Seniors Living Development Application Approved 9 Houses for 40 Clissold Rd, Wahroonga

McCullum Ashby Architects has some exciting news to share. On Tuesday 27^th October our development application for 34 – 40 Clissold Rd, Wahroonga was unanimously approved at a Ku-ring-gai Council meeting. The application was for nine luxury homes was made under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability) 2004 (Formerly SEPP 5). The seniors living policy for urban design guidelines for infill development was used as a guide document in preparing the submission.

Clissold Rd is a picturesque location with large homes running along a suburban road. Neighbouring the lot is a quaint two story residence and a modern townhouse development with a large family home opposite. The residents of this development will enjoy the peaceful setting of the neighbourhood. The existing buildings are to be demolished to allow the construction of the nine new dwellings. The dwellings are a mix of 3 and 4 bedroom townhouses with single and double storey set on their own parcel of land. The original site area was 4,200sqm with a 30m frontage and we achieved a proposed gross floor area of 2,034sqm or 0.47:1. One of the conditions of the approval included minor extension to the street footpath to link the site up with a bus stop.

McCullum Ashby Architects have chosen a contemporary masonry and timber clad façade. Each home opens up to private courtyards drenched in northern sun.

Seniors Living SEPP developments are possible in many locations within existing Low Density R2 zoned areas subject to site related requirements together with several other controls about site area and frontage etc. Please call us to discuss if it is possible with your block of land.

Two more dual occupancy’s approved in Ryde Council

McCullum Ashby Architects recently obtained Development Application approval for two dual occupancies in Pratten Avenue in the City of Ryde Council. Both Development Applications were lodged prior to the recent changes in planning legislation which previously prohibited sub-division however, now the owner can apply to strata subdivide the properties under the new Ryde Local Environmental Plan 2014. We achieved a floor space ratio of 0.49:1 & 0.5:1 on each of the lots respectively which is a great result as often maximum floor space can be difficult to achieve due to overshadowing or other site constraints. Through the use of clever design, we were however able to maximise the development potential of each site. In addition to this, in order to provide the developer with cost efficiencies in construction, we adapted the dwelling design to work both on the first lot which was a regular allotment as well as the second lot which was a corner allotment.

Is your lot 580m² or greater? If so, why not contact us about developing your block into a dual occupancy.
