5. CONCLUSION
The development proposal is considered to be consistent with the character of the area with the dwelling
stepping down the site and incorporating modern design elements.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as previously detailed. These grounds include:
             The proposed dwelling respects the topography of the site by stepping down the slope;
             The proposed dwelling is consistent with the character of the area which includes a mix
              of contemporary designs and older houses;
             The dwelling has been located to provide good landscape setbacks to the front and rear
              of the lot;
