When a development is close to other developments, a planner will often apply a stepping-up or stepping-down principle to try to match adjoining building heights or to ensure that there is consistency. I am hearing two different perspectives. Is there anything in what is proposed in the Bill that would prevent a planner from making a decision when it comes to stepping up or stepping down?
