Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the design and the external appearance of the proposed new building in terms of its relationship with the context of Adelaide Road and the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed new building on the amenity of the future occupants of the new building with particular reference to the provision of private outdoor garden space
- the effect of the proposed new building on the amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring premises, with particular reference to overlooking, privacy, outlook and light
What decided it
The proposed building would harmfully disrupt the uniform building line and set-back of Adelaide Road and would cause unacceptable overlooking and overbearing impact on neighbouring properties, failing to satisfy the prior approval conditions relating to design, external appearance and neighbouring amenity.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
