Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is considered acceptable as it constitutes appropriate infill development on a serviced urban site, respects the character of the existing streetscape, and does not adversely impact the residential amenities of neighboring properties or traffic safety.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The principle of the proposed infill development is acceptable given its location within a designated 'Existing Built Up Area' and its compliance with local zoning objectives.
  • The design, which forms a terrace of three houses, adequately manages potential impacts on residential amenity by maintaining sufficient separation distances and mirroring the existing building footprint to avoid overshadowing or significant overlooking.
  • The existing site access and proposed on-site parking for two cars per unit are sufficient to cater to the additional residential density without creating a traffic hazard in the vicinity.
