Lloyd v Gosford C [2005] NSWLEC 580

Conditional consent was warranted because the proposal complied with the minimum lot area requirements, the irregular lots still had sufficient room for suitable dwellings and landscaping consistent with the surroundings, and the incremental traffic change from the development would have minimal, if any, effect on street traffic, so the identified concerns had been satisfactorily addressed.
