The proposal is to establish a duplex building and retain the existing house at this rear section located at the southern side of Tawa Street. The section is served by a 6m wide ROW of 60m long providing access to four lots.

Each unit will be provided with sufficient and functional outdoor living areas and adequate service areas to meet the needs of the future occupants.

This duplex proposal has a good design features include access to sunlight, outdoor living space, outdoor service area, privacy and off-road parking. Incorporation of these features ensures functional and high-quality living environments for the occupants.

The development would retain a ‘reasonable’ standard of amenity for adjoining sites insofar as ‘reasonable’ amenity is reflected by the level of residential development and conditions anticipated in the zone.
