Hi Guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
My friend wants to convert his 10a Garage/Home office with an approved toilet and shower into a detached secondary dwelling. He lives in Blacktown, NSW.
The existing garage building is 76m² and 900mm off the rear boundary and so it won't comply with 10(1)(a) - 3m rear setback and 23(2)(h) - max 60m² in the Affordable Rental Housing SEPP.
The LEP is fairly quiet on detached secondary dwellings, only saying that they are permissible with consent but there is no way to comply with the parking requirements and shared driveway requirements set out in the DCP.
Should he put in an application under the LEP/DCP with a report that triggers SEPP 1 - Development Standards (6) and have the application assessed on merit?
The council have given no indication if they would be lenient with the parking requirements set out in the DCP. Would my friend just be wasting his DA fees.
Are there any others ways to convert a garage/home office into a secondary dwelling?
Cheers
