               Front setback
               Acceptable Outcome AO9.1 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code states:
               AO9.1 Buildings and structures have a setback of 6 metres from the road frontage, provided that
                     setback to one frontage may be reduced to 4.5 metres where the lot:
                          d.      has frontage to more than one road; and
                          e.      is less than 600m2 in area; or
                          f.      is less than 15 metres in width.
               The applicant is proposing a 5.3 metre setback to the entry awning (Figure 11) and as such does
               not comply with AO9.1of the Low Density Residential Zone Code. The proposal is therefore
               required to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO9 of the Low Density Residential
               Zone Code, which states:
               PO9        Buildings and structures are designed and sited to:
                          a.      provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                                  including provision of visual and acoustic privacy and access to sunlight;
                          b.      not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or
                                  habitable areas of adjoining premises;
                          c.      provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
                          d.      preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
                          e.      allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including
                                  adequate area at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs and outdoor living;
                          f.      be consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape; and
                          g.      protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
                                  areas such as national parks, waterways and wetlands.

               Assessment
               The subject site falls away steeply from Ross Crescent and therefore the applicant proposes an
               entry gate house and stairs adjacent to the front property boundary leading to the lower level.

               The entry awning to Ross Crescent is set back approximately 5.3 metres and is approximately 9.6
               metres in length. The minor intrusion into the front set back is located within the middle of the
               frontage and does not impact on the amenity of adjoining premises. The set back of the awning is
               supported.
