planning report 73 southern cross · MCU22/0197

•     While the area between the building and fence is LOS, the main POS is along the southern side of unit
      1 and unit 2 LOS includes a swimming pool directly opposite the swimming of the neighbouring property
      demonstrating that there will not be any loss of amenity.

•     No additional overlooking will occur as:

            o   this elevation is the western elevation and requires protection from afternoon sun by the
                inclusion of screening devices (able to be conditioned);

            o   bedrooms are located on upper level of unit 1 and require privacy;

            o   unit 2 balcony is setback greater than the required 6m;

•     Will not be imposing as the building is well articulated;

•     The development is fully compliant with the applicable AO’s regarding Site cover, Plot ratio, LOS, POS
      as well as providing strategically placed screening devices for privacy and weather protection which
      demonstrates the proposal will not impact on views, access to sunlight or overlook neighbouring or
      nearby properties;

•     The built form exceeds required front setbacks and complies with Site cover and Plot ratio which are
      the key parameters regulating scale and bulk demonstrating the development is not bulky nor of a
      scale that will dominate the rear property;

•     That 4.2m is sufficient separation between land uses; and

•     Dense landscaping is provided the entire length of the rear boundary.

    orientates buildings and            The design includes glazing and inside outside connection
    windows to make the most of         which allows good flow through ventilation.

    west walls;                         and the orientation minimises the effect of the west

    permeable built form that           LOS and swimming pool which creates an inside outside
    connects indoor and outdoor         feel to the living areas, particularly the use of glazing to level
    spaces in an integrated design;     1 enhances the indoor outdoor connection.
    retains existing vegetation and     Although not proposing to retain trees, the design proposes
    natural shading where possible;     large plantings along the frontage of the site to allow for
                                        shading and a vegetated presentation to the street. As
                                        demonstrated by the plans, landscaping to the full perimeter
                                        of the site is proposed.
