Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of Sentences 3.2.1.1.(3) and (4), which would otherwise exclude mezzanines from the calculation of building height, and require that under certain conditions [where one or more levels of mezzanine is partially or wholly superimposed above another mezzanine in the storey] each level additional to the first level be considered as a storey in calculating the building height.
