    I note that plans and the full application has not yet been published for this proposed development, as these seem not yet to be available for review via the council's portal.
    The property sits within the planning zone GRZ3 (Residential Incremental Change only). All properties in Parnell Street currently are single storey. Where two dwellings have been built on blocks in the GRZ3 area in this locality, the neighbourhood character has been to build the rear property on the block single storey. There are many such examples nearby. Double storey back to back townhouse developments are more suited to GRZ2 and west of Wilson Street, there are plenty of examples of the change in character to this type of dwelling. Where 2 storey development has been permitted on larger blocks in GRZ3, this has so far extended only to large single family homes. These incorporate appropriately sized set backs at front and rear, and landscaping requirements. Extreme care therefore needs to be taken to ensure this particular application, which differs from that previously permitted in this area, is assessed properly in reference to neighbouring properties, other nearby developments, and be reflective of existing neighbourhood character of the GRZ3 ; large single family homes or 2 homes on a block with the rear home being single storey or if a single double storey home, appropriately set back. it must also fully comply with the new landscaping requirements, visual amenity and privacy and prevention of overlooking of neighbouring properties. I look forward to receiving further details when available for consideration.
