Agvali Holdings Pty Limited v Leichhardt Council [2002] NSWLEC 211
The Applicant’s SEPP No 1 objection was not substantiated; the proposed development’s floor space ratio significantly exceeded the statutory maximum, was not reflective of the broader locality, and thus compliance with the standard was neither unreasonable nor unnecessary. Development consent could not legally be granted in absence of a successful SEPP No 1 objection.
