        (f)   Development displays a high standard of amenity in terms of built form, scale, character and landscape design.
 Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance
 outcomes can be met. Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are
 considered as one way to satisfy the corresponding performance outcome.
