The proposal provides for 1m setbacks to the side boundaries for much of the site and a
build to boundary wall for the garage. Both the superseded Planning Scheme and the Noosa
Plan 2020 seek appropriate separation between buildings to maintain or improve privacy,
general amenity and shading. It is determined that sufficient separation is provided, and the
following design elements demonstrate the design has resulted in no new impacts,
maximised privacy and amenity and a non-worsening of shading—
•     The design includes adequate natural light and ventilation to habitable rooms on the site
      and adjoining buildings.
•     The design minimises the impact of building work on the amenity and privacy of
      residents of adjoining premises.
•     The proposal provides adequate space at the rear of the lot to support outdoor living,
      recreation, landscaping, privacy, natural light, and ventilation for the benefit of residents.
•     The design closely aligns and is complementary with the existing built form and the
      original villas within the site.
     Overall, the proposal provides good separation between buildings and retains the
     amenity in terms of privacy, shading and noise.
    Car parking and access
    The proposal is for 4 bedrooms and has provided 2 car spaces within the lot boundaries in
    accordance with the Planning Scheme. Vehicle access is generally in the same location
    as the existing access.
    Vegetation
    The vegetation was planted as part of the original development and OPW22/0022. An
    arborist report is provided, which concludes the growth of the plants has been significantly
    constrained in the very urban environment and as such are not thriving. It was
    recommended to remove the vegetation and properly prepare the ground and replant
    around the boundaries and driveway. Additional conditions with species and sizes are
    recommended in this regard.
