Core Refusal Reason
The proposal constitutes overdevelopment of the site due to its substandard internal floor area and its overbearing physical impact on the existing residential amenity.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The dwelling's narrow, elongated design and excessive length along the boundary would create a visually obtrusive and overbearing impact on the existing residence at No. 19.
- The proposed internal floor area of 38sq.m fails to meet the minimum mandatory requirement of 50sq.m for a one-bedroom house as specified in the County Development Plan.
- The development represents an overdevelopment of the site that would negatively affect residential amenity and contravene the area's zoning objectives.
