Parramatta Development Control Plan 2005

5 - Special Precincts

North Parramatta

Design outcomes for the area bounded by Brickfield, Belmore, Buller and Albert Streets, North Parramatta should reflect the sensitivity of this area to the impact of residential flat development due to the proximity to Doyle Ground, nearby lower density residential areas, the style and character of traditional housing including heritage items in the general locality and the potential for new residential flat development to reduce streetscape consistency.

Objectives

1. O.1To provide a consistent building line in order to provide an appropriate and attractive built edge to the street
2. O.2To provide for a form of housing that incorporates themes from the traditional housing style of the locality, (ie. closely spaced cottages, semis and terraces) particularly when viewed from Doyle Ground

Design Standards

1. S.1The front setback is a maximum of 5m and a minimum of 3m consistent with the prevailing setbacks in the immediate locality
2. S.2Development should have the appearance of terrace-style housing in order to reflect the character of the traditional housing in the vicinity
3. S.3In Buller Street, opposite Doyle Ground, the terrace form of housing should provide a sense of address of the dwellings to the street and to Doyle Ground, particularly on the ground floor. In this area it is also desirable that car parking be situated at the rear of the site and accessed via a 4m wide rear lane
