Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended the removal of Condition 4(a), concluding that the first-floor element of the replacement house is of a limited scale and high-quality design that, given the undulating topography and established pattern of development, would not significantly injure the visual or landscape amenities of the coastal area.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The first-floor element accounts for only approximately 17% of the total floor area and its centrally located contemporary design is deemed to be of high quality and appropriate for the site.
  • While the site is in a sensitive coastal area, photomontages demonstrate that the proposed ridge level is lower than other existing two-storey dwellings in the vicinity due to the site's lower elevation within the undulating landscape.
  • Condition 4(a) requiring the omission of the first floor is unwarranted, but conditions regarding neutral external finishes and the retention of existing boundary screening (Condition 11) should be maintained to ensure proper integration.
