Annexure A:
Delete 2.1, 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3

REASONS FOR DECISION:

1. The ECD is a small-scale facility
2. The place of instruction will not impact on the character of the area or the neighbouring properties
3. The driveway provides 3 parking bays for staff. It is satisfactory and the proposal will not have a negative traffic impact
4. Conditions are proposed to mitigate the potential impact of this activity
5. The residential appearance of the property will not be significantly affected
6. There are limited outdoor play times
7. The Provincial Noise Control Regulations are applicable and are used to regulate noise
8. The swimming pool will be enclosed which will significantly limit the noise impact
9. The roads are wide enough to accommodate on-street parking. In this regard it must be noted that as the density of the area is so low and as the subject property is located directly opposite a place of worship with a very long frontage, the amount of on-street parking available is particularly high
10. The setback departures relating to the ECD Centre are for minor structures, such as outdoor play structures, rabbit pen, etc.
11. The departures relating to the pool enclosure are for a single storey building only


12. The proposal is consistent with the Southern District Plan and the Municipal Spatial Development Framework. The deviation from Early Childhood Development Land Use Policy is reasonable in this instance and only relates to there being no residential component. Had the ECD Centre accommodated just 1 child extra, no residential component would be required.
