Excerpt from Planning Application:
‘The proposed dwelling is 679.5sqm in size (or 539.3sqm if excluding the garage), representing an almost exactly 100% increase over Belmont.

The proposed dwelling would have a noticeably smaller footprint than Belmont, and would also be set a further 4.6m from the highway than Belmont - totalling some 19m from the highway.

This enables the proposed dwelling to have a ridgeline at approximately the same height as the existing dwelling, though obviously set back further from the road and therefore potentially having a greater prominent within the streetscene of 543 sq metres (5845 sq ft)'
