Dear Andrew,
Thank you for the plans of your proposed extension to 12A Jibbon street. We have studied the plans at length and would make the following comments.
1. The total plot area is 661 sq.m. and to obtain a 40% soft landscape area, 270.2sq.m. are required. According to your plans it would appear that based on your plot area of 280.54 sq.m. you will need 112.216 sq.m. SLR. Your plans only` give a SLR of 90.2 sq.m. (32.15%).
So your individual plot area does not morally comply by 22 sq.m. For your plot to comply you appear to be attempting to borrow soft land scape from my plot from within the strata plan and so restricting any increase I may want to do in later years, which I will not agree to. My understanding is the Floor Space Ratio (FSR) has to comply on each lot as well as the total plot but the Soft Landscape ratio (SLR) does not.
4. Finally, If your car port/bedroom conversion adjoins our wall in effect the two properties become Semi-detached and as such potentially devaluing our property from a detached property (linked only by your carport) which we purchased.
In conclusion, this letter is not a refusal but unless all the above points of concern and relevant drawings are altered to my satisfaction then I will not be agreeing to your development.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Howard
