The officer assessed the proposal against General Policy 2 criteria for residential areas, finding it compliant as it respects the site and surroundings in terms of siting, scale, and layout.
General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in residential zones that respects site/surroundings (siting, layout, scale, design, landscaping), does not harm landscape/townscape character, protects resident amenity and locality character, provides safe/convenient highway access and adequate parking, and avoids adverse road safety/traffic impacts. The officer tested the parking area's visual impact (mitigated by hedging), amenity/character fit (matches neighbours), highway access (dropped kerb required), and parking need (justified by street congestion), finding full compliance with no tensions noted.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
Approved plans
This permission relates to the creation of off-road parking as shown and described in the plans and information received on 6th September, 2012.
Dropped kerb provision
The works must include the provision of a dropped kerb across the full width of the access into the parking space. This must be undertaken within three months of the date of this notice as it becomes final. NOTE: The applicant should contact the Operations Section of the Department of Infrastructure in this respect.
Do not oppose subject to condition requiring contact regarding highway works including dropped kerbs
