   A1 (d) For structures the minimum road setbacks are as for A1(a),(b), and (c) except for – …

      … (iii) roofed gatehouses and arches having –

           (A) a maximum area of 4m2 ; and
           (B) not more than 2m wide elevation to street; and
           (C) not more than 3m in height…

Response: The proposed gatehouse is 2.4m wide, 5.76m2 in area and has a height of 2.85m. The entry
gate faces perpendicular to the front boundary to reduce bulk to the street, and the gatehouse roof
provides a void to reduce bulk. The proposed gatehouse is commensurate to the size of the proposed
Dwelling House without contributing to excessive bulk and scale that complements the proposed built
form.

PO1 and PO2 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code

PO1 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   PO1 Development provides that for all flood events up to and including the DFE :
      a)​ the safety of people on the site is protected; and
      b)​ the risk of damage to property on the site is avoided or minimised as far as practicable.

AND

PO2 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   PO2 All lots have sufficient area that is above the DFE flood level or where modelling is not
   available, the highest recorded flood level, to safely and adequately accommodate the intended use.

AO1 and AO2 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code

AO1 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   AO1 The finished flood level is not less than the minimum design levels specified in Table 8.2.6.4.

AND

AO2 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   AO2 The minimum area above flood level (flood free area) for each lot, is in accordance with Table
   8.2.6.5.

PO3 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code

PO3 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   PO3 For reconfiguring a lot or operational works, development is undertaken in a manner that
   ensures:
      a)​ natural hydrological systems are protected from erosion, scour or flood damage on the
           premises or other premises;
      b)​ natural landforms and drainage lines are maintained to protect the hydraulic performance of
