"The proposed development is far in excess of the 20-30 storey provision in the SOPA Masterplan 2030. The proposed variation to GFA is not adequately supported by the generic statement provided," Meriton said in a submission. The variation was considered reasonable and did not "result in an overall increase in building bulk", planning documents showed. "The height, bulk and scale of the proposed development is appropriate and would not result in any unreasonable visual or amenity impacts to adjoining residential properties," documents said. The changes led to the reduction of typical floor to floor heights from 3.2 to 3.1 metres.
