Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended a grant of permission as the development is consistent with the Z2 Residential Conservation Area zoning and Policy QHSN6 (Urban Consolidation). It was concluded that the proposal would not seriously injure the residential or visual amenities of the area, nor depreciate property values, and constitutes a sympathetic infill development in an established urban setting.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The principle of the development is acceptable as it promotes residential consolidation through infill development on an underutilised site within a Z2 zoned area.

  • The proposal will not result in undue impacts on neighbouring residential amenities regarding overlooking, overshadowing, or loss of privacy, and provides adequate private open space for both the proposed and existing dwellings.
