Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development was refused due to excessive bulk, massing, and poor design integration, which would negatively impact the architectural character of the existing dwelling and the surrounding streetscape.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The two-storey front extension's excessive bulk and positioning would disrupt the architectural character of the existing dwelling and the established rhythm of the Annaville Park streetscape.
- The side extension's placement directly on the site boundary adjoining the public realm would create an overbearing form of development inconsistent with the prevailing local pattern.
- The overall scale and massing would set an undesirable precedent for visually dominant extensions, contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
