George Munoz & Ors. v Manly Council [2006] NSWLEC 471

The amended proposal generally complied with the Development Control Plan provisions for conservation areas, and although it departed from provision M concerning garaging at the front of buildings, a variation was warranted because the amended design, detailing, rhythm and proportions would not dominate the streetscape and would sit comfortably within the Pittwater Road Conservation Area. Consent should therefore be granted on a deferred commencement basis subject to conditions.
