5. CONCLUSION
The development proposal is considered to be consistent with the character of the area which
comprises large residential dwellings. The proposed renovations will substantially improve the
existing brick and tile building and reflect the desired coastal character through the incorporation of
a varied roof form, wide eaves a mix of materials and open plan design with large ground floor
decks and recreation areas. The building sits well on the site and will not detrimentally impact on the
locality.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as previously detailed. These grounds
include:
           The proposed dwelling substantially improves the appearance of the existing dwelling
           through the use of varied roof forms and substantial eaves.
           The contemporary design maximises the desirable northern orientation of the lot;
           The proposed dwelling is consistent with the character of the area which includes
           substantial dwellings built to the boundary and extending into the seaward boundary
           setback areas;
           The development does not propose any new structures into the seaward boundary
           setback area and maintains and improves the existing structures that intrude into this area;
           The existing intrusions are less imposing than the intrusions associated with the existing
           development to the south of the site; and
           The proposed form of the building is consistent with the scale of development that has
           occurred in the surrounding area.
