Dear Chris
LOT 993 (NO 43) KEN MORE CRESCENT, FLOREAT - ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS- CARPORT
0160DA-2018
Thank you for your letter of 29 August 2018 regarding further information to complete the
assessment of the above development application.
The required side elevation drawings to the north and south are attached.
I note that that the following parts have been assessed by Town of Cambridge to not meet deemed-
to-comply provisions:
1. Front Setback: the minimum required setback for the proposed Carport from the front
(Kenmore Crescent) boundary is 9 metres, the plans submitted show a setback of 1.4
metres.
2. Side Setback (left/south): the minimum required setback for the proposed carport wall from
the left/southern side boundary is 1.0 metres, the plans submitted show a setback of 0.7
metres.
3. Sight Lines: walls, fences and other structures are to be reduced to 0.75 metres within 1.5
metres of a vehicle access point, the plans show that these sight lines are not
accommodated on site.
The above points are addressed below in written justifications in two ways as required:
1. How the proposal meets the relevant design principles and objectives of the R-Codes; and
2. How the proposal meets the criteria of clause 39 of the Town planning scheme.

1. Written justification as to how the proposal meets the relevant design principles and
objectives of the R-Codes
The R-Codes have stated objectives which include encouraging design which considers and
respects the local heritage and local culture; and to allow variety and diversity as appropriate
where it can be demonstrated this better reflects context or scheme objectives. The following
aspects highlight how the development application meets these broader objectives:
The residence at 43 Kenmore Crescent is an example of the single story 1950’s houses
constructed throughout the locality. It also maintains the original garden suburb concept by
continuing to not have a front fence (as do the adjacent properties), unfortunately Floreat is
undergoing a transition where many of the original houses are being demolished and
replaced by double story houses
The proposed carport in this development application furthers the R-Code objectives of
encouraging design that considers /respects heritage and supports diversity that better
reflects context objectives, by supporting retention of 1950’s era houses in a style
sympathetic to their original form.
Contemporary expectations are that 4- 5 bedroom houses have undercover parking for two
cars, where they are not near high frequency transport routes. The existing garage is
undersized for contemporary vehicles and as such is no longer used for parking cars.
The only options at 43 Kenmore Crescent for providing undercover parking for two cars are
to either build within the 9 m setback a low impact carport sympathetic to the surrounding
streetscape (this application); or to demolish the house and lose more of the 1950’s
character.
1.1. Assessed non-compliance - Front Setback: the minimum required setback for the
proposed carport from the front (Kenmore Crescent) boundary is 9 metres, the plans
submitted show a setback of 1.4 metres.
Clause 5.2 of the R-Codes states as a design principle that carports be setback to maintain
clear sight lines along the street and not to detract from the streetscape or appearance of
dwellings. The following aspects highlight how the development application meets these
design principles:
43 Kenmore Crescent has a street verge/crossover that is significantly wider than is
usual in Floreat, it ranges from a minimum of 11.5 m to over 16 m. This means that
the proposed carport has a significantly lower impact on the sight lines along the
street than would a similar construction on a block with a narrower crossover.
The proposed carport has been designed to minimise its impact on the streetscape and appearance of the dwelling. It is smaller than the adjacent carport at 41
Kenmore Crescent (approximately 1 m smaller in both length and width) and
designed to complement it without increasing the overall bulk and height of
buildings in the area.
The proposed carport minimises the impact on the appearance of the dwelling with
a single hip roof with a mostly open front to maximise the view through to the
dwelling.

. The proposed carport has been designed on the southern side of the block and
occupies around 1/3 of the street frontage. This in combination with 43 Kenmore
Crescent not having a front fence protects the garden suburb streetscape and
character of the locality.
. The proposed carport has been sized and set back so its impact on building bulk will
be minimised when approaching along the street (from the south along Kenmore
Crescent and from the north along Moray Ave) by appearing to be "behind" the
adjacent property carport (41 Kenmore Crescent - 1.0 m setback) and garage (61
Moray Avenue -4.8 m setback).
1.2. Assessed non-compliance - Side Setback (left/south): the minimum required setback for
the proposed Carport wall from the left/southern side boundary is 1.0 metres, the plans
submitted show a setback of 0.7 metres.
Clause 5.1.3. states as a design principle that buildings be set back from lot boundaries to
reduce impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties; provide adequate direct sun and
ventilation to the building and open spaces on the site and adjoining properties; and
mini mise the extent of overlooking and resultant loss of privacy on adjoining properties.
However buildings may be built up to boundaries where this does not compromise the
design principle contained in clause 5.1.3 P3.1; does not have any adverse impact on the
amenity of the adjoining property, ensures direct sun to major openings to habitable rooms
and outdoor living areas for adjoining properties is not restricted; and positively contributes
to the prevailing or future development context and streetscape as outlined in the local
planning framework. The following aspects highlight how the proposal meets this design
principle:
. The proposed carport has a setback from the side boundary of 0.7 m on the rear
corner of the carport. The carport has been located to ensure there is no impact on
direct sun and ventilation for both the basement room and veranda at 41 Kenmore
Crescent; and the main bedroom at 43 Kenmore Crescent.
The front of the proposed carport has a setback from the side boundary of 1.4 m,
this creates the appearance from the street of a wider setback and less bulk; and
minimises any impacts on the owners and occupiers of the adjacent property. The
design was developed in consultation with the owners and occupiers of the adjacent
property and they have stated they have no objection to the proposal (signed plans
were submitted with the planning application).
The proposed carport has been located as far to the southern side of the property
(consistent with design principle clause 5.1.3) to positively contribute to the
prevailing garden suburb streetscape by maximising the width of open street
frontage. This is enhanced by the property not having a front fence.

1.3. Assessed non-compliance - Sight Lines: walls, fences and other structures are to be
reduced to 0.75 metres within 1.5 metres of a vehicle access point, the plans show that
these sight lines are not accommodated on site.
Clause 5.2.5 states as a design principle that developments provide unobstructed sight lines
provided at vehicle access points to ensure safety and visibility along vehicle access ways,
streets, rights-of-way, communal streets, crossovers, and footpaths.
One of the carport piers may encroach 0.1 m into deemed-to-comply zone of where fences
and other structures are to be reduced to 0.75 m.
The proposal meets the design principle as the design ensures safety and visibility along
vehicle access ways in the following ways:
. The proposed carport is of an open sided open design with visibility around the piers
as such the impact on the sightlines is minimal.
In-front of 43 Kenmore Crescent the street verge is significantly wider than is usual
in Floreat. The verge is 12 m wide at this point. There is no footpath on this side of
Kenmore crescent and it is common for people to walk close to the road. The
landscaping of the verge area adjacent to the boundary of 43 and 41 Kenmore
Crescent with low shrubs further discourages people from walking close to the
boundary near the vehicle access point. As such if the carport pier is considered to
encroach 0.1 m within the deemed to comply 1.5 m line of sight "triangle" there is
no significant difference in safety and visibility.

2. Written justification as to how the proposal meets the criteria of clause 39 of the
Town planning scheme.
Clause 39 of the Town Planning scheme states that development would be consistent with:
(i) the orderly and proper planning of the locality;
(ii) the conservation of the amenities of the locality; and
iii) the statement of intent set out in the relevant Precinct Planning Policy; and
the non-compliance would not have any undue adverse effect on:
(i) the occupiers or users of the development;
(ii) the property in, or the inhabitants of, the locality; or
(iii) the likely future development of the locality.
The Floreat precinct policy states that Floreat is a residential suburb with high quality
housing in a parkland setting and the intent is to be maintain low density residential with the
bulk of land being single houses.
The proposed carport meets the criteria for orderly and proper planning of the locality;
conservation of amenities of the locality and the intent set out in the Floreat precinct policy in the following ways:
The proposal supports Floreat’s precinct policy’s characterisation of Floreat as
having high quality housing in a parkland setting.
Minimises the impact on the sight lines along the road and maintains the garden
suburb streetscape due to the wide verge (ranging from 11.5 m to over 16 m); and
the residence not having a front fence (as do the adjacent properties).
The proposed carport minimises the impact on the appearance of the dwelling with
a single hip roof with a mostly open front to maxi mise the view through to the
dwelling.
Enables the house to be of high quality by meeting contemporary expectation that
4-5-bedroom houses should have two covered parking spaces.
Supports retention of 1950’s era houses in a style sympathetic to their original form.
The proposal meets criteria of no undue adverse effect on the occupiers, the property in the
locality, the inhabitants of the locality; and the likely future development of the locality in
the following ways:
The proposal does not impact on direct sun and ventilation for both the basement
room and veranda at 41 Kenmore Crescent; and the main bedroom at 43 Kenmore
Crescent.
The proposal allows two cars to be parked on the property, enhancing the
streetscape. Currently cars are commonly parked end to end on driveway and verge crossover.
The proposed carport is sympathetic in design to the adjacent carport at 41
Kenmore crescent, but has height and bulk less than the adjacent property carport
(41 Kenmore Crescent ~ 1.0 m setback) and garage (61 Moray Avenue ~4.8 m
setback).
Page 5 of 6
The proposed carport has a significantly lower impact on the sight lines along the
street than would a similar construction on a block with a narrower crossover. 43
Kenmore Crescent has a street verge / crossover that is significantly wider street
crossover than is usual in Floreat, ranges from a minimum of 11.5 m to over 16 m.
The design of the proposed carport has been developed in consultation with
neighbours in both adjacent properties, they have reviewed the plans and stated
they have no objections to the design.
I hope that the supplied drawings and written justification is sufficient for consideration of the
planning approval. Should there be any further enquiries please contact myself on 0438 802 818.
Yours Sincerely
~-Andrew Fox
