This screenwill effectively direct any overlooking from the balcony inwards to the subject site's pool andoutdoor living area, or to the garage <strong>of</strong> the adjoining property to the north, rather than any majorindoor or outdoor living area. Furthermore, it is unlikely that this balcony will be used forentertaining as it is <strong>of</strong>f a bedroom.In relation to the rear verandah and adjacent outdoor living area, any overlooking issue is likelyto be more to the north rather than south, as these structures are closer to the northernboundary and there is a PAW separating the subject site from the properties to the south. Thecone <strong>of</strong> vision to the northern property incorporates a grassed area between a small shed andthe rear fence. This is not considered an active habitable space therefore the overlooking isacceptable.
