5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The applicant has applied for Type 3 Home Based Business seeking retrospective approval for
an existing business on the subject site. The proposal largely complies or can be conditioned to
comply with the Noosa Plan, including acoustic and visual factors. The exception to this, is an
exceedance in area associated with the use stipulated in Probable Solution S 54.1 of the
Business Uses Code. The home based business has been operating for 5 years and until
recently it has been operating without complaint. The additional area required for business
operations and associated car parking is not considered to impact on the amenity of the area as
there is sufficient existing vegetation and separation to adjoining dwellings. The proposal is
therefore recommended for approval subject to conditions contained within this report.
