Turner v Manly C [2005] NSWLEC 50

Turner v Manly C [2005] NSWLEC 50

Assessed against the current planning framework, the proposal was permissible, generally complied with numerical controls, and was not of a height, bulk or scale so different as to be out of character with the streetscape or to adversely affect the significance or setting of the heritage items. The landscaping, carports and amenity impacts, including privacy and sunlight impacts, were acceptable or capable of being addressed by conditions. The refusal should therefore be set aside and development consent granted subject to conditions.
