Refusal reasons

Other

Consolidation of unauthorised development due to unpermitted subdivision of the dwelling and reconstruction/repositioning of the access entrance and laneway.

Proper planning and sustainable development
The proposed development would represent consolidation of unauthorised development. The provision of such a form of development unduly impacts on the amenities of the area, public health, and the amenities of adjoining properties and undermines the planning regulations.
Density

Overdevelopment of the site resulting in three units on a 0.15ha plot, out of character with prevailing development patterns. Poor layout fails to demarcate private open space, diminishing amenity and contravening zoning.
