apply generally throughout the Locality and has been found to be consistent with these
requirements for the following reasons:

         impacts on the amenity of local area or adjoining properties;

         will be setback more than 250m from the road and will be largely screened by existing
         vegetation.

         function of Pomona Kin Kin Road;

         consistent with the natural characteristics of the site;

        the proposed buildings comply with the 8m maximum building height limit for the site;

        the scale and intensity of the development is compatible with the rural zoning of the site;
