    hi Everyone

                   I have a house on a 1200 sqm block of land witch is towards the front corner of the block and it's zoned commercial land. I wanted to put a house down the back of the yard and turn it into 2 titles but was told that the side drive way was to small for a battle axe cut (it's 3.9 m wide). So I would like to know would i be able to put a house behind the first and keep it on one title with 2 houses on it.

    Any help would be great

    Thanks Rob

    Hi Rob,

    I'm surprised the driveway is considered too narrow – we just have planning permit issued for a back unit, and our drive is less than 3.5 metres.  Depends on the council I suppose; but investigate further.  Don't just take the first no for an answer.  3.9 is quite a wide driveway.

    Refer to the LEP for the zoning to check what the requirements are for battleaxe handle. If you are still unsure, speak to the town planner to determine the requirements.
