Understanding heritage conservation area (part II)

Our property does not have any classified heritage item. But it is located in the Blue Gum Heritage Conservation Area under Willoughby LEP 2012.  

The significance of the conservation area is related to its historic associations and subdivision and aesthetic character and values of the early 20th century period building and green setting of the area. Our aim is to show that the redevelopment will not interrupt the historic associations and the primary aesthetic significance and character of the area.

Our plan is to retain the existing building, its overall scale and existing Inter-war period character, main gabled and hipped roof, street facing gable, face brick and stone facades, brick and rendered details and overall presentation to the street. The existing street pattern, the front and side building and front garden setting will also be retained and improved.

The proposal also includes to improve the use and amenity of the existing building and site for ongoing residential use. The alteration and addition is confined to the interior and rear of the building and site, and will have no impact on its primary visual contribution to the area.
