Should there be greater consistency between the State and local regulations which control ancillary structures? Should there be greater flexibility in front fence heights and materials? Is it appropriate to allow carports or swimming pools, forward of the front building line, in the front yard? Should the review address other issues concerning ancillary development?
Building envelopes guide a home’s allowable height, setbacks and site coverage and, together with landscaping, create and define the streetscape character through a balance of built form and landscaped spaces. Should there be greater consistency between the State and local regulations which control building envelopes? Should there be greater flexibility in building envelopes for homes on steep slopes and corner lots?
What are the key issues that need to be addressed to ensure homes are designed to suit the Tweed's conditions? How should the Tweed Building Code be amended to address these issues, while allowing flexibility in housing design?
