It is noted that whilst there is a porch and outdoor living area on theadjoining southern property, there will be no overlooking directed to these areas from either theverandah or upper floor living.Visual privacy impacts towards the rear/western property from the ground floor verandah, upperfloor balcony and living area are reduced in part to an existing brick rear boundary screen wall.As the topography <strong>of</strong> the subject site slopes downwards towards the rear, this ensures thatpotential overlooking is primarily directed onto the ro<strong>of</strong> area <strong>of</strong> the property to the rear/west andtherefore will have no negative impact upon visual privacy.Overall in view <strong>of</strong> the above comments, and notwithstanding neighbour concerns, it isconsidered that the potential overlooking from the development satisfies the performancecriteria for the following reasons:-• potential overlooking <strong>of</strong> adjoining properties is either towards non-active habitable areasor is minimised though screening.POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:There are no policy or statutory implications related to this report.
