Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development would result in a cramped and uncharacteristic pattern of development within the Burnaby Architectural Conservation Area (ACA), detracting from its established sylvan character and violating Policy HER12.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed infill development would result in a cramped and uncharacteristic pattern of development that does not reflect the traditional sylvan and spacious garden suburb character of the Burnaby Architectural Conservation Area.
- The development would unduly impact the amenities, character, and setting of Farm Lane, degrading the historical and architectural interest of the area.
- The proposal is contrary to the provisions of the Local Area Plan, specifically Land Use Zoning Objective R10 and Policy HER12, which aim to protect and enhance the special character of ACAs.
