General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site/surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, amenities, road safety, or habitats; and provides satisfactory standards including parking. The officer tested the proposal against these criteria, finding the rebuilding's design, scale, and position acceptable in the street scene and non-harmful to neighbour No. 48 due to matching existing dimensions and boundary treatments; decking raised no concerns. Compliance was confirmed with no adverse effects noted.
Residential Design Guide 2021
The guide provides standards for residential development design. The officer referenced it alongside GP2 for assessing street scene impact and neighbour amenity, concluding the proposal's form was acceptable and in keeping with the property.
