ASSESSMENT

The additional plans for the fall prevention platform associated with the spa detail an encroachment
into the 6 metre setback along the side boundary and into the open space conservation zone.

The proposed encroachment are considered to comply with Specific Outcome relating to setbacks as
detailed below:

      O1 Buildings and other structures are appropriately designed and sited to—
        a) provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and acoustic
             privacy of adjoining and nearby land uses;

              The area of encroachment relates to fall prevention platforms that are required for the
              spa area. It is noted that the spa itself is appropriately setback from the boundary.

              The platforms still enable the provision of substantial areas for screen planting and it is
              noted that the spa is located at a level similar to the pool of the adjoining dwelling
              however a sufficient landscape buffer of almost 4.0 metres is available for screen
              planting.
