2018 Proposal perspective – height



Setbacks

As part of the refinement of the proposal plans the applicant has revised the side boundary setbacks in
relation to height. The areas of non-compliance are still minor and reflective of the existing approved
setbacks providing sufficient area for landscaping and building separation.

Grounds in support of the proposed changes include, but are not limited to the following:
           • there are no significant changes to the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance,
           • there is no increase in the number of units or population density of the development;
           • the building design is consistent with the character of the area
           • there are no changes in traffic generation and therefore no additional impacts on the existing
             driveway access;
           • the areas of non compliance are minor and are consistent with the current approvals relevant
             for the site;
           • the proposed changes are consistent with the existing development conditions; and
           • the revised plans provide a building with greater articulation and usable landscaped areas.

Conclusion

The applicant wishes to make a change to the existing approval by changing the approved plans to reflect a
revised building design that is more relevant to the current market. The change is requested to be
favourably considered by Council.
