   15    The driveway shall be sealed for a minimum length of 10m from the edge of
         bitumen of Black Mountain Road and any section of driveway with a gradient
         greater than 12%

  With respect to Condition 15 of the permit, we advise Council that the driveway
  entrance is in very good condition. It is also acknowledged that the subject site is
  located in a rural area and sealing driveways when on a gentle gradient is not a
  mandatory requirement. Given the outstanding condition of the existing gravel
  driveway and the aesthetics that the driveway provides to the property and the rural
  character of the locality, bitumening the first 10m is unnecessary. It is also noted
  that the driveway is in a position that will not adversely affect any adjoining residents
  with respect to dust and noise nuisance given the considerable distance between the
  existing driveway and adjoining dwellings. The photos displayed below clearly
  indicate the exceptional quality and aesthetics of the existing driveway.
