Planning proposal to amend the development standards applying to 2-6 Cavill Avenue, Ashfield under Ashfield LEP 2013 to facilitate a high density mixed-use development (285 homes)

The planning proposal seeks to amend the provisions of Ashfield Local Environment Plan 2013 (LEP) that relate to 2-6 Cavill Avenue (the site), Ashfield to facilitate a high density mixed-use development (up to 285 dwellings) by: retaining the 23m (6 storeys) base maximum building height applicable to the site, and identify part of the site as ''Area 1'' on the Height of Buildings Map, providing a 7m bonus for affordable housing, allowing a maximum height of 30m (8 storeys) on the site; increasing the maximum Floor Space Ratio (FSR) from 2:1 to 3:1 over the B4 zoned land; suspending the requirements of Clause 4.3(2A) on the site, thereby allowing the top 3m of the maximum building height to be used for purposes other than lift overruns and landscaping; and suspending the requirements of Clause 4.3B(3) on the site, removing the need for development within 12m of the Liverpool Road frontage to be restricted to a height of 12m (4 storeys).The zoning of the site remains unchanged, B4 Mixed Use on most of the site and R2 Low Density Residential on the two access handles.
