                                                   subject site and adjoining premises, including
                                                   provision of visual and acoustic privacy.
 b) not unreasonably obstruct views or             The proposed garden room will be heavily buffered
    cause overlooking of private open space        by existing mature and dense screening vegetation
    or habitable areas of adjoining premises;      and will be located in an area of the site that will not
                                                   result in any obstruction of views or overlooking of
                                                   private open space or habitable areas of adjoining
                                                   premises.
                                                   The building on the adjoining premises is orientated
                                                   away from the location of the proposed garden
                                                   room and there are no private open space or
                                                   habitable areas that will be visible from the
                                                   proposed garden room.
                                                   As such, it is considered that the proposed garden
                                                   room will not unreasonably obstruct views or cause
                                                   overlooking of private open space or habitable
                                                   areas of adjoining premises.
 c) provide adequate distance from adjoining       The proposed garden room will have a building
    land uses;                                     separation to the adjoining building of
                                                   approximately 4m.
                                                   It is noted that the proposed garden room will have
                                                   a building height of less than 4.5m and, therefore, a
                                                   fully compliant side boundary setback would be
                                                   1.5m. It is noted that a fully compliant side
                                                   boundary setback on both lots would result in a
                                                   building separation of 3m (1.5m setback on each
                                                   lot).
                                                   As such, the proposed development provides a
                                                   building separation that substantially exceeds the
                                                   minimum building separation as sought by the Code
                                                   and, therefore, is considered to be more than
                                                   adequate.
                                                   Additionally, it is noted that the proposed
                                                   development is for the enclosure of the existing
                                                   terrace area, and does not reduce the existing
                                                   separation between the existing terrace area and
                                                   the adjoining premises.
                                                   The proposed building separation is depicted in
                                                   Figure 2 below.
 d) preserve existing vegetation that will help    The proposed garden room will enclose an existing
    buffer development;                            terrace area and will not result in any removal of the
                                                   existing mature and dense screening vegetation
                                                   that will buffer the development.
                                                   The proposed development preserves existing
                                                   vegetation that will help buffer development.
