Separation Distances and Other Material Considerations
Meeting separation distance requirements for privacy alone is insufficient; proposals must also satisfy other planning considerations including impact on residential amenity and light to existing dwellings.
Note: A proposal which satisfies the separation distances in terms of the impact on privacy will still need to satisfy all other relevant material planning considerations, including the impact on residential amenity and light to existing dwellings, in order to gain permission.
