Councils information request also raised concerns that the proposal will impact on Unit 11 in terms of
access to sunlight particularly in winter. The applicants designer has provided amended shadow
diagrams that take into account the existing vegetation on site that currently shades Unit 11 and the
surrounding development (refer Attachment B). These diagrams demonstrate that the new
development on Lot 30 does not significantly alter the existing shading to Unit 11.

The applicant has considered Councils suggestion to increase the setback to Unit 11 however the
impacts of changing the setback results in a building that will be much closer to Unit 8 and to the rear
yard of Unit 8 which is not owned by the applicant as indicated in figure 2 below. As indicated in figure
3 below the proposal provides greater separation and opportunities for landscaping along the northern
boundary compared to the existing two units on the site.
