The proposed development is consistent with the endorsed design competition development and represents design excellence. The development complies with the permissible floor space ratio and building height development standards. The development is of a scale, density, form and land use mix envisaged by the local planning controls, and due to the competitive design process, ensures a superior development outcome in the City Centre. The departure from the building separation standard is minor and has no material impact on the public domain or on the amenity of individual apartments. The flexible application of the standard results in a development which achieves primary objectives specifically relating to the zoning of the land and relating to solar access, outlook, view sharing, ventilation, and privacy. It is considered therefore that the non-compliance with the development standard will not compromise the public interest and that there are sufficient planning grounds warranting support for a variation to the development standard. The encroachments into the required separation distances to the boundaries are not inconsistent with the objectives of the development standard or the objectives of the Mixed Use zone.
