     2.2. Site Description

     Site Description

     Road Frontage                           The site has a 28.2m frontage to Seaview Terrace.

     Existing Significant Vegetation         Nil.

     Topography                              The site has a natural gradient of approximately 23% from the
                                             west to east of the lot.

     2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
     The surrounding land uses of the site consist of dwellings to the north, south, east and west. The
     surrounding uses are consistent with the Eastern Beaches locality. The height of dwellings range
     from 1-2 storeys and are typically large in size and scale, though the adjoining house to the east
     is a single storey, modest building which is likely to be redeveloped in the future. Given the
     area’s topography, some dwellings in the area have been granted a variation to the maximum
     building height for the area of 8m.
     3.      ASSESSMENT
     3.1. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
     The application must be assessed against the Detached House Code:
     The subject site is located in the Eastern Beaches Locality and is zoned Detached Housing. The
     proposed use is defined as a consistent use within this zone. The table below details the
     dwelling’s compliance with key parameters of the Detached House Code.
