                          Figure 11 – Area of Variation @ 3rd storey (referred to as “Level Two” on architectural plans)

               All windows facing the rear boundary are designed with sill heights of 1.7 metres, which assists in
               maintaining privacy and minimising opportunities for overlooking. Furthermore, the reduced
               setbacks do not compromise the provision of landscaping at ground level.
               Having regard to the site's topography, existing vegetation, built form articulation, windowsill height,
               and the limited extent of the encroachment, residential amenity between adjoining premises is
               maintained.
               Accordingly, the development achieves the relevant Performance Outcome.


               Unit 1 and 2 side boundary setback
               Unit 1 and 2’s terraces are proposed within the side boundary setbacks. This is likely to raise issues
               of overlooking and create unnecessary bulk to the buildings mass. The terraces will be conditioned
               to be amended to comply with the 1.5 metre side boundary setback, this will avail a 1 metre wide
               terrace for servicing and clothes drying.


               Rooftop Terrace
               Acceptable Outcome AO17 of the High Density Residential Zone Code seeks: AO17.2
               Development does not include roof top terraces.
               The application includes a rooftop terrace and therefore is required to be assessed against the
               Performance Outcome.
               Performance Outcome PO17 seeks: PO17 Roof forms:
                    a. contribute positively to the local skyline;
                    b. complement the character of the locality and the topography of the site;
                    c. avoid box profiles/parapets; and
                    d. do not create opportunities for overlooking the private open space or internal spaces of
                       neighbourhood properties.
               The application includes a rooftop terrace for the exclusive use of occupants of Unit 4. The terrace
               complies with the 12-metre height requirement.
