Re: Hills District Dwelling Width 13Nov 16, 2022 5:15 pm Hi, Just an update on our build - we got DA approval via Hills Council. The width of our house was at 80.49% width of allotment at the building line which exceeded the 75% (given the allotment had a width greater than 18m) max width specified in the DCP As Fredesu mentioned, we think it is discretionary and as long as you have a good enough reason the council will allow. In our instance, our argument/reason was that our neighbouring houses are wider than the 75% rule specified in the DCP. On another note, slab's down and frame's going up! Thanks everyone who's contributed to this thread. Hope this helps! Re: Hills District Dwelling Width 14Nov 16, 2022 5:32 pm Fredescu Ashington Homes Under CDC facade articulation is one million percent mandatory. I believe that. I'm just saying, the 75-80% mentioned in the rule in the OP isn't referring to the width of the portion of the house that is closest to the building line. It is referring to the width of the whole house. Thus it's not a rule regarding articulation. It's a rule regarding the overall width of a house (albeit a rule that you're readily allowed to exceed). At least as interpreted by Parramatta council.
