Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the proposed childcare centre was inconsistent with the character of the area and Residential 2(a) zone objectives.' 'Whether the proposed development would create unacceptable traffic, parking or safety impacts in Cliff Avenue and at the Cliff Avenue and Moxhams Road intersection.' "Whether objectors' concerns, including noise, amenity, hours of operation, waste, access, landscaping, wildlife and lack of 0-2 year old places, warranted refusal." 'Whether any impacts could be adequately addressed by conditions of consent.']

The appeal was upheld because the proposed childcare centre was permissible with consent, was not contrary to the Residential 2(a) zone objectives or character of the area, and the Court accepted the Court-appointed town planner's and traffic engineer's evidence that traffic, parking, amenity, noise and objector concerns did not warrant refusal and could be addressed by conditions of consent.
