Clive Lucas, Stapleton & Partners v Campbelltown City Council [2007] NSWLEC 659

The application failed because the Court was not satisfied that noise from vehicles departing after 10pm would only adversely affect the amenity of nearby residences to an insignificant extent, as required by cl 50(e) of the Campbelltown (Urban Area) Local Environmental Plan 2002; consequently, consent could not be given for the development, and no trial consent could be allowed.
