                   any existing vegetation within the Open Space Conservation zone, and is within
                   an existing disturbed part of the site.

            2.     The proposed house does not conflict with any of the values intended to be
                   protected by the Open Space Conservation zone and will not adversely impact
                   on the Mount Cooroy Conservation Park.
