4   DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL FOR BUILDING
    WORKS ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO A DETACHED HOUSE PBA14/0011
    SITUATED AT 46 NAIRANA REST, NOOSA HEADS
    That Council note the report by the Planning Technical Officer to the Planning &
    Organisation Committee Meeting dated 22 July 2014 regarding Application No.
    PBA14/0011 a Preliminary Approval for Building Works Assessable against the Planning
    Scheme for alterations and additions to a detached house and refuse the application on the
    following grounds:
    1.    The proposed building does not present as low rise and is of a height that is not
          consistent with the predominant height of surrounding buildings in the area.
    2.    The proposed building height and reduced side setback is likely to adversely impact
          on the amenity of the adjoining property and be imposing and dominate this property.
    3.    The proposed building height is not warranted by the site’s topography having a
          relatively moderate slope nor does the proposal step down the slope.
    4.    The proposed development is contrary to the Building Works Code and The Noosa
          Plan and there are insufficient grounds to justify the conflict.
