                 b.     has a low site impact to maximise the opportunity to retain site characteristics, such
                        as native vegetation and natural landforms;
                 c.     allows the opportunity to provide soft landscaping between buildings;


               Assessment
               As shown at Figure 10 the Applicant states that 12 trees will be required to be removed to locate
               the new Dwelling. The applicant submits:
               The proposal satisfies PO8(b) as the development prioritises a low site impact to maximise the
               retention of existing site characteristics, including native vegetation and natural landforms. The
               careful placement of the building minimises disruption to the landscape and allows for the
               preservation of important ecological features. The proposed development preserves the existing
               vegetation and relocates where possible.
               Identified trees have been retained and indigenous planting species remain in place that contribute
               to screening and visually softening the development. These natural elements have been retained
