Town Planning Assessment Report (1)

  1.5m to the planter and 2
  metres to the wall;
● Roof setbacks are proposed
  at 1.447 metres (north)
  and 1.5 metres (south).

Despite these encroachments,
the proposal is considered to
comply with PO9 for the
following reasons:

● The extent of the setback
  intrusions to the north on
  the Upper Level is an eave
  and planter. The wall
  setback to the upper study
  is compliant at 2m. Privacy
  is afforded to the resident
  and northern adjoining
  neighbour through the
  inclusion of high window
  sills, privacy screening and
  exceeding             setback
  requirements.         Though
  seback 1m, the media
  room on the Main Level
  comprises a solid wall with
  no openings to the north;
● The                 proposed
  built-to-boundary wall to
  the southern boundary is
  of solid construction, which
  results in minimal acoustic
  or privacy impacts to the
  southern           neighbour.
  Existing vegetation on the
  adjoining sites will also
  assist in maintaining visual
  privacy. The roof planter
  will     provide    additional
  privacy measures to the
  Upper Level;
● Sufficient landscaping is
  proposed        along      site
  boundaries where practical
  to minimise the impact of
  the built form, provide
  screening and improve the
  amenity of the proposal;
● A number of side setback
  intrusions     are    evident
  within the streetscape, and
  the proposal is considered
