Just giving it a read to check if my build is complying. That is the state complying development code... otherwise known as CDC, which I don't think applies to your development as you've mentioned that you've submitted an application for a DA (through your local council). Perhaps have a look here... https://www.orange.nsw.gov.au/planning- ... trol-plan/ Is there a reason why you went with a DA rather than with CDC? One of the good things about CDC is that it doesn't allow for neighbour objections. We would have preferred getting our planning approval through CDC but were forced to the DA process because we had an overland flow path (which is one of a handful of things that disqualifies from using CDC). Our DA took over 6 months to obtain the approval, compared to the 2 weeks for CDC.

Just giving it a read to check if my build is complying. If a DA has been lodged it is usually because the build cant be done via a CDC. Sounds like the DA will be assessed against the Development Control Plan, LEP and any local special considerations. You might find the info you need in the links below. https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/epi-2012-0055#sec.4.3 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 1998 (nsw.gov.au) This (from the DCP) is the might be grounds enough for Council rejection or grounds to support the build is generating the character of a new area. 'In established areas, the character has already been defined. New development should clearly relate to the existing development pattern of the neighbourhood. For new areas, incremental development of new streets and spaces together with house designs will generate a particular character of the area over time. The character of an area is made up of a combination of factors such as type, form, bulk and height of development, building setbacks, design, landscaping, lot sizes, subdivision layout and siting of public places.'

As per PCA/private certifier for CDC, inland Housing Code Clause 3D.25 which requires a window in a habitable room in the ground floor fronting the primary Ours was a double storey width is 8.5 meters where the 6m is for double garage. The remaining is front door with sidelight. The entrance is marked in the floor plan as entry/study nook. I don’t know if suck wont fit the definition of habitable room. Somehow Im a little bit confident that as per setbacks, height, it meets the requirement.

The good thing about the DA process is you can submit a non-compliant application and argue the merits (but which would make you vulnerable to complaints from neighbours). For us, Rawson were very good at identifying areas of non-compliance (of which we had many, and still managed to get DA approval) so I'd expect if you had any non-compliances they would have raised them to your attention before submitting the DA. As Simeon said earlier... if your plans are compliant then don't stress as the neighbours objections shouldn't stop the DA being approved. Re: DA application 8 objections from neighbours 13Aug 29, 2021 7:02 pm I made measurements on my block today. Ans this is what I found out They hcut the eastern side of the boundary by at least 1000mm and put a 1000mm retaining wall. They constructed a 1800 colorbond fence (which we paid half of it) on top of that retaining walls. That’s a total of at least 2800mm total height. This fence is way above their existing roof eaves on their eastern side of their house. I reviewed my high school trigonometry today. At Mid-winter, June 21, 900am shadow can be manually computed In Orange, At 900am, Sun Azimuth = 42.565 degrees Sun altitude = 20.622 degrees Direction = 222.565 degrees Shadow Length multiplier = 2.657 Total fence height = 2800mm or 2.8 meters Shadow cast the Colourbond existing fence= total height x shadow length multiplier Shadow cast = 2.800 x 2.657 = 7.4396 meters This data are the data used by solar panels installer. This could verified mathematically and by software modelling. From this result, it can be concluded that their existing fence that alone, even without any existing building from Block 209 is a major contributor to the shadowing in living areas of the exisiting house next to us is built closer to the eastern side boundary. Do math equation lie? Hi folks, Victoria resident here. I've submitted my owner builder application to the VBA. I thought I'd share my experience so far.

BCC washed their hands… 3 5513 it depends on the natural ground level, if they excavated their boundary wall needed to be built as a retaining wall.
