7.     The proposed dwelling design provides a compliant 6 metre rear setback to the adjacent
       environmental reserve which is adequate to ensure no adverse impacts on the coastal reserve.

    As such, the proposed side setback to the northern boundary is considered to be wholly consistent with
    PO9 of the low density residential zone code.

       Roof design
       PO16 Roof designs:

       1. contribute positively to the character of the streetscape;
       2. incorporate eaves and roof overhangs;
       3. avoid boxy elevations on the front facade of the building;
       4. do not present an appearance of excessive bulk to the street or neighbouring properties;
       5. do not create opportunities for residents or building users to overlook the private open space or view
          into habitable windows or doors of neighbouring properties.

    Town planning discussion – a rooftop deck is sought as part of the changed design. Below are extracts
    from the proposal plans showing the extent of the roof deck. Landscape screening in the form of planter
    boxes are proposed to be incorporated along the southern side to ensure privacy is maintained between
    the roof deck and the southern neighbour. An overlooking section has been provided (refer to proposal
    plans included with application) to demonstrate that the proposed rooftop deck does not create
    unreasonable opportunity for overlooking into habitable windows or doors of neighbouring properties.
    The rooftop deck is located at the rear of the dwelling and will not be visible from the street due to the
    topography of the land falling away to the rear.
