(Section 79C(a)(iii) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979).
4. The development does not comply with the landscaping requirements of DCP 2012 Part C Section 3 – Landscaping. The proposed setback will not be able to sustain dense landscaping to screen and mitigate visual and acoustic privacy impacts of the development which will result in unreasonable amenity impacts on adjoining properties.
