The proposed addition of twosilos to the existing concrete batching plant is satisfactory in respect to theHDCP industrial land prescriptive measures for scale, setbacks,landscaping and vehicle access and parking. The silos would be setback morethan 30 metres from Sefton Road and would comply with the setback requirementsfrom all other boundaries.

The proposed building is consistent in scale with the existing twoand three storey industrial building adjoining the eastern boundary of thesite. The proposed site coverage of51% is in non-compliance with the maximum 50% site coverage. The non-complianceis minor, would not contribute to the overall bulk and scale of the buildingand is acceptable in providing for landscaping. As detailed in the above table,the proposed development does not comply with a number of prescriptiverequirements within the HDCP.

Any improved efficiency in the plant operationwould be consistent with the existing operation as the number of agitatortrucks remains the same. Subject to recommendedcondition the proposal would meet the desired outcome of the HDCP forstormwater management. Subject to recommended  conditions the proposal issatisfactory in respect to SREP 20.
