DescriptionReasons for Decision
NoteThe Panel approved the application for the reasons outlined below and in Council’s Assessment Report. A Concept Plan Approval for development of the site was granted in 2010 and has been amended over subsequent years. The current development application proposes the construction of three (3) residential flat buildings 6 - 11 storeys in height containing a total of 150 apartments (30 to Building A, 57 to Building B and 63 to Building C) and delivers a mix of social and private housing, with 30 social housing units provided within Building A. The proposal includes three (3) basement car parking levels containing 171 parking spaces, 23 bicycle spaces and loading dock, storage areas and servicing. The proposal is consistent with the provisions detailed within the approved Concept Plan and subsequent amendments and also the NSW Future Directions for Social Housing Policy. While the development does not comply with the floor space ratio or building height requirements of the Ryde Local Environmental Plan 2014 (RLEP 2014), the Panel notes the Concept Plan Approval prevails over the requirements of the RLEP 2014. The majority of the Panel concur with Council that the development proposal is sound in terms of design, function and relationship with its neighbours, is consistent with land use zoning and will provide social housing and meet the strategic priorities of the Future Directions Policy. The majority of the Panel also agree with Council that the proposal will result in a sustainable residential community with the high amenity, quality and character anticipated in a high‐density living environment. After consideration of the development against section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the relevant statutory and policy provisions, the majority of the Panel concur with Council that the proposal is suitable for the site and is in the public interest. Clrs Clifton and Purcell, of the City of Ryde, do not support this application as it falls well short of the State’s own targets for social and affordable housing. If the Department of Planning Industry and Environment cannot meet its own targets, then this sets a poor precedent for social housing in NSW. This new application has increased the amount of private housing by nearly a third from the original concept plan, and halved the social housing from the original concept plan. This application does not meet the public interest. Despite being told that refusal of, or conditioning of the application, would lead to bureaucratic years of delay, we do not find this assuages our disappointment in a system that needs review and improvement in the delivery of social and affordable housing in NSW. CONDITIONS The development application was approved subject to the conditions in Council’s Assessment Report with the following amendment:  New condition 178 to read as follows: 178. Landscape Management - Implementation and management of landscaping. The proposed communal landscaping and irrigation components are to be maintained for the ongoing life of the development by the strata management / owners corporation, as per the details in the approved landscape plans under Condition 1. CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY VIEWS In coming to its decision, the Panel considered written submissions made during public exhibition and heard from all those wishing to address the public meeting. Community concerns raised included bulk and scale, height, traffic & parking impacts, privacy and construction impacts on adjoining buildings. In relation to limited on‐street parking and a community request for Resident Parking Stickers, Council suggested that option be pursued separately between the local community and Council. The Panel considered that concerns raised by the community have been adequately addressed in Council’s Assessment report, Applicant and Council responses during the meeting and in the conditions as amended.
