Re: Changing primary street frontage on a corner block CDC 10Feb 26, 2024 11:19 am The_K_Man Thank you so much for your reply Simeon, I really appreciate it! We have heard about the changes proposed by the NSW government affecting all R2 zoned houses that will permit the construction of duplexes which are generally not permitted in ku-ring-gai council along with permission to build terraces and manor houses on R2 zoned blocks that are up to an 800m walk to a train station or town centre. We believe our block falls under this definition so we are looking at building 3 townhouses on our block but this would require 2 small trees to be removed from councils nature strip - the trees are small and scraggly as they are constantly cut down to clear the powerlines above it. We were wondering if council could stop us from constructing these terraces because it will require the removal of 2 street trees and it will add another 2 driveways onto the street hence taking away car parking for 1 street car in a zone where many commuters park their car on the street and walk to the station. I assume that council will have a say on this even though I’m applying for a cdc development. But will council have enough power to reject our build as a result of these factors? I have had an arborist look at the trees on the council strip about 10 years ago and he said they were of low value- in your experience has council allowed you to remove trees on the council strip to then replace them with higher quality trees once the development is complete? And do you still feel that the 2 extra curb cuttings for the driveways to the proposed new terraces resulting in the loss of 1 street car parking space will still be a non-issue even though the property is close to the train station and the street is used as commuter car parking? Thank you very much for your help and advice! I have some knowledge and experience with exactly this issue, but I don't want to post publicly.
