Soans v Baulkham Hills Shire Council [2006] NSWLEC 165

It was therefore not visually integrated with surrounding development, was inconsistent with Residential 2(b) zone objectives (d)(i) and (ii), and consent could not be granted under cl 13(2)(a) and cl 13(2)(b) of Baulkham Hills Local Environmental Plan 2005.
