Granted

Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is recommended for a grant of permission because, subject to modifications by condition—including the reduction of the first-floor extension to 3 metres—it would protect the character of the Z2 residential conservation area and would not seriously injure the residential amenities of neighbouring properties through overshadowing or overbearing impact.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The first-floor extension must be reduced from 5.07 metres to 3 metres to prevent an adverse overbearing impact and excessive loss of daylight to the adjoining property at No. 9 Albany Road.
  • Proposed fenestration, specifically the corner window in Bedroom 3 and the side window in Lizzy's room, requires omission or modification to high-level obscure glazing to prevent direct overlooking of the neighbouring garden and playroom at No. 7.
  • The development is consistent with the Z2 zoning objective for residential conservation areas as the rear extensions are not visible from the public domain and maintain the cohesive character of the Victorian streetscape.
