The allocation of maximum building heights by city location as graphically illustrated is far too broad and will result in inappropriate massing and overshadowing. How can 6 or 7 storey buildings be considered acceptable in Shandon, Wellington Road or St Lukes for example. As it is the buildings on Horgans Quay are destroying the view to and from the northern ridges. Density can be achieved with more modest heights. There will be a conflict between building height standards and other objectives such as architectural heritage, landscape views, placemaking and neighbourhoods. Rather than a blanket colour code, specific locations should be identified and perhaps a 3 dimensional model established.
