               SPECIAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                        5 JUNE 2019


               of the terrace and therefore the provision of any sun protection devices will result in additional
               bulk being visible from the streetscape, surrounding properties and the broader locality.
               Furthermore, the extended lineal form of the timber screen is not consistent with the Specific
               Outcomes for the Neighbourhood Centre zone as it does not provide for a subtle change in
               colours, textures and materials to break up the building facades.
               The following images demonstrate the scale of the building in comparison to surrounding
               properties and the strong lineal elements to both the lower and upper level.

               Plot Ratio
               For the Neighbourhood Centre Zone the maximum plot ratio is as follows—
                      a)      0.8:1 for site areas up to and including 2000m2 ; and
                      b)      0:3:1 for that area of a site in excess of 2,000m2.
               As the subject site is 271m2 in area the permissible plot ratio equates to 216.8m2.
               As noted previously in this report, Section 6.2.3 of the Superseded Planning Scheme allowed
               Council the discretion to grant floor space bonuses for developments that provide improved
