Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is recommended for grant as it aligns with the 'RA' (Residential Area) zoning objective, provides a sustainable residential density of approximately 35 units per hectare suitable for an 'Outer Suburban' location, and is designed to integrate effectively with the existing urban grain without causing significant adverse impacts on the residential amenities of adjacent properties.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
