PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               6 SEPTEMBER 2016




                              Figure 12 – Height Envelope Plan Extract

The highest structure, Building G, is 9.14m above natural ground level. The heights are
predominantly due to the site’s slope and the relaxations sought are considered relatively minor.
The non-complying roof areas sit below the upper ridgelines at the rear of the skillion roofs. The
proposal plans indicate building heights will be less than 8m above finished ground levels, due to
retained garden beds at the front of the buildings. Given the isolated location of the buildings, the
minor height relaxations will not have a significant impact on visual amenity of the area, views of
the site from the west, or impact on existing residents in Resort Drive and are supported.
    Building Height in Storeys
Most buildings include parking within a basement level. Due to the site slopes, the basements sit
well below natural ground level at the rear and project through that level at the front of the
buildings to the west – see indicative building cross sections below.
