people using the building and buildings on adjoining
premises. SBR alternative provision to QDC Parts 11
and 12, PS.

The proposed residential development is
designed with the consideration of the existing
conditions and surroundings of the subject site, in
particularly with regards to the issues of privacy
and overshadowing, The building is well setback
from the northern boundary to minimised
carthworks. The longest shadow is cast to the
southern property which is well setback from the
boundary.

The proposed building includes a balcony for the
master bedroom on the first floor levels,
However, this does not affect the visual privacy
of the adjoining properties due to the fact that:
+ The land has a substantial fall toward

the beach (north-east direction,

By locating the master bedroom’s

wardrobe on the southern side of the

property, the privacy in maintain for

this building from a higher vantage

point of the adjoining neighbour, and;
The rooftop terrace is located over 6m away
from the neighbour of the northern site, thus
ovoid over looking into their private open space.

With the proposed dwellings setback accordingly
from respective boundaries, it is in our opinion
that there are no foreseeable issues in regards to
the adverse effects of privacy and overshadowing
to neighbouring properties.
