1.       The proposed street setback to Milton Street does not meet the Design Principles of Clause 5.1.2 of State Planning Policy No. 3.1 Residential Design Codes or the Local Housing Objectives of Clause 5.2 of Local Planning Policy No. 7.1.1 – Built Form as the setback does not accommodate additional space for landscaping to reduce the impact of the development on Milton Street or the adjacent dwellings.

2.       The proposed lot boundary setbacks do not meet the Design Principles of Clause 5.1.3 of State Planning Policy No. 3.1 Residential Design Codes as the building mass and form has not been designed to reduce the impact of building bulk on the adjoining properties.

3.       The proposed outdoor living area for Unit B does not meet the Design Principles of Clause 5.1.3 of State Planning Policy No. 3.1 Residential Design Codes as it involves excessive permanent roof cover which restricts access to direct sunlight and is located in a manner that reduces the privacy of the occupants.

4.       The cumulative impact of the variations represent overdevelopment of the site and results in an unacceptable built form outcome.
