Design measures may include, landscaping, setbacks and fencing or walls.
c. There should be a variety in building design including articulation and utilisation of a range of building materials, and the buildings should avoid unrelieved blank walls or facades to all external boundaries of the site.
d. The siting of buildings in sub-precinct 1A, 1B, 3 and 4 should provide sufficient setbacks so that landscaping can be established between the buildings and the external site boundaries.
e. Car parking should be located and configured so that it does not dominate the site when viewed from the road, and is not situated within yard setbacks specified in development controls.

ii. Visually relieve the bulk of the proposed buildings and mitigate large areas of impermeable surfaces including carparking areas.
iii. Help provide summer shade, windbreaks and access to winter sun.
iv. Provide visual privacy between the building and the adjoining properties.
v. Screen other structures and infrastructure, including any above ground water storage tanks are well integrated into the landscape concept for the site.
vi. Retain and incorporate existing mature trees on the land including significant vegetation, especially those near property boundaries.
4. Intensity of use / hours of operation
a. The numbers of people using the site should be satisfactorily accommodated on the site and any adverse effects on the Clevedon sub-precinct 1A and 3 are avoided, remedied or mitigated.
b. The parking required to support the number of people using the site should be contained on site and adverse effects resulting from parking on the street should be avoided.
c. The hours of operation should take into account the effects of noise on surrounding properties from those using or congregating on the site and mitigate adverse effects.
d. The traffic generation (during the day and at night) resulting from the intensity of use of the site should not adversely impact upon residential amenity values.
