           a house or any habitable buildings. Details can be obtained from Council.
C.   Find the following are sufficient grounds sufficient to justify the decision despite the
     conflict with the planning scheme:
     1.    The smaller lot will contain a recently constructed house and modern effluent
           treatment system and has been demonstrated to be suitably sized for its use;

           and
     3.    The development will not negatively impact on the residential amenity or village
           character of Cooran.

of the proposal plan is included as Attachment 1.
