my neighbours are building and there is an elevated alfresco area on ground level over a basement alfresco level (2 storey alfresco)
However, due to the sloping block, the second level is over 2m above ground level and within 6m of the side and back boundaries. Am I reading the SEPP correctly that this is now allowed if larger than 12m2?
(3.12) The total floor area of all attached side or rear balconies, decks, patios, terraces and verandahs that, after the completion of the development—
Quote:
(a) are within 6m from a side or rear boundary, and
Quote:
(b) have a finished floor level of more than 2m above ground level (existing),
must not be more than 12m2.
