General Policy 2
Requires consideration of development control criteria including amenity of local residents, character of locality, parking/access, and highway safety, even where not fully in line with land-use zoning.

Transport Policy 7
Sets parking standards per Appendix 7.6; site's two tandem spaces meet dwelling requirements, no client spaces needed given Highway Services no objection and cul-de-sac nature; late hours acceptable without compromising safety.

Related to retail in centres, similar to SP9; tension noted but approved on precedent.
