   REPORT
   A report for this application was presented to Council at the Planning and Environment
   Committee on 12 July 2022. The report addressed a range of issues including geotechnical,
   coastal hazards, front setback, site cover, being three storeys and the inclusion of a rooftop
   terrace. The application was recommended for approval subject to conditions.
   During the meeting a concern was raised with regards to the part of the dwelling that is
   cantilevered within the coastal building setback being enclosed and not open as required by
   the planning scheme.
   The applicant subsequently stopped the Decision-Making Period until 18 August 2022 in
   order to address privacy and overlooking concerns raised by a nearby resident. On 11 August
   2022 the applicant extended the stopped period until 15 September 2022.
   On 19 August the applicant submitted amended plans. The modifications are intended to
   address the overlooking concerns and include:
       1.4m high angled privacy screen;
       1m wide planter; and
       8m wide mature canopy tree along the northern property boundary (between the pool
        and public walkway).
