M2677 - Response to further issues_08042021

Following discussions with Council, a site inspection was undertaken to identify any adjoining premises that could
potentially be affected by overlooking as a result of the development. It was identified that 53 Regatta Cct (see Figure 7
below could potentially be affected by the development.




          Figure 7 – 35 Regatta Cct viewed from the subject site

As can be seen in the photograph in Figure 7 the upper storey windows at 35 Regatta Cct includes two high level small
windows and a stair case window. Based on our site inspection, it was considered that there were limited opportunities to
overlook the dwelling and its private open space areas.

Blackburne Jackson architects have prepared plans, as part of the revised drawing set (also refer to Figure 9), which
illustrate the setbacks between the proposed balconies and the dwellings. Note, the proposed second storey balconies
are well setback from the adjoining premises windows, with approximate distances being 12m and 15m respectively for
apartments 27 & 28.

Notwithstanding the significant setbacks, the architectural plans have been amended to include vertical screening blades
to the balconies and horizontal screening to the bedroom windows to avoid any potential opportunities to overlook. This
screening is also well articulated when viewed in combination with the east elevations (refer to Figure 10 below).

In addition to the above, it should be noted that landscape plantings will be introduced along the boundary to further
screen any potential overlooking issues.
