Streetscape Amenity


 Issue

 A number of aspects of the proposed development do not provide for an appropriate
 response to the streetscape and amenity of surrounding properties, these concerns are
 related to:

  the outdoor rooms situated above the garage;
  the raising of the ground level to align with the floor level of the first floor and the
   associated walls and fences to the side boundaries; and
  non compliant setbacks

 These result in:

  overlooking;
  presentation of excessive bulk to the streetscape and surrounding properties; and
  potential for overshadowing

 Advice Required

 4. An amended proposal which reduces the scale and bulk of the development and which
    protects the amenity of the adjoining properties.
