10. Due to the slope of the land and the design of the dwelling (significant cut), it is not compliant with
    AO20.1-20.3 & PO20 of the Low Density Res Zone code.

    The cut proposed is required on a site this steep as the building quickly pushes out of the ground
    and hits the height limit.

    The design has used split levels on the lower floor to reduce the impact on the site.

    The majority of other houses on the street have a bulky appearance, utilise benching on the site
    and have a flat roof that is not parallel with the contours of the land.

    Most appear 3 storeys and have large amounts of cut and retaining.

    The top of the lower floor of the proposed building is generally at the same height as the rear
    prevailing vegetation which hides the lower floor from the beachside.

    See below examples of houses on the street.
