    (c) has a form and architectural scale that does not dominate the streetscape or the surrounding
        properties;
    (d) does not detract from the visual amenity of adjoining properties through the impact on views,
        access to sunlight or overlooking;
    (e) takes the form of small separate buildings, rather than large single bulky development; and
    (f) sits within a landscaped setting.
It is considered the proposal complies fully with the design requirements of the Medium Density Zone
Code on the following grounds:
•   The asymmetrical design outcome is 1 Acceptable outcome of 9 design requirements part of AO14.
    The proposal complies fully AO14.1 (a), (c) & (d), AO14.2 and AO14.3 (a), (b), (c) & (d), demonstrating
    a good design outcome.

•   A mix of materials are used facing the street;

•   The built form is articulated and architecturally designed;

•   Most of the building is setback greater than the required 6m;

•   The design is a contemporary outcome which will enhance and contribute positively to the locality,
    noting that much of the built form on this side of Grant Street is old stock and this proposal will set a
    high standard;

•   The street facing façade is interesting with each dwelling using a mix of material giving the units an
    individual character;

•   The building is designed to step up the slope from the street with level 1 pergola setback a generous
    10m and the level 2 wall setback further, with a 12.5m setback, demonstrating the development will
    not dominate the street given the significant setbacks proposed.

•   The development is fully compliant with the applicable AO’s regarding Setbacks, Site cover, Plot ratio,
    LOS, POS as well as providing strategically placed screening devices for privacy and weather
    protection which demonstrates the proposal will not impact on views, access to sunlight or overlook
    neighbouring or nearby properties;

•   The built form exceeds required setbacks and complies with Site cover and Plot ratio which are the
    key parameters regulating scale and bulk demonstrating the development is not bulky nor of a scale
    that will dominate the locality. Each unit is staggered with an individual presentation to the street; and

•   The proposal exceeds the quantity of soft landscaping required with landscaping provided to the whole
    perimeter of the site, a generous portion within the frontage and rear yards.
