Core Planning Reasoning
The development is considered consistent with the 'A' zoning objective to protect and improve residential amenity; its scale, height, and location do not adversely affect the visual or residential amenities of the area, and it remains ancillary to the primary dwelling.

- Concerns regarding independent residential or commercial use were not supported by evidence and can be effectively mitigated through planning conditions and enforcement if necessary.
