⚖️ What tends to weigh in cases like this
✅ Tends to be accepted
- The proposed development type, a higher density of multiple dwellings, was appropriate for the zone and its anticipated floor space ratio.
- The proposed development's form was acceptable for the streetscape, considering the diverse existing buildings and the site's constrained nature.
- The proposal's non-compliance with the side setback requirement was acceptable as its essence met the relevant provision allowing nil setbacks in certain circumstances.
- The carport structure would not negatively affect the streetscape, supported by the presence of a similar structure on an adjoining property.
- The loss of two on-street parking spaces was not significant enough to deny the applicant off-street parking, as most properties already have access crossovers.
❌ Tends to be rejected
- The site's narrowness and orientation were not accepted as reasons for non-compliance with reasonable solar access and privacy requirements.
