PROPOSED OUTBUILDING EXTENSION – 76 PITCHFORD CREST, WHITE PEAK

 

The Shire has received an application for an extension to the existing outbuilding upon 76 (Lot 274) Pitchford Crest, White Peak.

 

The existing outbuilding is 164m² in area and the proposed 52m² extension (comprising 28m² enclosed and 24m² unenclosed floor area) would create an outbuilding with a total floor area of 216m².

 

The proposed outbuilding would meet with the standard 240m² floor area requirements of the Shire of Chapman Valley Outbuildings Local Planning Policy, and the proposed 3m height would also meet with the policy’s 4.5m maximum wall height/5.5 maximum total height requirements for the ‘Rural Residential’ zone.

 

However, the outbuilding extension is proposed to be sited 3.7m from the side (northern) property boundary which is a variation to Schedule 3 of the Shire of Chapman Valley Local Planning Scheme which establishes a minimum side boundary setback requirement of 5m in the ‘Rural Residential’ zone.

 

Due to the application proposing variation to the Scheme requirements, this matter is being advertised for public comment prior to being presented to a meeting of Council for determination.

 

A copy of the application along with background information, and a submission form should you wish to make comment (support/objection/indifferent) can be viewed by clicking HERE.

 

Comments must be received by the Shire prior to 4:00pm Friday 31 March 2023.

 

Should you have any queries please contact the Shire office on 9920 5011.
