PLANNING SERVICES 9.1 Development Application: Outbuilding (Shed & Lean-to) – 5 (Lot 249) Hopkins Street SUBMISSION TO: Ordinary Council Meeting 23 July 2019 REPORT DATE: 15 July 2019 APPLICANT: Perth Patios FILE REFERENCE: HOP 66 AUTHOR: B.S. de Beer, Shire Planner ATTACHMENTS: Locality Map, Site Plan and Shed Structure SUMMARY An application has been received to construct a Colorbond Outbuilding (Shed & Lean-to), in extent 90m2 at 5 (Lot 249) Hopkins Street, Beverley. It will be recommended the application be approved. BACKGROUND The subject site is located at 5 (Lot 249) Hopkins Street, is 1,037m2 in extent and zoned Residential R 10/25. It contains an existing dwelling and outbuilding. In terms of the Shire’s Outbuilding Policy, the maximum total area of any outbuilding on the property in this zone is to be 75m2, whereas the proposed construction of the new shed (9m X 10m in extent), will result in an outbuilding of 90m2. As can be seen on the site plan the proposal is to remove an existing outbuilding prior to the new shed being constructed. COMMENT When considering the proposed increased total area of the development proposal beyond the parameters as set by the Outbuilding Policy, Shire planner is of the opinion that the following aspects of the development should be taken into consideration: a) The specific siting of the Outbuilding on the property; b) The general character of the immediate area; c) The size of the subject property. It is the opinion that the proposed siting of the Outbuilding at the subject property is such that it will not have any negative impact on the amenity of the surrounding area. The existing landscaping and the location of the house on the subject property will effectively screen the development so as to mitigate any negative impact that the proposed development might have. It is considered that the proposed development will be in pace with the character of the area. It is also considered a better planning outcome to have sufficient under-roof storage available on a property as opposed to storage of items outside which could potentially negatively affect the amenity of an area. Given the above site specific considerations and the size of the property it is not anticipated that the granting of Planning Approval for this application will create an undesirable precedent. 7 Ordinary Council Meeting Agenda 23 July 2019 The proposal complies with other aspects of the outbuilding policy. CONSULTATION No consultation was deemed required. STATUTORY ENVIRONMENT The application may be approved under the Shire of Beverley’s Local Planning Scheme No. 3. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS There are no financial implications relative to this application. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS There are no strategic implications relative to this application. POLICY IMPLICATIONS There are no policy implications relative to this application. VOTING REQUIREMENT Simple Majority OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION That Council resolve to grant planning approval for an Outbuilding (Shed & Lean-to) at 5 (Lot 249) Hopkins Street, Beverley, subject to the following conditions and advice notes: Conditions: 1. Development shall be carried out only in accordance with the terms of the application as approved herein and any approved plan, prepared by the applicant and endorsed by Council’s Shire Planner. 2. The outbuilding shall not be used for human habitation,
