BRISCOE That the recommendation contained in the report of the Development Appraisal Planner of 24 June 2019, be adopted. |

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION: |
||||||||
|
That pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council refuse the application for demolition, alterations, new building for 52 multiple dwellings, food services, general retail and hire and associated car parking, subdivision (lot consolidation), and associated works, including works within road reserve at 59 Davey Street, 61 Davey Street, and 58 Harrington Street, Hobart, for the following reasons:
1. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 22.4.1 A1 and P1.2(f) of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 because it will not make a positive contribution to the streetscape and townscape, because the historic cultural heritage values of places and precincts in the Central Business Zone will not be protected and enhanced (clause 22.1.3.1(d)), and the building will be an individually prominent building in street elevation by virtue of its height and bulk (clause 22.1.3.2(d)).
2. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.1 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, because proposed demolition would result in the loss of original 19th century historic fabric that contributes to the historic cultural heritage significance of the place, and it has not been demonstrated that:
a) there
are environmental, social, economic, or safety reasons of greater
value to the community than the historic cultural heritage values of the place, b) there
are no prudent and feasible alternatives, and, c) important structural or façade elements that can feasibly be retained and reused in a new structure, are to be retained.
3. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A1 P1 (a) of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, because it is an incompatible design through height, scale, bulk, form, fenestration, siting, and materials being adjacent to a two storey heritage listed building.
4. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.7.2 A1 or P2 (a), (b) and (c) of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, because it will not be subservient and complementary to the listed place due to its bulk, scale, and siting with respect to a listed building
5. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause E13.8.1 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, because proposed demolition would result in the loss of a building and an historic wall that contributes to the historic cultural heritage significance of the precinct, and it has not been demonstrated that:
a) there
are environmental, social, economic, or safety reasons of greater
value to the community than the historic cultural heritage values of the place,
and, b) there are no prudent
and feasible alternatives, and, c) the replacement building will be more complimentary to the heritage values of the precinct.
6. The
proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion
with respect to clause E13.8.1 A1 or P1 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme
2015, because the design and siting of the proposal results in detriment
to the historic cultural heritage significance of the precinct through its
siting, bulk, height, and scale treatment. 7. The proposal does not meet the acceptable solution or the performance criterion with respect to clause 22.4.1 A1 or P5 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, because the height of the proposed building unreasonably dominates and has a materially adverse impact on existing buildings of cultural heritage significance.
