The plans must be generally in accordance with the plans submitted with the application, but modified to show:

1. The front porch elements reduced to no greater than 3.6 metres height;
2. The provision of a fence extension to the north, east and west boundary fences to screen views from ground floor habitable room windows and alfresco areas and to the fence between the living room windows to 1.7m above finished floor level;

1. The provision of a corner splay or area at least 50% clear of visual obstruction (or with a height of less than 1.2 metres) extending at least 2.0 metres long x 2.5 metres deep (within the property) on both sides of each vehicle crossing to provide a clear view of pedestrians on the footpath of the frontage road.

The development as shown on the endorsed plans must not be altered without the written consent of the Responsible Authority.

All common boundary fences are to be a minimum of 1.8 metres above the finished ground level to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority. The fence heights must be measured above the highest point on the subject or adjoining site, within 3 metres of the fence line.

A landscape plan prepared by a Landscape Architect or a suitably qualified or experienced landscape designer, drawn to scale and dimensioned must be submitted to and approved by the Responsible Authority prior to the commencement of any works. The plan must show the proposed landscape treatment of the site including:-

• the location of all existing trees and other vegetation to be retained on site
• provision of canopy trees with spreading crowns located throughout the site including the major open space areas of the development
• planting to soften the appearance of hard surface areas such as driveways and other paved areas
• a schedule of all proposed trees, shrubs and ground cover, which will include the size of all plants (at planting and at maturity), their location, botanical names and the location of all areas to be covered by grass, lawn, mulch or other surface material
• the location and details of all fencing
• the extent of any cut, fill, embankments or retaining walls associated with the landscape treatment of the site
• details of all proposed hard surface materials including pathways, patio or decked areas.

When approved the plan will be endorsed and will then form part of the permit.

Before the occupation of the buildings allowed by this permit, landscaping works as shown on the endorsed plans must be completed to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority and then maintained to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

The walls on the boundary of adjoining properties shall be cleaned and finished in a manner to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

Before the development starts, a site layout plan drawn to scale and dimensioned must be approved by the Responsible Authority.

The plans must show a drainage scheme providing for the collection of stormwater within the site and for the conveying of the stormwater to the nominated point of discharge.

The nominated point of discharge is the north-west corner of the property where the entire site's stormwater must be collected and free drained via a pipe to the 150mm Council drain in the rear easement via a 900 mm x 600 mm junction pit to be constructed to Council Standards. (A new pit is to be constructed if a pit does not exist or is not a standard Council pit).

If the point of discharge cannot be located then notify Council's Engineering Division immediately.

All on-site stormwater is to be collected from hard surface areas and must not be allowed to flow uncontrolled into adjoining properties. The on-site drainage system must prevent discharge from driveways onto the footpath. Such a system may include either:

• a trench grate (150mm minimum internal width) located within the property; and/or
• shaping the driveway so that water is collected in a grated pit on the property: and/or
• another Council approved equivalent.

Stormwater discharge is to be detained on site to the predevelopment level of peak stormwater discharge. Approval of any detention system is required by the City of Monash, the Responsible Authority, prior to works commencing.

Once the development has started it must be continued and completed to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

The redundant crossing is to be removed and reinstated with kerb and channel to the satisfaction of Council.

The existing crossing must be reconstructed in line with the proposed driveway for Dwelling 1. The crossing will be within 1.50 metres of an adjoining crossing and shall be converted to a double crossing with No. 27 Cambridge Drive.

The Dwelling 2 crossing is within 1.50 metres of an adjoining crossing and shall be converted to a double crossing with No. 31 Cambridge Drive.

The proposed crossings are required to provide clearance to the adjacent nature strip tree in accordance with Council's Horticultural Services recommendation.

No excavation is to occur within 3.5 metres of the Council tree in the nature strip, measured from the trunk face at ground level.
