Core Planning Reasoning

The development is considered acceptable and in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area, provided that the mezzanine level is omitted and the roof height is reduced to mitigate visual and residential amenity impacts on neighboring properties.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The existing partially built structure is visually prominent and overbearing; however, modifications including the removal of the mezzanine and a reduction in ridge height to 3.8m will appropriately ameliorate these impacts.

  • Subject to conditions regarding height, finish, and the exclusion of the mezzanine, the development will not cause significant overshadowing or overbearing impacts on adjoining properties.
