Council’s Landscape Development Officer has accepted the landscape plan and recommended
appropriate conditions.

Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
(d) Principle 4 - What is the internal amenity?
The amenity of the apartments is satisfactory with all apartments having in excess of 3 hours of
solar access all having cross ventilation. The amenity of the dwelling is also considered
satisfactory with solar access, cross ventilation and some outlook provided.
Concluding Remarks – Existing Use Right Planning Principles Assessment
The proposal has been assessed against the four planning principles established by the NSW
Land and Environment Court in relation to existing use rights. The proposal is unlikely to result
in any unreasonable amenity impacts to adjoining properties and is considered reasonable for the
site. The siting of the building is acceptable and the breach of the height control is due to the
steepness of the site. Although there is no FSR control under the LEP, the site compares
favourably with what one would expect on a site with a compliant site cover of 45% and
compliance with the other controls of the DCP.
Prescriptive requirements
In accordance with the decision in Fodor Investments v Hornsby Shire Council (2005), the
prescriptive requirements of planning instruments and development control plans cannot be
applied to the assessment of the application as they would detract from the Applicant's existing
use rights. The amended proposal has been assessed against the relevant planning principle and
found to be satisfactory as detailed above.
SEPP 55 and Contaminated Land Management Issues
The subject site has been considered in light of the Contaminated Lands Management Act and it
is considered that as the site has been used for residential purposes for many years, contamination
is unlikely.
SREP (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005
The subject site is not within part of North Sydney that is required to be considered pursuant to
SREP (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005.
SEPP 65
The Policy applies to residential flat building developments of three or more storeys comprising 4
or more self contained dwellings. The policy is a matter for consideration in assessment of
development applications for residential flat buildings.
Nine design principles in SEPP 65.
The policy identifies 9 principles which provide a basis for evaluation of the merit of proposed
designs of residential flat buildings and for preparation of subsequent planning policies and
design guidelines.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 19
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Principle I – Context and Neighbourhood Character
The proposed works to the existing residential flat building are primarily internal, limited to the
replacement of the existing balconies, and otherwise located at the ground floor level,
predominately within the footprint and envelope of the existing building. The proposed works
will have very little impact on the existing neighbourhood character. The proposed development
responds to the context of the site by providing a building form that maintains an appropriate
height, scale and form when viewed from the public domain.
Principle 2 – Built Form and Scale
The building is of an appropriate scale and responds to the existing surrounding development
when viewed from the public domain. The proposed works will have little visual impact when
viewed from the public domain, with the only visible change comprising the replacement of the
carport with an open parking area. The scale of the building remains compatible with the
surrounding development, and the new apartment is located at the ground floor level,
predominately within the footprint and envelope of the existing building. The dwelling is
consistent in its siting and of lesser scale than its neighbours.
Principle 3 - Density
The density of the building is acceptable. The proposal complies with the site cover controls and
does not attempt to maximise the height control. Properties to the south feature infill
development in their rear yards and present a not dissimilar outcome to that presented here.
Principle 4 - Sustainability
The proposed development makes efficient use of natural resources and the adaptive use of the
building. The building also provides for the use of energy efficient building materials and
achieves a compliant BASIX Score. All of the apartments will receive in excess of 3 hours of
sunlight between 9am and 3pm in mid-winter, and all of the apartments will be naturally cross
ventilated.
Principle 5 - Landscape
The proposed development includes the removal of a number of trees from the site. The trees
being removed are not considered worthy of retention on the basis of their limited life
expectancy, poor specimen quality, and/or being noxious weeds. The proposed development
includes the introduction of extensive new landscaping on the site providing a hierarchy of trees,
shrubs and groundcovers. The proposed trees include a Cheese Tree (mature height of 8-10m)
within the setback to Macpherson Street, 2 x Frangipani trees (mature heights of 5m) between the
existing residential flat building and the proposed dwelling house, and a Christmas Bush (mature
height of 5-8m) and Sydney Red Gum (mature height of 15-20m) within the setback to the rear
boundary. The proposed trees are supplemented by a multitude of shrubs and groundcovers,
including continuous plantings are the perimeter of the site of Blueberry Ash, Lilly Pilly and NZ
Christmas Bush.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 20
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
Principle 6 - Amenity
Amenity to the apartments is provided through appropriate room dimensions, sunlight access,
natural ventilation, visual and acoustic privacy, storage, indoor/outdoor space, efficient
layouts/service areas, outlook and access.
Principle 7 - Safety
The proposed development will maintain the existing level of casual surveillance, with improved
pedestrian entrances. The building provides a defined point of entry, and lighting will be used to
highlight the entry during the evenings. Access to the residential entry lobby and pedestrian
pathways will be security controlled
Principle 8 - Housing Diversity and Social Interaction
The proposed development will contribute to the availability and diversity of housing in the
locality. The proposed development provides an appropriate mix of apartments, sizes and type
having regard to the structure of the existing building, and the ability to provide a new apartment
and dwelling housing within a locality serviced by public transport.
Principle 9 - Aesthetics
The design reflects current architectural design and the schedule of finishes is appropriate.
The SEPP requires the consent authority to take into consideration the Apartment Design Guide
(ADG). The proposal satisfies the ADG with regard to the following:
The individual apartments are serviced by private open space accessed directly from the
main living rooms.
The living rooms are located on the external face of the building.
The habitable rooms provide internal floor to ceiling heights of 2.7 metres and the size
and dimensions of the rooms provide good internal amenity.
There are no rooms relying on light wells as a source of daylight.
All of the apartments will receive a minimum of 3 hours sunlight between 9 am and 3 pm
in mid-winter.
All of the apartments will be naturally cross ventilated.
The maximum apartment depth is less than 18 metres to an external opening.
DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2013
Relevant Planning Area (Northern Foreshores Neighbourhood)
The dwelling does not comply with the recommended rear building alignment of 10m under the
character statement. It has a setback of between 5m and 8m to the single storey section. The
neighbouring two storey dwelling has a setback of 9m to its two storey wall. The rear setback of
the other three buildings to the south all have lesser setbacks than No.43A Ellalong Road. The
proposal is considered reasonable because the setback is to the single storey section with the first
floor setback 13m from the rear boundary. The application has been assessed against the relevant
controls in DCP 2013.

Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
SUBMITTERS CONCERNS
Size and scale of development appears to exceed site coverage requirements.
The proposal involves a modest addition to the RFB. The dwelling at the rear is part one, part
two storey and cut into the site. The side setbacks are maintained or exceed DCP requirements
and the proposal is compliant with the site coverage control of 45%. The size and scale of
development are considered reasonable for the subject site.
OSD and absorption bed seem inadequate, easement should be created if neighbours were to
agree
The proposal includes OSD and is considered satisfactory. The proposed solution for stormwater
drainage from lower parts of proposed building are not perfect but are possible and in accordance
with Council policy. According to proposed stormwater concept plan, endorsed by Council’s
conditions, stormwater runoff is not going directly into absorption system but via OSD system
which will reduce stormwater runoff intensity even more than it is currently from pre-
development situation. The perfect solution would be for the owner of 47 Ellalong Road to allow
drainage from uphill development through their property via a stormwater inter allotment
easement. The applicant has been unsuccessful in negotiations for an easement.
The addition of two storey dwelling does not conform with established rear setbacks or the
subdivision pattern.
The dwelling does not comply with the recommended rear building alignment of 10m under the
character statement. It has a setback of between 5m and 8m to the single storey section. The
neighbouring two storey dwelling has a setback of 9m to its two storey wall. The rear setback of
the other three buildings to the south all have lesser setbacks than No.43A Ellalong Road. The
proposal is considered reasonable because the setback is to the single storey section with the first
floor setback 13m from the rear boundary. The proposed dwelling’s location in the rear yard is
consistent with the subdivision pattern of the four blocks directly south. Two have access to
Ellalong Road with the next one having an access handle to Macpherson Street. Subdivision of
the subject site was not practical due to the retention of the RFB and the topography. The better
solution was for strata subdivision to ensure street access and a parking space.
Privacy. Request that planting along boundary be mature. Proposed louvres on first floor
bedroom should be fixed and angled to remove sight line
The proposed dwelling is located at ground level and is 7m from the rear fence and some 16m to
the pool areas of the dwellings to the west. Lilly Pilly screen planting is proposed along the rear
fence. The separation and the screen planting will minimise privacy impacts. The ground floor
living is mainly orientated to the north and the building is cut into the site to minimise privacy
impacts on neighbours and to provide good amenity for the dwelling. The first floor of the
dwelling are bedrooms and vertical privacy louvres are proposed on the western and northern
bedroom windows for solar and privacy control.
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 23
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
The landscape plan indicates a 300mm (45 litre) pot size for the Lilly Pilly screening. This will
provide for a height of about 1100mm. It is often best for a plant to become established on site
for better growth rather than too mature. It is noted that there is already screen planting on the
adjoining neighbour’s land. More mature planting is not considered reasonable or necessary. The
proposed upper level louvres are intended for solar and privacy control. The upper level is used
for bedrooms only. There is close to 30m separation between the proposed dwelling’s upper floor
window and the neighbour’s building to the west. Fixing and angling the louvres is not
considered reasonable or necessary.
Inadequate parking with only 2 spaces for 6 units
The original plans for the current DA proposed a hardstand for two cars in lieu of the single
carport. Although this increased the parking ratio from 1 for 4 to 2 for 6, there would now be 4
dwellings without parking. The applicant was advised that this could not be supported and
additional parking was required. In response, the application was amended to provide two
uncovered car stackers that would accommodate 4 cars. This increased the parking ratio to 4 for 6
with only 2 dwellings without parking. This is an improvement to the existing situation and not
considered to warrant a refusal of the application.
Outdoor lighting spillage should be controlled to not impact on our living areas at night.
Outdoor lighting will be necessary to provide safe access to the two rear dwellings that rely on
side pathways to access the street and parking. However the lighting of outdoor spaces could
cause unreasonable impacts to adjacent residents. Suitable conditions could read as follows:
Outdoor Lighting
C21. All outdoor lighting must comply with, where relevant AS/NZ1158.3: 1999 Pedestrian
Area (Category P) Lighting and AS4282:1997 Control of the Obtrusive Effects of
Outdoor lighting. Details demonstrating compliance with these requirements must be
submitted to the Certifying Authority for approval prior to the issue of any Construction
Certificate. The Certifying Authority must ensure that the building plans and
specifications submitted fully satisfy the requirements of this condition.
(Reason: To maintain the amenity of adjoining land uses)
Outdoor Lighting
I1. Outdoor lighting on rooftop level of the proposed dwelling areas must not be illuminated
between 9:00 pm and 7:00 am.
The design and placement of outdoor lighting generally over stairs, entries and pathways
must:
(a) be directed away from any residential dwelling;
(b) not create a nuisance or negatively affect the amenity of the surrounding
neighbourhood; and
Report of Geoff Mossemenear, Executive Planner Page 24
Re: 102 Macpherson Street Cremorne
(c) be operated by motion sensors after 9:00pm.
(Reason: To ensure residential premises are not affected by inappropriate or
excessive illumination)
CONCLUSION
The proposed development comprises alterations and additions to the existing residential flat
building, including internal reconfiguration and refurbishment of the four (4) existing apartments,
expansion of the existing ground floor level to provide a new 2 bedroom apartment, and
construction of a 3 bedroom dwelling house towards the rear of the site.
The existing residential flat building is an "existing use" pursuant to Section 106 of the Act, and
the proposed "dwelling house" is permissible in the zone with the consent of Council.
The proposed development generally complies with the substantial majority of the applicable
planning controls, including building height, landscaped area, site coverage, unbuilt upon area
and boundary setbacks. Although there is a breach of the height control, a clause 4.6 request is
not required as the RFB enjoys existing use rights.
The proposed development will achieve a good level of internal amenity and is difficult to refuse
being without any significant or adverse impacts on the amenity of surrounding development.
The application is recommended for favourable consideration.

Geotechnical Report
C5. Prior to issue of any Construction Certificate a Geotechnical/Civil Engineering report
must be prepared which addresses at a minimum (but is not limited to) the following:-
a) the type and extent of substrata formations by the provision of a minimum of
four (4) representative bore hole logs which are to provide a full description of
all material from ground surface to 1.0m below the finished basement floor level
and include the location and description of any anomalies encountered in the
profile. The surface and depth of the bore hole logs must be related to Australian
Height Datum;
b) the appropriate means of excavation/shoring in light of point (a) above and
proximity to adjacent property and structures. Potential vibration caused by
method of excavation and potential settlements affecting nearby
footings/foundations must be discussed and mechanisms to ameliorate any such
impacts recommended;
c) the proposed method to temporarily and permanently support the excavation for
the basement adjacent to adjoining property, structures and road reserve if
nearby (full support must be provided within the subject site);
d) the existing groundwater levels in relation to the basement structure, where
influenced;
e) the drawdown effects on adjacent properties (including road reserve), if any, the
basement excavation will have on groundwater together with the appropriate
construction methods to be utilised in controlling groundwater. Where it is
considered there is the potential for the development to create a “dam” for
natural groundwater flows, a groundwater drainage system must be designed to
transfer groundwater through or under the proposed development without a
change in the range of the natural groundwater level fluctuations. Where an
impediment to the natural flow path is constructed, artificial drains such as
perimeter drains and through drainage may be utilised; and
f) recommendations to allow the satisfactory implementation of the works. An
implementation program is to be prepared along with a suitable monitoring
program including control levels for vibration, shoring support, ground level
and groundwater level movements during construction. The implementation
program is to nominate suitable hold points at the various stages of the works
for verification of the design intent before sign-off and before proceeding with
subsequent stages.
The geotechnical report must be prepared by an appropriately qualified consulting
geotechnical/ hydrogeological engineer with previous experience in such investigations
and reporting.

It is the responsibility of the consulting geotechnical/ hydrological specialist to
undertake the appropriate investigations, reporting and specialist recommendations to
ensure a reasonable level of protection to adjacent property and structures both during
and after construction. The report must contain site-specific geotechnical
recommendations and shall specify the necessary hold/inspection points by relevant
professionals as appropriate.
The design principles for the geotechnical report are as follows:
a) no ground settlement or movement is to be induced which is sufficient enough
to cause an adverse impact to adjoining property and/or infrastructure;
b) no changes to the ground water level are to occur as a result of the development
that are sufficient enough to cause an adverse impact to the surrounding
property and infrastructure;
c) no changes to the ground water level are to occur during the construction of the
development that are sufficient enough to cause an adverse impact to the
surrounding property and infrastructure;
d) vibration is to be minimised or eliminated to ensure no adverse impact on the
surrounding property and infrastructure occurs, as a result of the construction of
the development;
e) appropriate support and retention systems are to be recommended and suitable
designs prepared to allow the proposed development to comply with these
Design Principles; and
f) an adverse impact can be assumed to be crack damage as identified within the
relevant Australian Standard for determining such damage.
The report, satisfying the requirements of this condition, must be submitted to the
Certifying Authority for approval prior to the issue of any Construction Certificate.
The professional recommendations, implementation program, monitoring program,
mitigation measures and the like contained in the report must be implemented in full
during the relevant stages of excavation and construction.
(Reason: To ensure the structural integrity of the subject site and adjoining sites
during the excavation process)
Sediment Control
C6. Where construction or excavation activity requires the disturbance of the soil surface
or existing vegetation, erosion and sediment control techniques, as a minimum, are to
be in accordance with the publication Managing Urban Stormwater: Soils &
Construction (4th edition, Landcom, 2004) commonly referred to as the “Blue Book”
or a suitable and effective alternative method.

construction.
All works must be undertaken in accordance with the approved Sediment Control plan.
The Certifying Authority must ensure that the building plans and specifications
submitted, referenced on and accompanying the issued Construction Certificate, fully
satisfy the requirements of this condition.
(Reason: To protect the environment from the effects of sedimentation and
erosion from development sites)
Work Zone
C7. If a Work Zone is proposed, an application must be made to the North Sydney Local
Traffic Committee to install the ‘Work Zone’. A Work Zone permit is required to be
issued by the Council prior to the issue of any Construction Certificate.
Work Zones are provided specifically for the set down and pick up of materials and not
for the parking of private vehicles associated with the site. Works Zones will generally
not be approved where there is sufficient space on-site for the setting down and picking
up of goods being taken to or from a construction site. If the Works Zone is approved
by the Committee, the Applicant must obtain a written copy of the related resolution
from the North Sydney Local Traffic Committee and submit a copy of this to the
Certifying Authority to enable issue of the Construction Certificate.
Where approval of the ‘Work Zone’ is given by the Committee, the requirements of the
Committee, including installation of the necessary ‘Work Zone’ signage and payment
of any fees, must occur prior to commencement of any works on the site. Further, at the
expiration of the Work Zone approval, the developer is required to remove the Work
Zone signs and reinstate any previous signs, all at the developer's cost. The
requirements imposed by the Committee on the Work Zone permit (or permits) must
be complied with at all times.
(Reason: Amenity and convenience during construction)

Obtain Driveway Crossing Permit and associated works permit
C8. Prior to the issue of the Construction Certificate, North Sydney Council must issue the
applicant with a driveway crossing and road infrastructure works permit to suit the
approved off-street parking facilities. To obtain the permit, an application must be made
to Council on a ‘Vehicular Access Application’ form with payment of the adopted
assessment/inspection fees. Council will require civil design construction drawings and
certification from the applicant’s Civil Engineer to verify design details and enable
permit issue. The responsibility for accuracy of the design fully rests with the designing
engineer. All responsibility on implementation and supervision of works specified on
design plans fully rests on designing engineer or whoever is chosen to be applicant’s
engineering representative. The civil design drawings shall detail the following
infrastructure construction requirements of Council in relation to the consent:
a) The proposed vehicular access ways must comply with AS 2890.1 and Council’s
current Vehicular Access Application Guidelines and Specification (gutter bridges
not permitted) to ensure that a B85 vehicle will not scrape/strike the surface of the
carriageway, layback, vehicular crossing or parking floor.
b) The width of the vehicular layback must be 6.5m (including the wings).
c) The boundary footpath levels must match the existing levels and shall not be
altered unless agreed to by Council.
d) Alignment levels at the boundary have an important impact on the proposed levels
for new driveway. The works must not start until confirmation of boundary
alignment levels from Council. Council has the authority to remove any
unauthorized works at the cost of the property owner.
e) The Certifying Authority must ensure that the internal property levels at boundary
matches council’s confirmed boundary levels.
f) The crossing (between the layback and the property boundary) must be
perpendicular on a single straight grade, falling to the back of the layback. It must
be taken into account that the change in cross fall grade of the road shoulder and
driveway crossing is no more than 15%. The cross fall of the road shoulder is
measured for a distance of 1200 mm falling to the gutter lip , starting from the
surface of the existing carriageway 1650 mm from the existing face of kerb.
g) If the change in the cross fall grade of the existing road shoulder levels and
projected driveway crossing taken from existing footpath boundary levels exceeds
15%, the gutter levels and road shoulder levels will require some adjustment
(lifting) to prevent scraping of vehicles and to ensure smooth transitions. As a
result, the kerb & gutter are to be transitioned as necessary on both sides of the
proposed layback crossing to ensure that a minimum longitudinal fall of 1% is
achieved to maintain gutter flows, but transition on both sides must be no less than
2 meters long.
h) The footpath and grass verge on McPherson Street must be reconstructed and are
to be transitioned at least 1.5m on both sides or for additional pavement panel,
whichever is greater, to ensure uniformity on the footpath.
i) The kerb gutter, and 1200 mm road shoulder wide- strip, adjacent to all new
layback and gutter works, on McPherson Street must be reconstructed, to ensure
uniformity in the road reserve.
j) Any twisting of driveway access to ensure vehicles do not scrape must occur
wholly within the subject property.

itself and shall include all changes of grade and levels, both existing and proposed.
m) A longitudinal section along the gutter line of McPherson Street at a scale of 1:50
showing how it is intended to transition the layback with the existing gutter levels
and shall include all changes of grade and levels, both existing and proposed.
n) A longitudinal section along the footpath property boundary at a scale of 1:50 is
required and shall include all changes of grade and levels, both existing and
proposed.
o) The sections must show the calculated clearance to the underside of any overhead
structure.
All driveway and infrastructure works on the road reserve must proceed in accordance
with the terms of the permit issued by Council. Inspections by Council will be required
as specified on the permit. The Certifying Authority issuing the Construction Certificate
must ensure that the permit issued by Council is obtained prior to its issue, is referenced
on and accompanies the Construction Certificate issued.
(Reason: To facilitate appropriate vehicular access to private sites, without
disruption to pedestrian and vehicular traffic)

responsible for any breaches of this condition, and will incur any fines associated with
enforcement by Council regulatory officers.
(Reason: To ensure that existing kerbside parking provisions are not compromised
during works)
Road Reserve Safety
E3. All public footways and roadways fronting and adjacent to the site must be maintained
in a safe condition at all times during the course of the development works, with no
obstructions caused to the said footways and roadways. Construction materials and
plant must not be stored in the road reserve without approval of Council.. A safe

Where public infrastructure is damaged, repair works must be carried out in when and
as directed by Council officers (at full Developer cost). Where pedestrian circulation is
diverted on to the roadway or verge areas, clear directional signage and protective
barricades must be installed in accordance with AS1742-3 (1996) “Traffic Control
Devices for Work on Roads”. If pedestrian circulation is not satisfactorily
maintained across the site frontage, and action is not taken promptly to rectify the
defects, Council may undertake proceedings to stop work.
(Reason: Public Safety)
Temporary Disposal of Stormwater Runoff
E4. During construction, stormwater runoff must be disposed in a controlled manner that is
compatible with the erosion and sediment controls on the site. Immediately upon
completion of any impervious areas on the site (including roofs, driveways, paving)
and where the final drainage system is incomplete, the necessary temporary drainage
systems must be installed to reasonably manage and control runoff as far as the
approved point of stormwater discharge. Such ongoing measures must be to the
satisfaction of the Certifying Authority.
(Reason: Stormwater control during construction)
Geotechnical Stability during Works
E5. A contractor with specialist excavation experience must undertake the excavations for
the development and a suitably qualified and consulting geotechnical engineer must
oversee the excavation procedure.
Geotechnical aspects of the development work, namely appropriate excavation method
and vibration control, support and retention of excavated faces, and hydrogeological
considerations must be undertaken in accordance with the recommendations of the
geotechnical report and all subsequent geotechnical inspections carried out during the
excavation and construction phase.
Approval must be obtained from all affected property owners, including North Sydney
Council where rock anchors (both temporary and permanent) are proposed below
adjacent private or public property.
(Reason: Ensure appropriate professional are engaged at appropriate stages during
construction)

b) at the completed height of the building, prior to the placement of concrete
inform work, or the laying of roofing materials; and
c) at completion, the relationship of the building, and any projections thereto, to
the boundaries.
Progress certifications in response to points (a) through (c) must be provided to the
Certifying Authority for approval at the time of carrying out relevant progress
inspections. In the event that such survey information is not provided or reveals
discrepancies between the approved plans and the proposed works, all works, save for
works necessary to bring the development into compliance with the approved plans,
must cease. Works may only continue upon notification by the Certifying Authority to
the Applicant that survey information (included updated survey information following
the carrying out of works to comply with the approved plans) complies with this
condition.

Special Permits
E12. Unless otherwise specifically approved in writing by Council, all works, processes,
storage of materials, loading and unloading associated with the development must
occur entirely on the property.
The developer, owner or builder may apply for specific permits available from
Council’s Customer Service Centre for the undermentioned activities on Council’s
property. In the event that a permit is granted by Council for the carrying out of works,
processes, storage of materials, loading and unloading associated with the development
on Council's property, the development must be carried out in accordance with the
requirements of the permit. A minimum of forty-eight (48) hours notice is required for
any permit: -
1) On-street mobile plant
Eg. cranes, concrete pumps, cherry-pickers, etc. - restrictions apply to the hours
of operation, the area of operation, etc. Separate permits are required for each
occasion and each piece of equipment. It is the developer's, owner’s and
builder’s responsibilities to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that the
use of any equipment does not violate adjoining property owner’s rights.

4) Kerbside restrictions, construction zones
Attention is drawn to the existing kerbside restrictions adjacent to the
development. Should alteration of existing kerbside restrictions be required, or
the provision of a construction zone, the appropriate application must be made
and the fee paid to Council. Alternatives to such restrictions may require
referral to Council’s Traffic Committee and may take considerable time to be
resolved. An earlier application is suggested to avoid delays in construction
programs.
(Reason: Proper management of public land)
Construction Hours
E13. Building construction and works must be restricted to within the hours of 7.00 am to
5.00 pm Monday to Friday and on Saturday to within the hours of 8.00 am to 1.00 pm

K4. Car-parking provided must only be used in conjunction with the units and tenancies
contained within the development. Any carparking for strata lots for residential
purposes must be individually allocated to its corresponding residential strata lot as part
of each lot’s unit entitlement.
The spaces shall be allocated at the rate of no more than one space per apartment or
dwelling.
(Reason: To ensure that adequate parking facilities to service the development are
provided on site)
Building and Unit Numbering (Strata Subdivisions)
K5. Prior to issue of the Strata Certificate, the person acting upon this consent must apply
to North Sydney Council and receive written confirmation of the allocated street
address and unit numbers for the building and the approved strata allotments within the
completed project. These are the property addresses that will be recorded in Council
records and must be displayed at the property in accordance with the provisions of the
applicable Australian Standard (AS/NZS 4819:2011).
To assist Council, a draft proposal for numbering within the strata scheme or street
should be submitted for concurrence to Council, as these numbers will be used to
maintain Council’s property and mapping database.
(Reason: To ensure that Council records are accurate, and that building and unit
numbering complies with the requirements of Council’s Property
Addressing Policy. Proper building and unit numbering also assists
emergency services in readily locating properties)
Services within Lots
K6. A report must be provided by a Registered Surveyor certifying that all services
(including but not limited to stormwater drainage, gas, electricity, telephone cable) as
constructed or to be constructed are/will be contained within each lot or within the
necessary easements to accommodate such services. The report must be submitted to
the Certifying Authority for approval prior to the issue of any Subdivision Certificate.
(Reason: To ensure adequate servicing of the development)
