              removed, in place of new landscaping elements;
        •     The proposed landscaping assists in reducing the visual impact of the development and assists in
              concealing the carparking areas associated with the development, which are integrated into the
              design, such that they do not dominate the streetscape; and,
        •     The development contains sufficient separation and screening to adjoining development to the
