REcommendation

That pursuant to the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1998, the Council refuse the application for Partial Demolition, Extension, Alterations, Signage and Change of Use to Eating Establishment and Unlisted Use (Bar) at Franklin Wharf, Hobart for the following reasons:

1. The proposal fails to satisfy objective (e) and its corresponding performance criteria at clause 21.2 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because it will not further develop the Activity Area as an attractive, comfortable and interesting place for pedestrians, it will not enhance pedestrian amenity, safety, comfort and movement across the floor of the Cove, and it will not provide additional opportunities for pedestrians to access and view the water's edge.

2. The proposal fails to satisfy the Public Urban Space Specific Precinct Guidelines at clause 24.4.8B, the Public Urban Space Function for Franklin Wharf at clause 24.4.10A and the Public Urban Space objectives at clause 24.2 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the extension will compromise the flat fill character of the Cove, does not create a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian environment and does not facilitate pedestrian access to the waterfront.

3. The proposed awning sign to the northern elevation does not comply with the performance criteria at clause 25.14 and table 25.1 of the Sullivans Cove Planning Scheme 1997 because the size of the lettering exceeds 0.25m.
