Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is in accordance with the 'Established Residential' zoning objective, represents appropriate infill development on a serviced urban site, and would not seriously injure the visual or residential amenities of the area or endanger public safety by reason of a traffic hazard.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal is consistent with both the operative County Development Plan and national policy regarding the densification of appropriate urban infill sites.
- Impacts on residential amenity, specifically privacy and overlooking, are considered reasonable and typical for an established urban area, with no windows proposed for gable elevations.
- The development will not generate significant traffic volumes and the proposed in-curtilage parking reflects the existing pattern of development in the vicinity.
