The site is generally bound: to the north by somerton rise and somerton row; to the east by somerton row, somerton drive and somerton view; to the south by the l1030; and to the west by the paddocks way.

This application is being made in accordance with the adamstown planning scheme 2014 (as amended) and relates to development within the 'airlie stud' and 'somerton' development areas of the adamstown strategic development zone. The amendments principally propose the omission of 40 no. Apartment and duplex units (3 no. 1-bed, 16 no. 2-bed and 21 no. 3-bed) and the provision of 39 no.

Duplex units in buildings of 3 no. Storeys (15 no. 1-bed, 3 no. 2-bed and 18 no. 3-bed). The total number of units in the amended and extended reg. Ref. Sdz19a/0004 permission will decrease by 1 no.
