The 1990 Planning Scheme prescribes the following development parameters:

      •    Plot Ratio - 0.45:1;
      •    Site Cover - 40%; and
      •    Gross Floor Area - 232.2m².

Accordingly, the proposed development complies with the prescribed maximum plot ratio of 0.45:1 and site cover of 40%, while resulting
in a minor exceedance of the prescribed GFA provisions.

Notwithstanding the minor exceedance, the proposed change does not materially alter the scale, intensity or physical footprint of the
approved development. The additional GFA is generated solely through the enclosure of existing balconies located wholly within the
established building form and does not involve any outward expansion of the building footprint.

Importantly, the proposed works will not result in any additional dwelling units, increased building height or material change to the
established setbacks or spatial relationship of the development with adjoining properties. The existing balconies currently form part of the
visual presentation and built form of the development, such that their enclosure will result in only a minor change to the external appearance
of the buildings.

On this basis, the minor increase in GFA will not result in any consequential adverse impacts upon streetscape character, building bulk and
scale, privacy, overlooking or the residential amenity of adjoining properties. The development will continue to present as a low density
residential development consistent with its established and approved built form.

Accordingly, notwithstanding the minor exceedance of the historical GFA provisions, the proposed change represents an appropriate
planning outcome having regard to the nature and extent of the works and the absence of any material additional impacts arising from the
development.

We trust Council will issue a favourable Development Permit in due course and should Council have any questions with respect to the above,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
