PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        9 APRIL 2019


    Development facilitates the creation of vibrant and safe business centres, with attractive
      and functional buildings and streets with integrated high amenity public spaces
Performance outcomes also include specific requirements relating to building design and
streetscape including:
     Frontages to public streets or other public or semi-public spaces are articulated with
       vertical elements to emphasise a finer-grain and human scale to the building frontage;
     Variations in the treatment and patterning of windows, sun protection and shading devices,
       or other elements of a façade treatment at a finer scale than the overall building structure
5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The applicant’s request to amend the approved plans to enable removal of screens that were
required to provide articulation to the façade of the building is not supported. The screens were
considered by architectural consultants to be an important component of the overall fabric of the
building and were required to assist in reducing the overall scale and bulk of the development.
Due to the existing driveway access, there is limited opportunity for landscaping to screen the
area and the screens are required to provide additional articulation and detail to this area. The
request to change the appearance of the louvres however is supported and considered to be
Generally in Accordance with the approved plans.
