5. CONCLUSION
The development proposal is considered to be consistent with the character of the area with the dwelling
stepping down the site and incorporating modern design elements.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as previously detailed. These grounds include:
                  The proposed dwelling respects the topography of the site by stepping down the
                   steep slope;
                  The dwelling only presents as a one and two storey building to Park Crescent;
                  The proposed dwelling is consistent with the character of the area which includes
                   large dwellings to the south and unit developments to the north and west;
                  The contemporary design utilizes recessed windows and blades to minimize
                   overlooking to adjoining properties;
                  The dwelling has been located to provide good landscape setbacks along the side
                   boundary;
                  The proposed carport location is consistent with the character of the street and
                   provides an area for landscaping to the Park Crescent frontage; and
                  The proposed form of the design is consistent the scale of development that has
                   occurred in the surrounding area.
