Barhon Properties Pty Ltd v Ku Ring Gai Council [2004] NSWLEC 119

The proposed garages and hard paving area do not, of themselves, detract from an attractive residential environment, as they are sufficiently set back, screened by landscaping, and consistent with the streetscape. The proposal provides substantial private open space that receives adequate sunlight, thereby satisfying relevant design principles; accordingly, the development application is approved.
