 the upper rear balconies in order to address
 Council’s concerns regarding overlooking of
 adjoining low density residential dwellings in
 Oak Street. As a majority of outdoor living areas
 (i.e. 2 of the remaining 3 per unit) that face
 directly into habitable areas of Oak Street

 conflict with Acceptable Outcome AO6.3.


CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to use a Duplex, situated within the Medium Density Residential Zone, for the
purpose of short-term accommodation. The planning scheme seeks to prioritise the preservation of
medium density residential neighbourhoods for predominantly permanent residential dwellings and
seeks to protect the amenity of surrounding residential areas from the impacts of short-term
accommodation. Whilst acknowledging that short-term accommodation has been identified as a
consistent use in the area, it is not intended to erode the supply of permanent housing, and there is
a significant amount of visitor accommodation currently offered or approved for visitor
accommodation in the Coastal Community Local Plan area. Further, the applicant has not
demonstrated a need for additional visitor accommodation in the area and is likely to further erode
the residential amenity for permanent residents. Accordingly, the application is recommended for
refusal.
