Alnimat Pty Ltd v Sutherland Shire Council [2010] NSWLEC 1038

Alnimat Pty Ltd v Sutherland Shire Council [2010] NSWLEC 1038

The appeal was dismissed because the combination of necessary changes, particularly those related to the streetscape and acoustic impacts at the Warrah Road end, would require a substantial redesign rendering the amended proposal materially different from what was originally submitted. The proposal failed to adequately address the design principles of SEPP Seniors Living and created unacceptable impacts that could not be resolved within the scope of the existing application.
