Ryan v Waverley Council [2004] NSWLEC 382

The Court found that, subject to specific amendments and detailed conditions ensuring heritage compatibility and preservation of the pair character of the semis, the amended development proposal for a garage was consistent with planning controls and would not unacceptably affect the streetscape or adjoining amenity. Approval was justified with a deferred commencement for council oversight of amended plans.
