"The site contains single dwelling-houses and ancillary structures.

"The surrounding residential development to the west being characterised by primarily medium density housing and an eclectic blend of one and two storey dwelling-houses, ranging from modest, post-war design to dwelling-houses of a contemporary appearance."

The proposal does not comply with setback requirements, having a side setback of one metre instead of the required 3.5 metres.
