According to the planners at Tam Dang Planning, “the proposed 6 storey building is consistent with the maximum height identified for the relevant precinct under the neighbourhood plan. Accordingly, the proposed built form is envisaged and tailored to its location. The built form has been achieved through the amalgamation of two lots and responds to the unique nature of the subject site. The proposal has been designed to provide a high quality built form addressing the parkland to the south and responds to site constraints i.e. overland flow path and topography. The subject site is surrounded by Medium Density Residential zoning and as such, it is envisaged the majority of adjoining properties will be redeveloped in the future..”
