L01 Statement to NSC

           d) preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development; Existing vegetation to be
              retained where possible. A large Tuckeroo is located at the front of the site and will be
              required to be removed to cater for the location of the driveway. The applicant is willing to
              replace the tree with a more appropriate species noting the power lines crossing the front
              of the site.

           e) allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings
              including adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs and outdoor
              living; - The eaves intrusion will not impact on landscaping being provided at ground
              level. The pedestrian walkway has the same function as a ground level pathway and
              enables landscaping to be provided at the front of the site.

           f)   be consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape; - A number of dwellings
                in the area have been constructed within the front setback area in recognition of the
                slope including premises at 26, 24, 22, 20,18, 16 and 14.

           g) protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
              areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands. – The areas of non compliance
              will not impact on the ecological values of the area.

Building Height

AO7.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code details details a building height of 8 metres. As
the proposal does not comply with this acceptable outcomes it is to be assessed against the
performance outcome below:

      PO7
      Buildings and structures:

            a) are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
            surrounding premises and with the predominant character of the area; - The area of
            intrusion relates to two small sections of the roof form the maximum of which is 10cm over
            the height. The overall building and roof form is below the height limit with the resultant
            building form consistent with the surrounding buildings.




            b) are designed to provide an interesting streetscape and complement landform changes; -
            The roof form and building recognise the slope of the site and step down the site. The areas
            of non compliance are not visible to the street.

            c) do not visually dominate the street or surrounding area; - The areas of intrusion are
            located to the near the centre and rear of the building and are not visible to the street and will
            not dominate the surrounding area.

            d) respect the scale of surrounding vegetation and maintain a vegetated skyline; - The
            areas of intrusion are minor and do not impact on existing vegetation. The existing
            vegetation to the rear of the site will still be visible to surrounding properties.
