Height of buildings
4.3 Height of buildings
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
to ensure the height of buildings is compatible with the character of the locality,
to minimise adverse impacts on local amenity,
to provide an appropriate transition between buildings of different heights.
The height of a building on any land is not to exceed the maximum height shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map.
A building on land identified as “Area 1”, “Area 2” or “Area 3” on the Height of Buildings Map must not contain, or be reasonably capable of being modified to contain, an area forming part of the building’s gross floor area within 3m of the maximum height shown for the land on the Height of Buildings Map.
Subclause (2A) does not apply to development on land identified as “Area 3” on the Height of Buildings Map if the consent authority is satisfied the development achieves the objectives of this clause.
