  1. the proposed building will not significantly impact on the amenity of the secluded private open space(s) on nearby allotments; and
  2. the building is consistent with a building envelope that has been approved under a planning scheme or planning permit and or included in an agreement under section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.
