Abramovich v Byron Shire Council [2012] NSWLEC 1149

Abramovich v Byron Shire Council [2012] NSWLEC 1149

The development application was refused primarily because the minimum lot size requirements for subdivision were not met, Lots 3 and 4 could not reasonably accommodate dwellings or ancillary buildings due to site constraints, their built form would not be sympathetic to the established character of the area, and the proposal failed to address local planning requirements. The SEPP 1 objection was well founded for Lot 2, but the overall subdivision was unsuitable.

The SEPP 1 objection was well founded for Lot 2, but the overall subdivision was unsuitable.
