       the development site.
    c) The use of motor scooters and motorcycles are promoted as an alternative to cars within urban areas, with appropriate parking
       provided for such vehicles.

    e) Vehicular access does not impact adversely upon existing landscaping or native vegetation.
    f) Driveways and parking areas provide safe and efficient pedestrian and cycle access.
    g) Access, parking, servicing and associated manoeuvring areas do not detract from the streetscape character, and are designed to
       discourage crime and antisocial behaviour.
