Core Planning Reasoning

The Inspector recommended a grant of permission (and retention) as the proposed infill development on a corner site is compatible with the Z1 zoning objective, respects the character and building line of the existing streetscape, and provides adequate residential standards without adversely impacting the amenities of neighboring properties.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The development, as modified by Further Information and recommended conditions, will not give rise to significant negative impacts regarding overlooking, overshadowing, or traffic safety.
