Shadow and overshadowing in Campbelltown — common questions
Is shadow a risk in Campbelltown?
Shadow risk in Campbelltown is low to moderate. Established suburbs have larger lots with good separation. In newer estates and growth areas like Menangle Park, compact lot widths with standard 2-storey designs create moderate shadow risk between neighbours.
What causes shadow issues in Campbelltown?
In new estates, 2-storey dwellings on compact lots are the main source. In established suburbs, secondary dwelling additions and knockdown-rebuild projects replacing single-storey homes with 2-storey designs increase shadow on adjoining properties.
Are new estates in Campbelltown subject to shadow controls?
Yes. Campbelltown DCP requires shadow diagrams for 2-storey dwellings and additions. Applicants must demonstrate solar access to north-facing windows and principal outdoor space of adjoining properties.

Shadow analysis uses building footprints and height data from NSW Spatial Services aerial imagery. The ADG 3-hour minimum applies to habitable rooms in new residential development assessed under the Apartment Design Guide. Results are indicative only -- actual shadow impact depends on exact roof pitch, vegetation, and neighbouring building heights. Not planning advice.
