INTRODUCTION AND VISION The Belle View Estate is a new community of 300 homes located next to the Helena River in Bellevue, Midland. The development is carefully planned to create: A centrepiece of the Heritage Precinct that contains 40 single

residential lots on the entry street that leads to the historic brick Homestead built in 1887

Public access to and along the Helena River floodplain, quality

parkland with mature trees and distant views along streets of the Darling Scarp

An attractive residential neighbourhood with different lot sizes and

housing types A walkable network of shady tree-lined streets. Inspiration for these Heritage Precinct Design Guidelines comes from acknowledging the informal village lifestyle that exists in Bellevue; surrounding landscape colours; characteristics of both the heritage buildings in the area and newer residential design in Midland that is evolving to strengthen the local aesthetic. The idea is not to replicate heritage, but to encourage design with an identifiable vernacular character and, therefore, a classic timelessness. The Vision for the dwellings and their site planning at the Heritage Precinct is to reflect:

A contemporary and respectful interpretation of quality local traditional architecture in Bellevue and

other evolving newer areas of Midland A cohesive village feel developed through the designs of two-storey homes with frontages that are

articulated by at least one substantial feature, such as a projecting verandah, balcony or bay window, and a sharing of a palette of selected materials and colours

Informality and neighbourliness through the creation of open and attractive streetscapes. Vehicular

access to car bays on the lot and the location of services (such as meters and bin collection) are at the rear of the lot.

Responsiveness of the dwelling and open space to climate, particularly access of cooling summer

breezes and northern winter sun light through correct house orientation and the use of shade and filter devices for alfresco areas, walls and openings

A close integration between the front garden design and streetscape. The following images help to define the architectural context for the Heritage Precinct at Belle View. Whilst the traditional heritage buildings in Midland are generally single storey, the strong elements that define the character shall provide inspiration for the aesthetic of the two-storey built form that is sought in the Belle View Heritage Precinct. The roof form is dominant on the dwelling with the overall form being a simple steeply-pitched hipped roof or a well balanced mix of a hipped and gable end roof; smaller gablets add a decorative touch with fretwork in a contrast colour. Materials include grey or red metal and tiles in red or orange/brown. Wide eaves sit like a hat on the building and provide climate protection of the openings, or are flush where the verandah roof abuts the wall. Brick load bearing walls convey the qualities of integrity and solidity with punctures for vertically-orientated windows that include glass subdivided into smaller panes.

Figure 1: Architectural context and character precedence for housing in the Bellevue and Midland area A wide and deep ornate verandah attached to the house with a separate roof provides a welcoming shaded space that faces the front garden and street. Other types of shade structure include a simple awning over a window and a projecting and taller height porch that denotes the location of the front door. Colours and materials reflect the locality and heritage - key elements are red clay brick, white stone banding and quoins, green highlights, white horizontal weatherboard and red and grey roofs of metal and flat tile. Posts, exposed eave rafters, and finer grained detailing are generally a white colour to highlight the delicacy of these smaller structures against the solidity of the wall. The proportion of the building is human-scaled, vertical orientation (such as openings being taller rather than wider) and clearly expressed elements are tied together through the use of horizontal contrast colour or material. Fences are low height and open vertical style to allow a friendly visual connection between the house, front garden and the street.

Figure 2: Contemporary architectural precedence for housing in the Midland area The images above show examples of newer two-storey residential buildings in the locality and which demonstrate a contemporary and respectful interpretation of the heritage character found in Midland. The two-storey height building is the key difference from older heritage dwellings and is due mainly to the narrower lot sizes and larger floor plans that accommodate the more expansive needs of a modern household. To continue the traditional characteristic of a shaded and useable outdoor area on the frontage, an ideal structure is the combined upper floor roofed balcony above a verandah. The balcony roof overhang is supported on narrow posts and is either a large gable end or a hipped roof with a smaller gablet. The roof is hipped and may include a large feature open or closed gable end.

Walls are load bearing masonry or a frame structure that is clad with weatherboard, for example, and may include a lighter weight material at the first floor level. For a two-storey dwelling, the ground floor is expressed as a solid base with punctured vertically orientated openings that aligns with similar proportion openings at the upper level. Decoration is simple to avoid a cluttered look on a narrow elevation and to allow the building form, colours and materials to be expressed. The aim of these examples is to demonstrate the continuation of quality local traditional building design for the benefit of the community that will visit and live in the Heritage Precinct at Belle View.

1.0 GENERAL This section provides information on the intent of the Design Guidelines, a set of design objectives, and the process for an Applicant to follow to ensure a residential proposal receives Developer Approval. 1.1 AREA COVERED BY THE DESIGN GUIDELINES These Design Guidelines are applicable to all new residential development on the 40 lots coded R30 in the Heritage Precinct of Belle View (refer Appendix 7.1 Heritage Precinct Plan). All Applicants shall submit their design proposals for consideration for Developer Approval before an application to Council for statutory planning approval.

These Design Guidelines aim to ensure a high standard of dwellings on individual lots with a baseline design quality that will uphold the estate’s value, contribute to an attractive streetscape and an architectural character that relates to the context.

1.2 DESIGN OBJECTIVES

The Design Guidelines for the Heritage Precinct focus on the integration of lot planning, building and landscape design and environmental performance. The design objectives are:

A contemporary and predominantly two-storey built form, with a common palette of selected features, appropriate materials and colour. This will create an architecture that is distinctive and attractive in appearance; contributes to the streetscape, reflects a modern lifestyle yet continues the traditional aesthetic themes of the locality.

Climatically-responsive design, particularly through orientation of the dwelling with

openings and the principal outdoor living area facing north where possible, and building details such as shade-giving eaves and generous sized verandahs.

The safe use of the public domain, such as parks and streets, particularly through the

orientation of habitable rooms and openings to allow opportunities for casual overlooking. The promotion of sustainability initiatives to help reduce power and water use, encourage

efficient use of materials and support recycling, and planning for possible future changes in the house layout.

Attractive natural and planned landscape, by strengthening local character particularly in

publicly-visible areas through the careful selection of robust plants and outdoor structures that provide climate protection.

1.3 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL CONTEXT

These Design Guidelines form part of the Contract of Sale and are administered by the Developer. The Design Guidelines complement and shall be read in conjunction with all other relevant statutory planning and building construction requirements.

The Applicant shall meet the mandatory requirements of these Design Guidelines and consider incorporating the recommendations (refer Appendix 7.3 Checklist of Design Guidelines mandatory requirements). The Developer may consider an application that varies from the specific requirements of the Design Guidelines if, in its opinion, the design has architectural merit; supports the objectives for the development (as noted in section 1.2 above); and a written justification is provided. Approval of a variation shall be deemed not to set precedence. A Detailed Area Plan (DAP) applies to the lots and allows for a particular design outcome without prior knowledge of the building plan (refer section 2.0). Compliance with the DAP is assessed by the City of Swan.

1.4 DEVELOPER’S APPROVAL PROCESS The following flow chart explains the steps the Applicant shall take in the Developer’s Approval process, which will ensure the design complies with the Design Guidelines; this is prior to any application for Council’s statutory approval:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Developer’s Approval of a building design shall not imply or guarantee a statutory development approval by the City of Swan. The City of Swan will consider the Developer’s approval of a building design as supporting advice included in the statutory approval process. Any improvements to a Lot that are not in accordance with the approved design shall be removed upon notification or rectified at the expense of the Lot owner.

1.5 DOCUMENTATION The Applicant shall post two paper copies of the following information to the Developer for assessment against the mandatory requirements of the Design Guidelines (refer Appendix 7.4 for the Checklist and postal address for an application): Site plan, 1:200 minimum scale (showing levels; location of dwelling and garage; boundary

setback dimensions; location of services such as the drying yard, meters, any solar panels and air conditioner compressor unit; any other structures). The plan shall include a north point and annotation.

Floor plans, 1:100 scale Elevations, 1:100 scale Indicative materials and colours schedule (walls, roof, garage door, frames and details) If a front boundary or side boundary fence on a corner lot is planned, details of the design,

materials and colours shall be submitted.

STEP TWO Assessment of the application for compliance with the Design Guidelines - route A or B applies.

STEP ONE The Applicant posts 2 sets of Documentation to the Developer.

A The application fully complies with the mandatory requirements of the Design Guidelines - Step Three applies.

B The application requires modification or additional detail to comply with the Design Guidelines. The Developer advises the Applicant on the requirements who then revises and posts 2 sets of the updated plans for reassessment by the Developer as per Step Two.

STEP THREE The Developer approves the application and returns one ‘approved’ set and a confirmation checklist and letter to the Applicant. The Developer retains one set on file as a record. For an application to the City of Swan for statutory approval, the Applicant shall include the ‘Developer approved’ stamped set and confirmation letter together with all other required information.

2.0 SITE PLANNING The planning of the residence on a cottage lot with rear laneway requires compliance with the relevant provisions of the R-Codes and the Detailed Area Plan where applicable.

2.1 DETAILED AREA PLAN The Heritage Precinct includes 40 single residential lots with an R-Coding of R30 (refer Appendix 7.1 Heritage Precinct Plan). The mandatory requirements of the Design Guidelines apply to all lots and a Detailed Area Plan (DAP) is also applicable as endorsed by the City of Swan. Compliance with the DAP will be assessed for approval by the City of Swan. The DAP is particularly important for cottage lots with vehicular access from a rear lane; corner lots where orientation to the public realm is required; and, irregular shaped lots. The DAP indicates approved variations to the Residential Design Codes or requirements for specific design outcomes. Typical DAPs for an in-line lot and a corner lot are illustrated below. (Note: specific DAP’s may be required for some lots, and these will need to be prepared at the submission of a plan of subdivision and included as an appendix to the Design Guidelines).

3.0 DESIGN CHARACTER This section describes the mandatory requirements that will ensure the dwelling reflects the character desired at the Heritage Precinct in the Belle View Estate.

These controls apply to all the elevations of the dwelling. The following mandatory requirements will help to achieve an overall quality built form and streetscape (refer to the imagery in Figures 1 and 2 for guidance).

3.1 SCALE

Two-storey minimum development shall be at the front of the lot next the street. A lower single storey portion for the dwelling is permitted at the rear of the lot, with an exception for the establishment of living accommodation over the rear garage.

The ground floor shall have at least a 2.7m floor-to-ceiling height for main living areas.

3.2 ELEVATION FEATURES The front elevation shall be articulated with useable features to avoid a flat fronted appearance:

The front elevation shall be articulated through the inclusion of at least one substantial

projecting feature such as a veranda, balcony, porch or a ground level bay window. The depth shall be 1.5m minimum deep and one third minimum width of the house frontage.

Combined features are encouraged such as a two-storey height structure of a ground floor veranda or porch and balcony above, or a bay window and balcony above.

A verandah may include a bull nose or straight edge roof. A balcony shall include a balustrade of open rails; glass is not preferred. A ground floor bay window shall be fully glazed up to the ceiling on all sides with a 0.9m

maximum cill height above floor level. A dwelling's elevations on a corner lot shall address both streets with openings and the same

quality of design and detailing on both publicly visible elevations. The building corner shall be articulated with, for example, a wraparound verandah, balcony, bay window or, subject to design, a substantial feature material.

3.3 ROOF

The dwelling roof shall be pitched, and may include a mix of large gable ends and hipped roofs.

26.5 degrees minimum main hipped roof for the two-storey element at the front of the lot. 450mm minimum width for roof eaves. Rafter ends shall be exposed at the eaves. 300mm minimum gable overhang. A large open gable end shall include a strut design or an infill material on the wall. Smaller decorative gablets are encouraged but shall not over clutter the roof form. 24 degrees minimum hipped roof pitch for a single storey dwelling or car parking structure at

3.4 DETAILS

Details such as window surrounds, corbels and fretwork, shall be consistent in style and contribute to the design without over-cluttering the dwelling's appearance.

3.5 OPENINGS Windows shall be punctures in the solid wall and generally aligned above each other for an

ordered two-storey building. The front elevation shall include at least two major openings to a minimum of two habitable

rooms located at the front of the dwelling. For a dwelling on a corner lot, at least the front 3m of the side elevation from the truncation

shall be visible from the street before any side boundary privacy fence. Openings shall be included on both walls of a corner ground floor habitable room.

Publicly visible openings shall be of a vertical proportion and be consistent in shape and style,

such as casement, awning or traditional vertically sliding sash windows. Horizontal sliding windows are not permitted on the visible elevations.

Solid wide framed bifold, French doors, and multi-paned windows are encouraged. Horizontal hi-light and square proportion windows for minor openings are permitted only if

screened from public view. Only clear glass and clear solar performance glass is acceptable on the publicly visible

elevations. Curved or mirror glass shall not face the public realm. All east and west facing openings shall include solar protection, such as openings being

located directly below roof eaves or shaded by an independent awning that is flat or pitched. Window detailing such as arches, protruding surrounds and cills are encouraged.

3.6 GARAGE OR CARPORT Vehicular access to car parking on the lot is from a rear lane.

At least one car bay shall be in an enclosed garage or carport. An overhead sectional door or a sliding gate shall secure all the car bays on the lot. A habitable room above the car parking structure is strongly encouraged. The room should

include openings or a balcony that is orientated towards the rear lane to provide passive surveillance opportunities.

4.0 BUILDING SERVICES Services, utility areas and any outbuilding shall be carefully incorporated into the dwelling and site

design. The following are mandatory requirements: 4.1 SERVICES

All pipes, wired services, clothes drying areas, hot water storage tanks and other such service items shall be screened from the public realm.

TV antenna and satellite dishes shall be in the least visually obtrusive location from the public realm (a rear lane is exempt), for example at the rear of the roof and below the highest roof ridgeline.

Electricity and gas meter boxes shall be located where they are visually unobtrusive from the

public realm yet accessible for readings. The best location is usually on the side wall of the dwelling with the boxes matching the wall colour.

Where a solar hot water system is visible from the public realm (a rear lane is exempt), a split

system (where the tank is separate and located elsewhere) shall be installed. If a system is installed on a hipped roof, the panels shall be at the same pitch as the roof.

Where the solar panels are concealed from public view, a combined system (where the tank and panels are together) may be installed.

An air conditioning unit shall be visually screened from the primary and any secondary street of

the Lot.

Compressor units shall be located at ground level and screened from public view.

5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

The Lot owner should take into account sustainable living practices in the design of the home and landscape. Listed below are recommendations to assist with solar design and to reduce the consumption of energy and water.

5.1 SOLAR DESIGN

The principal outdoor living area shall be orientated to the north to maximise winter solar access.

To enable use of the outdoor living area throughout the year, shade and breeze protection

measures should be used, such as screens, awnings, pergolas and shutters. 5.2 ENERGY REDUCTION

Bathrooms should be located on external walls and include an openable window for natural ventilation.

Openings should be located to promote breeze access and cross ventilation through the

dwelling to passively cool the dwelling and reduce reliance on mechanical heating.

High star-rated appliances (such as the fridge, freezer and washing machine) should be installed.

A heat pump or roof mounted solar hot water system should be installed (refer section 4.0 Services for advice on the type of system and permitted location).

An array of roof mounted photo voltaic cells should be installed; these panels may be visible

from the public realm but should be avoided on roofs facing the primary street. 5.3 WATER CONSERVATION

A rainwater tank to collect stormwater and to assist with landscape irrigation should be installed. The rainwater tank may be visible from the public realm if the colour complements the dwelling.

Waterwise landscape and fixtures (timers and irrigation systems) should be installed.

6.0 LANDSCAPE The landscape design of the publicly visible open spaces around the residence shall provide both an attractive setting for the building and useable areas for the occupants. 6.1 LANDSCAPE IN THE STREET SETBACK AREA

Landscape in the street setback area shall consist of a minimum of 50% vegetated area. Fully paved street setback areas will not be permitted.

Vegetated landscape should avoid obscuring sightlines between windows to ground floor

habitable rooms and pedestrians on any adjacent footpath to enable passive surveillance.

Paving materials shall compliment the materials of the building on the lot.

The use of water-wise planting (such as native or meditation species) is encouraged. 6.2 FENCES AND LETTERBOX

Front boundary fence and gate type Where a front boundary fence is to be installed by the lot owner (and not already provided

by the Developer), it shall be a maximum of 1.2m in height. The fence shall consist of a masonry base (0.5m maximum height) and a regular spacing of solid piers and include infill panels that are either timber picket or open style galvanised or powder coated rails.

Any gate shall match the style of the infill panel.

Side boundary fence for a corner lot Any fence installed by a lot owner along a corner truncation shall be a maximum of 1.2m in height and shall extend along the side boundary for a minimum length of 30% of the length of the side boundary. This fence shall be constructed of the same material and colour as any front boundary fencing.

The fence for the remainder of the side boundary shall be a maximum of 1.8m in height.

Rear A rear fence shall be solid masonry and 1.8m maximum height. To add interest, the fence design may be a combination of a solid masonry base and timber slats or metal rails. Dividing fence

The dividing fence shall be the specified standard fence for the estate/precinct (to be determined), unless otherwise constructed in brickwork or other masonry material that is complimentary to the building. Note: Agreement should be sought from adjoining owners on any fence other than the specified standard fence for the estate/precinct.

Letterbox The letterbox shall be incorporated in a masonry pier at the front boundary.
