a.    The deletion of the reliance upon side boundary lightwells as the only outlook for the primary habitable spaces of units; 4, 5,7 8, 13, 14, 16 and 17.

 

b.    The floor to floor height of levels; 2, 3 and 4 are to be increased to 3.1 metres to enable achievement of a 2.7 floor to ceiling height with a separate plasterboard ceiling. Accordingly, the Clause 4.6 written request will require amendment.

 

c.    Units; 25 and 28 are to be redesigned to remove the snorkle windows to bed 3.

 

d.    Units 22 and 23 are to have their balconies reoriented to overlook the rear boundary rather than the side boundary.

 

e.    The redesign of the internal layout to minimise the number of bedrooms sharing a common wall with the living areas of adjoining units. In the event that a redesign of any particular unit is not practicable then the applicant is to submit a construction methodology statement demonstrating how noise transfers from living area to bedroom is to be controlled.
