ground level and centrally locate the lift shaft. The design allows for increased setbacks to
the side boundary of the site and for the rooftop terrace to have increased setbacks from
the outer edge of the slab below. This change improves privacy and reduces the potential
for direct views into adjoining lots from the rooftop. The use of solid balustrades along
the majority of the side boundary further improves the privacy for both residents using
the rooftop terrace but also for adjoining users.

The plans have been updated to include overlooking plans which provide an analysis of
the resulting views from the proposed rooftops. The plans and images included clearly
outline that the provision of the rooftop terraces do no impact on the privacy or amenity
for dwellings located to the rear. The images taken from the approximate height of the
rooftop terraces demonstrate that views are directed over the rooftops and towards the
coast. The increased setback of the terrace from the rear elevation provides additional
privacy by preventing views down to the rear. As noted in the section plans of the
overlooking diagrams the visibility to neighbouring properties is minimal due to dense
vegetation located on the adjoining lot.
