It is considered the proposal complies with PO7 for the following reasons:

•   The proposal is low rise being consistent with other buildings in the street as it does not exceed
    8m above NGL;
•   Does not present bulky to nearby or surrounding properties as the 3 storey portion is centrally
    located and the elevations all present 2 storeys;
•   The lot is constrained by the Coastal building line setback resulting in requiring an upper storey
    to achieve a reasonably sized dwelling sufficient for this location;
•   The design steps down the slope with a large void area to the north west corner providing
    articulation to the built form. In addition, a mix of material are proposed which provides a light
    weight look and feel while being robust to the coastal elements;
•   The proposal will clearly present as 2 storeys from the beach and the adjoining walkway and
    neighbouring properties as the upper level has good setbacks being 6.62m from the northern
    boundary, 10.5m from the southern boundary and 6.3m from the Seaview terrace boundary as
    clearly demonstrated in Figures 3 and 4 below;
•   No additional shading of the neighbouring properties will occur as it is centrally located within the
    lot;
•   Will not impede views given the 3 storey component is well below the allowable 8m above NGL.
