O17 On sloping sites, buildings and structures are    a) Have a maximum distance of 3m between the
designed to maximise the use of the natural           ground and the lowest part of the floor of the
topography and minimise the need for cut and fill.    building or the building incorporates undercroft
                                                      skirting or screening (eg. timber battens) to the full

                                                      ground level at the perimeter of the building;
                                                      b) are of split level design that step down the slope
                                                      or have suspended floor construction;
                                                      c) limit the amount of cut or fill to less than 2m in
                                                      depth relative to natural ground level; and
                                                      d) do not result in the spread of fill beyond the
                                                      footprint of the building and associated batters.
