Refusal reasons

Design

The proposed dwelling's height, scale, design, and proximity to Whitshed Road are out of character with the established pattern of development in the Burnaby ACA. It would unduly impact the amenities, character, and setting of Nullamore (NIAH listed) and set an inappropriate precedent for similar development within the ACA.

Greystones/Delgany and Kilcoole Local Area Plan 2013-2019 (ACA Policies HER12 & Appendix B)
haphazard and incongruous form of development on Whitshed Road which is uncharacteristic of the established form and pattern of development in the Burnaby Architectural Conservation Area
Density

The proposed 246sqm development on a 0.144ha site equates to 13.6 units/ha, exceeding the permitted maximum density of 10 units/ha (1,250sqm/ha). The applicant's argument to exclude the lower ground floor from density calculations was rejected.

Greystones/Delgany and Kilcoole Local Area Plan 2013-2019 (Zoning Objective R10)
This equates to a density of 13.6units / ha which exceeds the permitted density on site.
