PROJECT URBAN – 18135                                                                                                   May 2018

the proposal is still considered to comply with the overarching Specific Outcome, O36 which
states that:

         “O36 Rural accommodation is appropriately sited so as not to generate land use conflict
         with neighbouring residents and Agricultural Uses.


Comment: As can be seen on the Part Site Plan, setbacks from the property to the northern
boundary range from 25.7 metres to 52 metres, with an average setback is 37.5m. It is
considered that the proposed setbacks are appropriate given that the site to the north is not
used for agricultural purposes. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4 below, the proposed cabins will
be located approximately 320m and 340m from the nearest dwelling houses to the north and
north-east. There is an existing shed located 63m to the north of the nearest cabin. The Figure
also shows that there is mature vegetation that will screen the cabins from both these dwellings
and this will be supplemented, where necessary, to provide additional privacy.




                                                       322m from existing house




                              63m from existing shed




                                                                          Northern-most cabin
                                                                                                      344m from existing house
                                                                          (proposed) – 25.7m
                                                                          setback

In conclusion, the proposal is considered to comply with the relevant Assessment Benchmarks in
the Visitor Accommodation Code.
