20 OTHER MATTERS

20.1 Erf 24582 - 43 Montague Road, Maitland: NM HM/MAITLAND/ERF 24582

Case No: N/A

COMMENT: 1. The transformation of the area would benefit from good urban design input. 2. The urban design input needs to include a co-ordinated plan for the area. 3. The above would benefit from heritage urban design input 4. The applicant could look at VPUU (Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading) projects for ideas in which impacts of crime can be reduced through appropriate built interventions. 5. The nature of the public/private interface needs to be carefully considered taking the nature of the current traditional street interface into account, while recognizing that the area does have a crime problem. 6. The area is regarded as appropriate for densification and therefore there are no concerns in principle with the inclusion of a multi-storey development behind the existing terrace. 7. The single storey envelopes of the existing terrace could be increased to double storey provided that this were done in a manner that incorporates the traditional use of veranda elements, pitched roofs and ‘bookend’ massing of units at the end extremities of the terrace.

21. NON-COMPLIANCE

21.1 None

22. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS AND DECISIONS The Committee adopted the resolutions and decisions as minuted above.
