In order to maintain privacy between your property and the neighbouring property, it is important to incorporate considered screening treatments and other privacy measures:
Fixed obscure glazing on windows below 1.5m above floor level.
Fixed obscure glazing to all bathrooms and toilets.
1.5m sill heights above floor level.
Fixed external screens.
In the case of screening for a ground floor level, fencing to a height of 1.5m minimum above ground level.
Screening to a minimum of 1.8m in height to the side of balconies is required where there is an adjoining lot.
All privacy proposals must be clearly identified on the plans and elevations submitted to the DRP. Where privacy screens are used, sufficient detail must be provided for the DRP to evaluate its colour, shape and extent.
