DA application lodged over month ago and was in exhibition last August 11-25. Have 8 objections from neighbours.
1. Can I ask the council for the details of this objections for my copy so I could check with builder that all items raised are addressed?
2. This is our first time build. What happens next? And what ton expect?
The house we’re building is basically a smaller version of the display home in Sydney to be built in Orange NSW. It is a double storey DA proposal while all the neighbours are single storey. The only reason we went for the double storey is that the land countour have significant amount of slope. We choosed a very slim width so that the footing just sits on the flattish side of the block. House width is 8.5 meters and block with is 20.8. It has even a smaller total floor area compared to the neighbours. Cut and fill will cost more for single storey or even a split level with additional cost for retaining walls if we go to that option. For our build we didn’t want to disturb the land significantly but rather just take the advantage of the sloping land.
