(2) Precinct objectives (a) To maintain a diverse range of smaller-scale business activities that service the local community and Blue Mountains visitors. (b) To maintain the modest scale and single storey appearance along Park and Ross Streets, in particular the varied pattern of individual shop fronts and converted cottages with garden courtyards. (c) To ensure that the height of future development preserves existing public vistas from Glenbrook Park and Park Street towards scenic National Park landscapes. (d) To encourage modest increases in business floor space, consistent with the desired appearance of the business village, the capacity of the surrounding road network and available centre parking. (e) To employ simple architectural forms and details that are either consistent or compatible with early twentieth century weatherboard cottages or post-Second World War strip shopping developments. (f) To provide for co-ordinated design of business signage and shop-fronts according to a village theme. (g) To ensure that on-site car parking does not dominate streetscapes or restrict the potential to provide additional shop frontages. 3 Building envelope (1) Building height (a) On properties that have an existing cottage, new buildings are not to exceed a building height of 6.5 metres or a maximum height at eaves of 4.5 metres.
