         Introduction of new 3 bedroom unit types (i.e. unit types 19, 20, 21 and 22);
         Minor variations to the building heights generally as follows:-
              o Block 23 – the receipt of more advanced structural engineering design for the dwellings units,
                  coupled with provision of a greater acoustic treatment between floors has resulted in a minor
                  increase of floor to floor heights by (circa) 130mm per level. This increase in height has been
                  offset by altering the pitch of the roof so as to limit the change to the overall building height, to
                  (circa) 400mm within the existing approved building height plane.
                  The extended building footprint down the hill, as a consequence of the redistributed Block 26
                  gross floor area, sits flush with the new building levels and results in a minor intrusion into the 8
                  metre building height limit measured from natural ground, wherein this intrusion generally
                  consists of balcony and an extended roof line / eave. Notwithstanding, we note that the
                  proposed building height remains well within an 8.0m height plane above the “finished ground
                  plane” at a maximum height of (circa) 6.875m;
              o Block 24 – the height of this building has changed in a similar manner to, and for the same reason
                  as, Block 23. The proposed building height of Block 24 also remains well within the 8.0m height
                  plane above the “finished ground plan” at a maximum height of (circa) 6.9m;
              o Block 25 – the overall height of this building has marginally increased (by circa 300mm) generally
                  as a consequence of minor changes to the floor to ceiling heights of individual levels of the
                  building combination with minor changes to the building footprint and roof line. The extension of
                  the built form into the 8 metre building height (above natural ground level) is very minor in
                  nature and predominantly comprises balcony and roof line / eave. Of not, the proposed building
                  height remains well within an 8.0m height plane above the “finished ground plane” at a maximum
                  height of (circa) 7.11m.

          The proposed new dwelling configuration for individual stages can be summarised as follows:-
