No worries, but real thanks goes to you for all the info. Looking forward to the responses from Department and certifier.

Hi Brazen, I'll look at trying to call soon when I get my questions and references sorted out. Changing tack back to original problem, which is the primary frontage, after a night cruising the NSW planning website I found this in a document called: "NSW Housing Code - A Guide to...

Corner blocks can be a blessing and a curse, thanks Brazen. I thought about getting the address changed to the other street... but probably a council DA anyhow :rolleyes:

Query was for front setback, not rear :confused: Existing house front setback 5m, neighbours are 9 and 11m. Build an attached gf on the side of the house, can it be also the 5m, or must it match the detached rules and be 10m? Rear and site setbacks not an issue. Thanks,

Sorry I may need to give more detail. I made an example in your other thread for detached GF's where the existing house has a 5m setback and the required setback for new detached GF would be 11m based on two adjoining houses having 10m and 12m setbacks. If the house had an extension to create...

Thanks for the info, that's good enough for me! Still, this line has bothered me in the past: as it implies families may use the secondary dwelling for income. Of course nothing says that both dwellings can't be rented and as you say, this is all part of the Affordable Rental polices...

There are councils with their own rules for secondary dwellings, presumably in addition to the NSW code (unless they are one of the few that are exempted for it). I know of one council, Wollondilly, that require the property owner to reside in one of the dwellings. This is would be an...

And what happens with street numbers. Does this need to be officially applied for, or just pop up a letterbox with your street number and 'A' ?

I have seen a couple of councils whose rules state that sites with a "secondary dwelling" must have either the secondary or principal dwelling occupied by the property owner. One example is Wollondilly, who acknowledge that the granny flat can be approved under the NSW code, but still stick to...
