Council refuses multi-dwelling development

An application for a multi-dwelling development of three two-storey dwellings at 135 Paton St, Woy Woy, has been refused.

Central Coast Council has rejected the application after receiving only two public submissions.

Only 17 multi-dwelling applications have been refused in the last six years, according to Peninsula News planning portal.

The majority of these have been refused at Planning Panel hearings, after the council received 10 or more submissions.

In this case, the number of objections did not trigger a Panel hearing.

Council planners agreed with one submission that there was "excessive impervious hardstand".

The submission objected to the effect on ambient temperature, but the council refusal pointed to "resultant flooding issues".

The council's determination said that the application was not supported by Council's Flood Engineer because it fell within a "Drainage Black Spot on the Peninsula".

"The proposal is not consistent with the R1 zone objectives of the Central Coast Local Environmental Plan 2022 as the proposal has not demonstrated that development is compatible with the desired future character of the zone or that it exhibits best practice design given its excessive impervious hardstand and resulting flooding issues."

The council found that the proposal was inconsistent with requirements for setbacks, deep soil, private open space, articulation and car parking.

It stated: "Approval of the proposed development is not in the public interest."
