In December 2024, DA2023/1751 was approved for a residential apartment development with 28 apartments, and included provision for affordable housing under the Council’s affordable housing scheme.
Since that approval, the State’s Low to Mid Rise Housing policy has come into effect, allowing for additional heights, particularly as the site is located within 400m of the Frenchs Forest town centre.
The proposed development has a similar look and feel to the previously approved development; however, it will have an additional basement level increasing the car parking to 60 spaces in total, three additional floors, increase the apartments to 40 in total and relocation of the waste collection area within the basement.
The affordable housing component will be 20 per cent gross floor area in total (meeting both Council and State schemes) and the development will take the opportunity of the additional height allowances under the State’s scheme.
