4.2.2
Council may require that before a permit may be issued, the applicant shall
submit a report prepared by a professional competent to assess the suitability
of the site for a development described in clause (1), and which in the

caliper of 30 mm in diameter at chest height
or minimum #5 pot size for deciduous trees
or 1000 mm height or minimum #4 pot size
for coniferous trees;

appropriate to soften the visual impact of buildings
or structures, screen facilities such as outdoor
storage areas, buffer or separate different uses, and
integrate the landscape along waterways into the
adjacent neighbourhoods.
(ix)
Other jurisdictional approvals are the responsibility
of the applicant.
(c)
Drainage and Slope Stability
(i)
A proposed development shall not result in adverse
