Troppo @ Baywood
Project Type: Villages
Development Consent is sought to subdivide Lot 301 in DP 1033188 to create 2 lots. Further, staged Development Consent is sought for proposed Lot 1 entailing integrated single dwelling house development consisting of 7 x 2 bedroom and 29 x 3 bedroom dwellings and associated infrastructure. The first stage is to involve the erection of 5 x 2 bedroom and 25 x 3 bedroom dwellings and an associated on-site wastewater treatment system. This will occur on the two parcels within the proposed Lot 1, located at Dehnga Place and Coogera Circuit. The on site wastewater system will be located at the Dehnga site along with 21 dwellings in Stage 1. All 9 of the proposed dwellings at the Coogera site are proposed as part of Stage 1.
In the second stage it is proposed to retire the on site wastewater system, connect to Council’s sewer system and erect a further 2 x 2 bedroom and 4 x 3 bedroom dwellings.
The proposal by Supbrook to undertake this troppo@baywood project is a product of many factors. Those factors include:
- policies of all levels of government to promote the orderly development and use of land which is zoned and identified by the DCP as suitable for low scale low intensity development;
- strong demand for well designed single dwelling houses; and
- the site planning opportunities presented by the site for integrated housing.
The proposed development application is permissible under the Byron Local LEP and is consistent with the North Coast Regional Environmental Plan.
The primary objective of this proposal is to develop part of the residual of Baywood Chase Estate for the purposes of an integrated housing development illustrating the very best in contemporary Australian coastal architecture.
For the purposes of project design criteria, the following site planning objectives have been adopted:
- Identify and protect site flora and fauna of local environmental planning significance and enhance the biological diversity of the land through landscape plantings.
- Ensure that construction works are appropriately managed to minimise site erosion and maintain the current quality of water exiting the site.
- Ensure that adequate effluent disposal infrastructure is provided.
- Implement aspects of energy efficient housing.
- Maintain the visual integrity of the Baywood Chase environment and carry out development in a manner which optimises the residential amenity of the development without impacting on the residential amenity of the surrounding land.
- Provide for public utilities.
- Ensure that the proposed street system of Lot 1 conforms with the network hierarchy of Baywood Chase Estate and that adequate carriageway and verge are provided to allow the proposed streets to safely perform their appropriate function within the network.
- Ensure that the quality and quantity of stormwater exiting the site is not adversely affected by the proposed subdivision and that existing drainage patterns are not materially altered.
- Review potential site planning hazards to ensure the development is not likely to present an unreasonable hazard.
- Provide opportunities for positive social and economic outcomes and develop a sense of place for residents.
- Undertake construction on the site using methods responsive to site constraints.
