                Dear Blake,

                Thanks for the information request dated 5 March 2021. In response to the items listed we
                offer the following information and attached are revised plans.

                      1. Driveway cross overs. Linking the driveways together was considered but proved to
                         be too detrimental to the proposed design. Particularly it badly affected the sense of
                         security and privacy of the front yard spaces for the proposed units. Instead of
                         providing a single 6 m wide driveway, what we did was narrow the driveways to just
                         3 m wide each and separate them by the width of one car parking space to ensure
                         that on street parking was not unduly affected by the proposal.

                      2. Roof Pitch. The roof pitches have been increased to 5 degrees and the use of
                         parapets has been removed.

                      3. Ground Levels. The site is located surrounded by allotments that have been filled.
                         The proposal fills the lands to match the levels of surrounding developments.
                         Ground lines showing the ground levels (derived from survey) have been included on
                         the revised plans. A height line showing the 8 m height above that natural ground
                         level has also been included to demonstrate the proposal complies with required
                         heights.

                      4. Landscape. Landscape details have been included in the revised plans.

                      5. Plant Species. Landscape details have been included in the revised plans.

                      6. Fill. The plans have been revised to include details showing the extent of fill and
                         retaining structures where required.

                      7. Stormwater. The site drains to the street. The site does not cause any ponding of
                         overland flows as surrounding lands are also filled to drain to the street.

                      8. Front Fence Setback. The front fence has been recessed back 1 m in accordance with
                         council policy. The front gates remain at the boundary to ensure adequate room for
                         another vehicle to park within the driveway of each unit.
