Introduction

This report assesses a development application (DA MOD 2023/101.2), which seeks to vary the location of a detached shed approved by Council under delegation in December 2023.

The existing development approval located the garage 6m from Pinkerton Lane boundary, however a misinterpretation between consultant and owner located the shed in a position that the owners were not intending. The intended location was in a similar location to the original shed located approximately 2.5m from the boundary. A recent survey of the boundary has revealed the intended location of the shed to be 2.195m from the boundary and plans now reflect this proposed change.

Therefore, the modification is for Council to consider varying the location of the shed from 6m to 2.195m from the boundary.

The application is referred to Council for determination, as the application seeks a variation of minimum secondary building line setback requirement for Sheds as set out by the Cootamundra Development Control Plan (DCP) 2013.

Discussion

The assessment of the application has considered all relevant matters under Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the Act) and the requirements of relevant Environmental Planning Instruments and the Cootamundra DCP 2013.

Council staff have delegation to determine developments that comply with the Cootamundra LEP 2013 and DCP 2013, however, delegations do not extend to the determination of developments where a variation of DCP 2013 is sought. In such circumstances, delegations require the application to be referred to Council for determination.

The development assessment concludes that the modification, including proposed setback variation for the Shed, is appropriate in the context of the area overall.

Financial

There are no financial impacts to this development.

OLG 23a Guideline consideration

There are no impacts or considerations regarding the 23a Guidelines.
