   3.      The roof pitch appears to be less than 5% as specified under S16.1
           of the Detached House Code. Demonstrate compliance with this
           requirement or specify what pitch is proposed and justify
           accordingly.

Response

The existing building is a 2 storey flat roofed design with a roof top terrace. The
proposed additions have been designed with a low pitch to integrate with
the existing building.

The Building Works Code does not contain any provisions relating to roof pitch
and therefore the proposed roof design is compliant with the outcomes of
the code.

Information Requested

           location and orientation of the roof top terrace. Does it differ from
           the one that exists/ed?

Response

No changes are proposed to the existing roof top terrace. The extent of the
existing structure is detailed on the aerial photograph below:
