                               Figure 13 – 8 metre height blanket showing isolated extents of height exceedance.



               The exceedance is a product of existing site levels, which include localised depressions and
               variations in ground level that will be filled and regularised as part of the approved works. The
               height calculation is derived from existing natural ground levels rather than the finished ground
               level condition, with the marginal fill proposed in these sections, the extent of height exceedance
               when measuring the finished ground level to the highest point would be minimised.
               Further, the areas of exceedance exclusively relate to the roofing of the proposal, where in the
               case of the Southern Building has been designed to incorporate a larger roof form and pitch to
               better respond to the existing built form character of Maple Street. The exceedance is considered
               marginal in consideration of the existing contours of the land and the challenges associated with
               delivering small dwelling units in the proposed format, that involves a staggered, multi-level
               development with a number of two-storey buildings that cascade ‘down’ the site with the contours
               of the land.
               The upper level built form has been designed to so that there is a sense of individuality to each
               ‘set’ of dwellings, demonstrated in Figure 15 below that shows the marginal extent of height
               exceedance occurs at the highest extent of the roof pitch of each individual roof, rather than a
               continuous span of roof or form. For these reasons, its considered that the proposed height
               exceedance is a reasonable outcome.

               Front and Side Setbacks
               The existing dwelling to be retained is setback 3.5 metres from Maple Street. Considering this is
               existing dwelling that contributes to the heritage character of Maple Street there are no concerns
