Residents in the lower scale development zone, abutting the Doncaster Hill precinct at 810 Elgar Rd, are questioning why council have\u00a0prescribed such high buildings (32.5 metres) on their boundary line without there being an appropriate height step down to avoid overshadowing of their properties.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Council planning officers have recommended that the application for the construction of a 11-storey building (a residential hotel comprising 116 suites), to be decided on the 31st October 2017, be refused.\u00a0planning_application_pl16_026580_-_810_elgar_road_doncaster_-_report (1)<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>The main reason being that the proposal does not provide an\u00a0appropriate height transition that steps down to the lower scale residential growth area on the southern boundary thereby creating an unreasonable amount of overshadowing and visual impact on the adjacent properties. The narrow building footprint has made it impossible to comply due to the width of the block being only 17.7 metres wide.\u00a0<\/span>It is possible that the proponent could decide on an an appeal to VCAT should councillors reject this proposal, on the basis that the applicant has complied with the mandatory height of 7 A of the Doncaster Hill height schedule, as per the following link.\u00a0\u00a0Building Heights<\/a><\/p>\n

Manningham council had departed from the mandatory height policy and approved an application in March last year for the construction of a eight, three storey town house development. The permit is still valid but has not been taken any further. This would have been a relief\u00a0for residents on the southern boundary who were concerned about the effect a 32.5 metre building would have on their properties.\u00a0 It is hoped that the applicant does not pursue an appeal if the Hotel proposal is rejected and instead is prepared to finalise the permit for the three storey town house development.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Panel Report on C33<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Table for calculation of shadow lengths.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Shadow Draw<\/a><\/p>\n
