Overlay H: Habitable Room Over Garage Overlay Overlay N: North Facing Allotments Overlay

This overlay requires that allotments located adjacent to laneways are required to contain a habitable element above the garage to provide passive surveillance of the abutting laneway environment. In these cases, the usual screening requirement for habitable room windows is discouraged, provided unreasonable overlooking adjoining properties is avoided. For allowable setbacks, zero setback to rear lane from upper floor is allowed and side setback to upper floor is to be 1m on one side.

The usual requirement for screening of habitable room windows up to 1.7m above floor level is discouraged provided it can be demonstrated no unreasonable overlooking of adjoining and nearby allotments will occur.

This overlay applies to selected north facing allotments.

Allotments with north facing areas towards the street require attention to fencing to afford privacy to these more exposed private open spaces. Front boundary setbacks North facing private open space Raised floor levels, front boundary screen barriers to achieve privacy to exposed north facing private open space Refer to North Facing Allotments: Supplementary Controls below
