Figure 7 - extent of encroachment into the north west 1.5m setback and the extent of encroachment to the Berrima Row setback

As demonstrated by Figure 7 above, the relaxation sought is minor in nature and allows for sufficient
soft landscaping between the building and boundary. This permits plantings to secure roots into soil
to maintain good healthy trees and scrubs and dense screening between land uses.

To the northwest, the stairwell and lift continue the same setback to the 2nd storey. This is
considered a minor encroachment that will not impact on the neighbouring properties and is
consistent with the existing development setbacks. Additionally, the elevation is well articulated and
uses a mix of materials.


4.3 Rooftop Terraces
The development proposes rooftop terraces to enhance livability by providing generous open space
and recreation areas. The rooftop terraces are fitted with vertical timber battening to protect visual
and acoustic privacy between house 1, 2 and 3. Screening is also provided to the north-western side
elevation of house 1 to protect privacy between the site and 35 Bottlebrush Avenue. The terraces
do not provide opportunity to overlook onto the private open space areas of adjoining lots. The
terraces are also appropriately setback from the side boundaries which creates an adequate buffer
and separation, consistent with the relevant performance outcomes
