Hi all,
Just had a preliminary assessment done on our dual occupancy DA.
Couple of things we need to address, like FSR, setbacks, landscaping and the amount of concrete at the front
Now the interesting thing is one of the neighbours has provided a submission about the overshadowing (we're building a two storey dual occ and they have a single)
At 3pm in winter, about half of their solar panels are covered. They are saying the solar panels are going to be completely covered, which is not the case. at 3pm about half would possibly be (in winter).
The other comment was that their rumpus room will not get enough sunlight on the wall to heat it for night use.
Will these two things be deal breakers, even though we comply with all other council requirements? There is minimal stuff that can be done with the overshadowing since its a 2 storey vs single storey.
I dont really talk to the neighbours although would it be worthwhile to write / speak to them about it?
Thanks
