Young v Parramatta City Council [2004] NSWLEC 245

Young v Parramatta City Council [2004] NSWLEC 245

Development consent should be granted because the proposed new rear dwelling does not have adverse impacts on the streetscape or conservation area, complies with SEPP 5 standards, and SEPP 5 prevails over inconsistent local controls. Heritage impact was properly assessed and the location of the subject land at the conservation area's boundary prevents any adverse precedent.
