The placement of the building can impact on so many issues, that inevitably a trade-off will need to be made. So what issues should be considered and how can they be prioritised?
Early investigations and analysis of the site and its surrounding neighbourhood should reveal any significant issues, and help inform the choice of building type and apartment types.
This section provides guidance on how to locate the building to respond positively to these existing site conditions and the surrounding environment, to maximize the views, sun and privacy for the occupants while respecting neighbours’ rights to the same. Details of the individual sections are noted below.
