The officer concluded that the proposal complies with General Policy 2 as it would not adversely affect the character of the property or surrounding area.
General Policy 2
General Policy 2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning provided it respects site and surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design; does not adversely affect character of surrounding townscape or amenity of residents; and has no unacceptable effect on road safety. The officer tested the balcony enclosure against these criteria, finding it acceptable as the glazing replicates existing enclosures in the block and nearby, with no harm to character or amenities. No tensions noted as the modern apartment block context allows such features without uniformity.
