Procedural Posture

Appeal / Final Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the proposed development should be approved under s 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979' "Whether the proposal's bulk, scale, amenity, and impact on heritage and adjoining properties are acceptable" 'Compliance with planning controls including FSR, design codes, and heritage considerations']

Ratio Decidendi

The amended proposal complies with the applicable floor space ratio, planning controls, and provides acceptable amenity and heritage impact. The development is consistent with the scale anticipated for the zone.

Accordingly, refusal is not warranted based on bulk, amenity, heritage, or impact on the Fig tree.
