George v Palerang Council [2010] NSWLEC 1189

George v Palerang Council [2010] NSWLEC 1189

The application was refused because the proposal failed to achieve adequate residential amenity, particularly solar access and orientation of private open space, and was inconsistent with both LEP and DCP objectives. Further, the density and layout did not conform to established local development patterns, and mitigation of driveway impacts would exacerbate inconsistency.
