Front setback for renovation where building setback is less than neighbouring setbacks

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Blacktown City Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Blacktown City Council,

I am writing to request clarification of the front setback requirement for renovations where my building's setback is less than those on the neighbouring sites.

Logic seems to dictate that the setback of the existing building should apply to the renovations, whereas my architect argues that the renovations have to be setback at the average of the neighbouring sites.

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Hicks

Blacktown Council, Blacktown City Council
