- The proposed design lacks an adequate setback from the front boundary and creates concerns regarding the overlooking of neighboring private amenity spaces to the north-west.
- Further information is required to demonstrate that the proposed sewerage layout will not adversely impact existing connections serving neighboring dwellings.
