Core Planning Reasoning

The proposed development is considered acceptable as it is consistent with the Z1 zoning objective, represents the continuation of an established use, and, subject to a condition reducing the northern boundary wall height, will not seriously injure the residential or visual amenities of the area.

  • The proposed car parking and bicycle parking provisions are appropriate given the site's intermediate urban location, proximity to public transport, and the religious ethos of the congregation which restricts driving on the Sabbath.
