below shows minor nature of the encroachment.

MINOR ENCROACHMENT INTO HEIGH LIMIT
PLANE OVER BUILDING 02

   
 

8.0m HEIGHT

The proposal complies with PO8 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code for the following

reasons-

e The development is low rise and consistent in height with neighbouring structures being 2
storeys. The 0.2m will not be noticeable from the adjoining property or surrounding
properties being such a minor encroachment.

e Does not impact the streetscape being located to the rear of the development.

e Does not obscure or impede views nor overshadow neighbouring properties as the
encroachment is a small portion of the ridge.

e Does not exceed 2 storeys
Open space

Unit 7 open space is deficient of the Acceptable Outcome requirement by 3m’. Performance
outcome POT1 is applicable and is provided below.

PoTl
Private open space:

(a) _ is provided to all dwellings and is adequate in size, shape and dimensions to suit the needs of
the occupants;

(b) receives adequate sunlight; and
(c) is designed and orientated to ensure privacy is maintained between uses.
The proposal complies with POT for the following reasons-

e the size of the terrace exceeds the minimum requirement width of 2.5m and is sufficient for
outdoor table and chairs;

e while a little smaller than that required by AOT1.2, the terrace overlooks natural green space
