Taleb v Fairfield City Council [2018] NSWLEC 1091

Taleb v Fairfield City Council [2018] NSWLEC 1091

The proposal complies with the requirements of cl 4.1C(3) of LEP 2013 relating to minimum lot size and attached dwellings, which achieves the relevant planning objectives. The proposal is consistent with the character established by recent development in the locality and with the desired future character as governed by the planning instrument. The criticisms about lot width and driveway crossovers do not outweigh compliance with the planning framework.
