       provided to the north east of the site (contributing to the existing vegetation);

       the visual bulk of on-site business uses, screen loading/servicing areas, buffer outdoor
       dining areas, significantly improve the visual amenity of the 3 site frontages; and
      landscaping proposed for the off-street car parking areas is considered to
       adequately reduce the visual impacts of the development, provide for the shading
       of vehicles and the reflection of radiation, provide sufficient areas in support of
       canopy trees as well as maximise the opportunity for infiltration (and quality control
       measures) of rainwater on-site (through bio-retention basins).
