What’s proposed
The development will consist of the construction of a new Restaurant Building, a single-story structure with auxiliary attached structures at a lower level. The floor area of building space including the primary structure and two auxiliary structures equals 1310m2. The structure incorporates a flat roof at a height of 5.5m and an at-grad plaza entrance, flanked by landscape and a new children's play area. The building will be fitted with local featured photovoltaic panels. The exterior of the building will feature both elevated and on-grade dining terraces. The development requires the removal of a number of selected trees which will be replaced with numerous new trees and shrubs. Associated drainage and ancillary works are also included

Zoning
Zone Z9 - DEV PLAN 2022-2028
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.
