PlanningAlerts

Secondary Consent Amendment to approved plans - to change the shading device to satisfy condition 1f of the planing permit. We originally nominated louvre shutters, however, we wish to change this device to external vertical blinds. We note that the delegate report also suggests using vertical blinds as an option for satisfying the shading requirements. External shutters are very difficult to use where applied to the external face of first floor bedroom windows as the windows can only be opened to a max 125mm (restricted requirements under the building code). This mens it is almost impossible to extend an arm out of the opening to operate the shutters. A vertical blind can be operated remotely and is more likely to be used for the intended purpose of controlling the sun.
