Issue

The design of this development seeks to utilise one of the highest points of the site as the
lower floor level. As a consequence the development is surrounded by a structure / platform
which is, for the most part, at least one (1) metre above the natural ground level. Structures
which protrude more than one (1) metre above the natural ground level must also be included
in the calculation of site cover.

Specific Outcome O7 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code prescribes a maximum allowable
site cover is 40%, as the site is 635m? the maximum site coverage allowed is 254m?. The
application proposes a site cover of approximately 400m? and is not supported.

The elevated platform surrounding the building and the boundary to boundary form of the
development also raise concerns with regards to the bulk of the development and the impact

on the amenity of adjoining properties.
