Vosoba v Waverley Council [2012] NSWLEC 1116

The proposal was consistent with Waverley Local Environmental Plan 1996, the non-compliance with Waverley Development Control Plan 2010 was relatively minor and acceptable when considered with the Development Assessment Report and McLaren Traffic Engineering report, and the proposed conditions, including wheel stops and relocation of the street tree, addressed the relevant planning and safety issues; development consent should therefore be granted.
