1. This proposal exceeds the maximum height prescribed. It will also block light to nearby properties. Privacy of nearby residence is also of concern. Street character is also of concern

2. This development and the breach of the height restriction should not be approved and the lot reserved for 1 or 2 storey residential development:
   1. Claiming the breach of height restriction is required due to the sloping site is not a justification for the breach. The developer should design within the restrictions of the North Kellyville DCP, zoning, height restrictions and the plot. If this is not possible, the development should be located to a more appropriate plot.
   2. As the plot is significantly higher than the surrounding residential properties on Windon Ave, Oxlade St and Serene Pl, the increase in height will be exacerbated further and will result in several houses being overlooked from the units. This site breaches the DCP requirement that three storey developments are "not
   likely to impact adversely on the existing or future amenity of any adjoining land on which residential development is permitted, having regard to overshadowing, visual impact and any impact on privacy;"
   3. The plot is/will be surrounded on all sides by low-rise 1 to 2 storey residential housing and therefore is out of place with the streetscape.
   4. The North Kellyville DCP states that residential flat buildings should be located around the Neighbourhood Centres. This plot is not adjancent to these centres and has low rise residential buildings between it and the neighbourhood centres. It is therefore out of place with the vision and character as set out by the DCP. As there are still avaiable plots near these centres, this development should be relocated to a more suitable plot.
