Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The modification of the site boundary to 0.117ha is acceptable in an urban area and provides sufficient private open space for the dwelling.

  • The minor deviations in basement glazing and elevation treatment do not significantly affect visual amenity and are considered acceptable as constructed.
