PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    26 MAY 2015


The works are not considered to negatively impact on the amenity function of the canal setback
as they will be extensively landscaped with 83% of the setback area either grass or garden. The
only hardstand area is the existing stairs that provide access from the dwelling to the jetty. The
wall creates a 2 tiered landscaped setting consisting of a garden on the upper level near the
house and a grass area on the lower level near the revetment wall, as shown in Photo 3.




Photo 3 - View from the south showing the 2 tiers.

The works are low level (0.8m) and do not block any views or create any overlooking of
neighbouring properties. Overall, the only relaxation sought is minor protrusions through the 1:4.5
batter line which are considered not to have significant impacts on the amenity function of the
setback area.
