Nearby developments

24.   To the east of the subject site is a vacant block at 10 Coral Coast Court occupying the top
      of the private road that fronts the subject site.

25.   To the north, at 12 Coral Coast Court, is a very large, high set single storey dwelling that
      occupies the full frontage at the top of the Coral Sea Court cul-de-sac. The south side of
      this dwelling at 12 Carol Coast Court is located across the private road facing the subject
      site. This dwelling is very high set, with extensive high balconies facing down Coral Coast
      Court and a smaller side balcony facing south across the private road to the subject site.
      The base of these balconies is approximately 4 metres above the subject site and over 6
      metres above the roads on each side of the dwelling. The residential parts of this dwelling
      are located behind and above these balconies.

26.   Further north is the dwelling at 13 Coral Coast Court set well back down a private road
      forming a driveway to that property. This is a two storey building with a balcony facing east
      and its side wall and garage facing the driveway leading to Coral Coast Court. None of this
      building nor its site and access is visible from the subject site. The proposed development
      on the subject site will not be visible from 13 Coral Court and the building at 13 Carol
      Court, its outdoor areas and access will not be visible from the proposed development.

27.   Approximately 50 metres to west of the subject site, lower down, on the opposite side of
      Coral Coast Court to the subject site is 11 Coral Coast Court, located approximately 20
      metres RL below the subject site. The access to this property is from the private road
      forming the driveway to 13 Coral Coast Court. The side of this dwelling with small windows
      and no balconies faces Coral Coast Court. This frontage to Coral Coast Court is well
      screened by very large mature gum trees and vegetation from Coral Coast Court looking
      towards the subject site. The access, gardens and frontage to this property are not visible
      from the subject site nor from the proposed development.

28.   Approximately 200 metres down Coral Coast Court, on the opposite side to the subject
      site is 9 Coral Coast Court. This is a two storey detached house set well back from Coral
      Coast Court. Neither the access nor the frontage to this dwelling is visible from the subject
      site.

29.   Immediately adjacent, to west of the subject site, is 4 Coral Coast Court. This is a single
      storey detached dwelling that fronts Coral Coast Court. This dwelling is cut into its site on
      the eastern boundary facing the subject site. An existing high masonry wall that varies
      from 1 metre at the front boundary to over 2.4 metres towards the rear of the property
      establishes the common property boundary to the subject site. There is dense landscaping
      in places between this wall and the side of the house with its two small vertical windows.
      The result of this dwelling being down slope from the subject site and being located in a
      cut behind a high masonry wall means very little below the roof of this property is visible
      from the subject site and neither the side wall, its garden nor its frontage will be visible
      from the proposed development.

Streetscape considerations

30.   There is no typical streetscape, and no dominant streetscape character in Coral Sea
      Court. There are a variety of house styles, all with different setbacks, some with frontages
      and direct access to Coral Sea Court and some without frontage or access from this part
      of Coral Sea Court. Some of these properties have balconies, some without.
