(B)      The development complies with the permitted height pursuant to the clause 4.3 of Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012.

(C)      The development will result in additional community infrastructure in accordance with Clause 6.14 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012, as per the submitted public benefit offer and voluntary planning agreement.
