Core Planning Reasoning
The development is consistent with the 'Objective A' residential zoning of the area and, subject to a condition requiring mitigation of potential overlooking from a side dormer window, will not seriously injure the residential amenities of the property in the vicinity or the character of the area.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed development is located on residentially zoned land where extensions and alterations are permitted in principle subject to protecting existing amenities.
- The side dormer window as constructed presents a legitimate concern regarding overlooking due to its cill height of 1.58m, but this can be resolved via a condition requiring the cill to be raised to 1.8m or the glazing replaced with external finishes.
- The other various internal and external alterations to the previously permitted dwelling (Ref. D20A/0394) are considered acceptable and in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
