The proposal complies with Planning Scheme requirements except in relation to the rear setback. The façade
of the building complies with the 6.0 metre setback however an upper level eave extends 0.6 metres into the
rear setback area. The proposed intrusion is considered minor and is considered to comply with the Specific
Outcome as detailed below:

          O5 Buildings and other structures are appropriately designed and sited to—

         a)     provide amenity for users of the premises as well as preserve the visual and acoustic amenity of
               adjoining and nearby properties; - The awning is located on the upper level of the building to the
               rear of the site and presents as an eave of the building. The minor intrusion combined with the
               height and existing vegetation will not impact on the amenity of the surrounding properties.

          b) provide adequate distance from adjoining uses; - The building is well setback from the property to
             the east with the intrusion relating to an upper level awning which contributes to the character of the
             building.

          c) preserve any existing vegetation that will buffer the proposed building; Existing vegetation will not
             be affected by the minor intrusion of the deck.

          d) allow for landscaping to be provided between buildings and street frontages and between
             neighbouring buildings; - the building façade is setback 6.0 metres from the rear boundary and
             permits the retention of existing vegetation on site. The awning intrusion does not impact on
             vegetation on site.
