Core Refusal Reason
The proposal for a single-use residential development is materially contrary to the 'NC' zoning objective which requires mixed-use neighbourhood centre facilities.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed amendments would result in a single-use residential development, which is materially contrary to the 'NC' zoning objective to provide for mixed-use neighbourhood centre facilities.
- The reduction of non-residential uses would be detrimental to the amenity and vitality of the area, conflicting with Policy Objectives MFC1 and RET1.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent that could force residents to travel longer distances for essential day-to-day services and amenities.
