That the Cumberland Local
Planning Panel (CLPP) generally support the planning proposal for the new
Cumberland Local Environmental Plan and progress the proposal to Gateway. The
Panel also makes the following further recommendations and comments:
1. Response
to submissions at public meeting:
a.
Submission of Shelley Oates and Malcolm Jacobson seeks
residential and shop top housing in relation to 40-44, 46-48, 50-54
Parramatta Road and 75 and 76 Jellicoe Street, Lidcombe currently zoned B6
zone. This will be considered in the consideration of the Parramatta Road
Corridor Strategy.
b. Submission
of Adan Davis on behalf of property owners of 224-240 Pitt Street and 2-6
Gladstone Street, Merrylands within the Neil Street Precinct seeking an R4
zoning with additional uses on the ground floor. The Panel sees merit in a B4
zoning being appropriate to these properties. However it is open to the owners
to make a submission at the public exhibition stage. The Panel acknowledges
there is an anomaly in the application of the B6 zone as it applies to the
Neil Street Precinct which needs to be corrected.
c.
Submission of Adan Davis on behalf of property owners 246-260
Woodville Road and 2-4 & 8-16 Lansdowne Street, Merrylands (John Cootes
site) seeking a change of the FSR from 2:1 to 2.2:1. The Panel endorses the
recommended FSR of 2:1. The Panel acknowledges that there is mapping anomaly in
the draft LEP in relation to height and floor space ratio that needs to be
corrected to reflect the Council resolution Min. 424, Item C02/19-15 dated 20
February 2019.
d. Submission
of Helen Wong, representing the owners of 524 Woodville Road, Guildford
seeking R4 zoning from a presently R2 zoning. This will be considered in the
preparation of the Woodville Road Corridor Strategy. However, it is open to
the owners to make a submission at the public exhibition stage.
e.
Submission of Balwinder Singh, the owner of 270 Great Western
Highway, Wentworthville seeking rezoning from R2 to R4. It is appropriate
that this be considered at a later stage. Nonetheless, it is open to the
owner to make a submission at the public exhibition stage.
f.
Submission of Rohit Sandlesh, the owner of 268 Great Western
Highway, Wentworthville seeking rezoning from R2 to R4. It is appropriate
that this be considered at a later stage. Nonetheless, it is open to the
owner to make a submission at the public exhibition stage.
g. Submission
of Kim Riley seeking that places of public worship be permitted in all zones
throughout the Local Government Area. The Panel is of the opinion that it
would be inappropriate to extend places of public worship in the R2 zones. However,
it may be appropriate to consider places of public worship in the business
zones.
h. Submission
of Yildiz Yigiter owner of 116 Elizabeth Street, Granville seeking R4 in lieu
of R2. This will be considered in the preparation of the Woodville Road
Corridor Strategy. However, it is open to the owners to make a submission at
the public exhibition stage.
i.
Submission of Lily Yin owner of 61 the Trongate Street,
Granville speaking on behalf of her daughter said to be owner of 81 Woodville
Road, Granville seeking to run a business in an R2 zone. The Panel notes that
the R2 zone restricts certain business activities to a home occupation, home
industry and home business.
2. Sex
Service Premises:
The draft Cumberland LEP
permits sex services with consent only in the IN1 zone. The Panel is of
the opinion that sex services with consent should be considered within the B4
and B6 zones.
3. Places
of Public Worship:
The Panel is of the opinion
that it may be appropriate to consider places of public worship in the
business zones. The Panel is of the view that this use is consistent with the
diversity of uses within business zones. The Panel acknowledges existing use
rights apply to many such uses within the Local Government Area. The Panel
endorses the recommended minimum lot size of 2000sqm in R3 and R4 zones. The
Panel notes that the issue of parking will be dealt with by Development
Control Plan provisions.
4. B6
Zones
The Panel recommends that
shop top housing be considered for inclusion in the B6 zones as part of the
Council’s future strategic corridor planning. The Panel is of the view
that the non-residential component of the housing should be at least 30% of
the gross floor area of the building.
5. Waste
Transfer Stations
The Panel is of the opinion
that all land uses encompassing the disposal and management of waste be
confined to the industrial zonings. The Panel also requests further
investigation of the applicability of waste land use definitions for the
purpose of consistency between the industrial zones.
6. Industrial
Zone Uses
The Panel recommends that an
objective be added to all industrial zones to encourage and promote
innovative and creative industries and for these uses to be permissible.
7. Objectives
of Height and FSR Development Standards
The Panel recommends that in
relation to both the height and FSR development standards the following
objective should be included to read as follows:
“To minimise the visual
impact of development and ensure sufficient solar access and privacy for
neighbouring properties is achieved.”
8. Aims
of Plan
The Panel recommends that an
additional aim of the plan be added as follows:
“6. To encourage and
promote development that is environmentally sustainable”.
9. Architectural
Roof Features
The Panel recommends that the
proposed objective “e” be deleted as it does not encourage
innovation in roof design.
10. Kiosks
The Panel recommends that the
proposed size of kiosks be a gross floor area maximum of 50sqm.
