The proposal is consistent with the prevailing streetscape character in the locality; compliance with the development standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of this case for the following reasons:- • the objectives of the development standard are achieved notwithstanding non-compliance • The objective would be defeated or thwarted if strict compliance was required There are environmental planning grounds which justify the building separation departure.
