Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed modifications to the previously permitted House No. 3 are considered minor in nature and do not result in significant adverse visual or overbearing impacts on neighboring residential amenities, nor do they increase the overall building height.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The alteration of the roof profile and dormer windows increases the first-floor massing and internal floor area, but maintains the overall ridge height at 5.7 metres.
- The absence of south-facing first-floor fenestration ensures that the privacy of the appellant's property at No. 133 Dublin Road is protected from overlooking.
- The development is consistent with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area and adheres to the underlying residential zoning objective.
