  PO9
  Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
          1. provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
              including provision of visual and acoustic privacy and access to sunlight;
          2. not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
              areas of adjoining premises;
          3. provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
          4. preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
          5. allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including adequate area
              at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs and outdoor living;
          6. be consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape; and
          7. protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
              areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands.

  Comment:

  The proposed carport and rear alfresco extension have been designed to reflect the overall existing design
  of the dwelling house. They are of high level and will look like part of the original house. With regards to
  the rear alfresco, a 1m setback to the roof structure is maintained creating a reasonable setback to the
  adjoining property. The 1 metre setback allows for shrubs and other landscaping to be provided between
  the boundary and roof alfresco.

  Both adjoining rear properties pools and recreation areas back on to the proposed alfresco area.
  Accordingly, both adjoining rear property owners have provided landowner consent for the proposed
  relaxation. The common boundary with the two rear properties is landscaped with palm like species and
  creates a good ongoing visual and noise screening outcome.

  Overall development complies with PO9 in this circumstance.
