The Shire has received an application for a brick wall, metal roof outbuilding upon 27 (Lot 115) Richards Road, Buller.
The proposed outbuilding, being 228.36m2 in area (comprising 175.32m2 enclosed area and 53.03m2 lean-to area) exceeds the maximum 180m2 floor area requirement of the Shire of Chapman Valley Outbuildings Local Planning Policy for the 'Residential R2.5' zone.
The proposed outbuilding would have a wall height of 3.5m and a total height of 6.28m which exceeds the maximum 4m wall height/5m total height requirements of the Shire of Chapman Valley Outbuildings Local Planning Policy for the 'Residential R2.5' zone.
The proposed outbuilding is proposed to be sited 7.5m from the rear (western) boundary and 1.5m from the side (northern) boundary. State Planning Policy 7.3 - Residential Design Codes of Western Australia ('R-Codes') recommends a setback distance of 7.5m from (non-front) boundaries in the 'Residential R2.5' zone.
Due to the application proposing variation to the area and height requirements of the Outbuildings Policy and the side boundary setback requirements of the R-Codes, this matter is being advertised for public comment prior to being presented to a meeting of Council for determination.
The outbuilding is also proposed to contain a 59.02m2 habitable compartment comprising 2 bedrooms, living room/kitchen and bathroom/toilet.
