2.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solutions or the performance criteria with respect to clause 11.3.1 A2 and P2 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 in that noise emissions measured at the boundary of the site will cause environmental harm.

3.      The proposal does not meet the acceptable solutions or the performance criteria with respect to clause 11.3.1 A3 and P3 of the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 in that external lighting will adversely affect existing residential amenity.
