Approval estimate for demolition & new construction applications like this here: about 95% (likely range 65–100%, low reliability, from 0 comparable decisions nearby). No granted application nearby states a height to compare with. Outside the development zone, where approvals are harder. Indicative only. It's based on decisions for similar nearby applications, not on the drawings or the case officer's report; it gets better as documents are added from eapps.
