General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with zoning and other policies if it respects site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect character, amenities, or road safety; and meets other criteria like access and services. The officer assessed the minor door alterations against GP2(b) and found they sit neatly with the existing property, have no adverse amenity impacts, and comply overall. No tensions noted as the changes are minimal and internal works do not affect externals significantly.
Residential Design Guide 2021
The Residential Design Guide requires extensions and alterations to respect the site in terms of siting, layout, scale, form, and design per GP2(b). The officer found the proposals appropriate and compliant, as the minor door works integrate neatly without harming visual appearance.
Time limit
