Development Application Letter

      •   There are a number of existing Dwelling Houses in the local area and there are no rural
          activities within the local area that would result in future residents experiencing
          unreasonable environmental harm;

      •   The proposed Dwelling House location has been chosen to avoid impacting areas of
          environmental value;

      •   The proposed dwelling house is located outside the areas mapped as containing
          bushfire hazard;

      •   The proposal use does not involve chemical or air pollutants; and

      •   Given the locations of the Dwelling Houses on the adjoining lots, it is considered that
          the position of the proposed Dwelling House will minimise any potential conflicts with
          future rural uses and activities within the local area.
