Beat the change in legislation; City of Ryde Council
We just obtained DA approval for four (4) x 3+ bedroom dwellings on a site of 1,747sqm in Gladesville. The process took 3 months and 29 days from lodgement to Council approval.
The site presented a number of complex challenges including:
- Bushfire buffer zone.
- Steeply sloping site and working within the building and wall height controls.
- Non-complaint street frontage.
- Narrow lot layout and vehicle manoeuvring.
- Dual occupancy site separation clause.
- Significant trees in close proximity on adjoining sites.
- Sewer main cutting through the middle of the site.
- Significant cut & fill.
The application was lodged to the City of Ryde Council as a three (3) stage application. Stage 1 the subdivision, Stage 2 the two front dwellings and Stage 3 the rear two dwellings. The new DRAFT LEP 2013 increases the street frontage requirement from 15m to 20m therefore given our non-complaint lot width of 14.7m the property owner wasted no time in lodging the application under the current legislation.
If you have a similar site and are looking to develop it as dual occupancy (attached or detached) please don’t hesitate to call us to discuss how we can help you obtain a high yield in a short time frame.
