Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would accord with the provisions of Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, with particular regard to the external appearance of the building, including the design and architectural features of the principal elevation of the dwellinghouse

What decided it

The proposed development would not harm the external appearance of the dwelling or the character of the area due to the varied architectural context, the presence of substantial neighbouring properties, and the visual containment provided by the rail embankment and trees.
