considered that the proposed car parking of 5 spaces is satisfactory for the proposed use
provided class times are staggered, with a 15 minute break between classes.

(pump) and disturbance during the tenancy fit out (emissions) may cause some nuisance to the
adjoining and surrounding tenancies of the complex. The application does not propose methods
of mitigating noise levels or disturbance of the use and during the fit out of the tenancy. However,
it is expected that some resulting level of noise associated with typical industrial business uses
can be anticipated in the industry area. A condition has been included to ensure noise and other
emissions generated by the development causes no detrimental effect upon the amenity of the
area.
