                             d. Does not present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
                                surrounding premises and with the predominant character of the area further
                                extending the level of non-compliance with the scheme.
                 2.     The proposal does not comply with Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 and Performance
                        Outcome PO8 the Low Density Residential Zone Code as it exceeds the allowable site
                        cover and:
                             a. The existing dwelling exceeds the maximum site cover of 40% of the site area
                                and the additions further exacerbate the non-compliance of the site;
                             b. The proposal will result in a site cover of 37.5% on the upper level and 40.4% on
                                the middle floor, and 35.9% on the lower level, further exceeding the
                                requirements of the relevant provisions;
                             c. Is not of a scale or character compatible with the surrounding development;
                             d. Presents an appearance of bulk from all three storeys to adjacent properties and
                                other areas in the vicinity of the site.
                 3.     The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 6.3.1.2 (2)(c) of the Low Density
                        Residential Zone Code given the development would not maintain the low scale
                        character of the zone, given the cumulative impacts of non-compliant building height,
                        number of storeys and site cover; and
                 4.     There are no relevant reasons to approve the proposed further increases to building
                        height or site cover from the maximum benchmarks specified by the Noosa Plan 2020
                        for this area.
