Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 02, 2015 9:48 am Hi All, I am planning to knockdown and rebuild an existing single storey brick veneer home. The current home has a 7m frontage. Neighbours on either side also have a 7m frontage. The document below states in section 3.5.4 on page 19 that "The minimum building line for a dwelling-house or dwelling-house addition to the primary road frontage shall be 6m, with a maximum 1m encroachment of any architectural feature (such as a patio, balcony, porch and the like, but not a garage or carport), providing the aggregate width of such feature is a maximum 30% of the front elevation (i.e. facing the primary road) of the dwelling." http://www.blacktown.nsw.gov.au/files/b ... _Zones.pdf My issue is I would like my new home to be 1m forward, leaving a 6m frontage. Q1. Is this possible? Q2. Do I still need to keep the 7m setback due to my neighbours houses being 7m setback? Q3. Can I apply for the 30% rule to be extended to 50%? Q4. Has anyone had any similar experiences with Blacktown Council?
