                    Figure 7 – Extract of Approved Operational Works - Landscaping

A pre-lodgement meeting was held with the applicant’s consultants on 16 March 2022 wherein
the Council staff advised:
   • Whilst there was merit with providing a childcare centre it is an inconsistent use and results
     in diminished area for business uses within the Business Park Precinct.
   • The RAL approval requires 10 metres of planting.
   • Shortfall of carparking to be justified.
   • Concerns with access and carparking conflicts.
   • Landscaped open space less than required 15%
   • Stormwater concerns.
Following lodgement of the current development application an information request was issued by
Council which raised a number of concerns including the requirement for the 10-metre landscape
setback, stormwater and carparking.
