Core Refusal Reason
The proposed vehicular entrance width of 7.9 metres significantly exceeds the 3.6-metre maximum standard set by the City Development Plan, resulting in the loss of on-street parking and injury to local amenities.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed 7.9-metre entrance width is more than double the 3.6-metre maximum permitted under the City Development Plan.
- The removal of the entire front boundary and the potential loss of on-street parking would cause serious injury to the amenities of the area.
- Granting permission would create an undesirable precedent for similar unacceptable developments, contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
