Figure 8 – A well designed built form



Western building setback

The upper level wall is setback 1.5m.

The upper level is on the southern side of the neighbouring property, so there is no opportunity for
adverse overshadowing to occur. Windows have a sill height of 1.7m above the FFL to mitigate any
potential overlooking. The external material is light weight weatherboard, is not bulky and of a scale
compatible with surrounding development.

It is important to note the neighbouring lot is to be developed by the same owner and has been
designed to enhance the amenity between neighbours. The proposed 1.5m provides a generous
amount of space for landscaping and determined to comply with PO12 of the Medium Density
Residential Code.

Rear Setback

The deck and a small portion of roof is within the 6m setback and requires a minor relaxation. The
rear of the lot is an odd shape and as a result one of the dwellings encroach into the setback.
Importantly, the second dwelling is setback nearly 10m from the rear boundary. The encroachment
is to a deck and small part of the roof and will not create overshadowing and screening devices
negate any overlooking opportunities. The proposed setback is a result of an odd lot shape and is
minor in nature and complies with the Code provisions.

Eaves

The proposal seeks eaves to 44% of the perimeter of the building. Acceptable Outcome AO19 seeks
