Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is on appropriately zoned urban land (Objective A), complies with the County Development Plan standards for corner/side garden sites, and respects the residential and visual amenities of the area without compromising traffic or pedestrian safety.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development is acceptable in principle under the 'A' zoning objective and aligns with national policies to increase residential density in established settlements through infill schemes.

- A reduction in car parking from the recommended two spaces to one is justified given the infill nature of the site, the site's proximity to public transport, and the efficient use of a corner garden.
