Charalambous v Ku-ring-gai Council [2007] NSWLEC 427

Charalambous v Ku-ring-gai Council [2007] NSWLEC 427

The Court was satisfied that the amended dual occupancy development generally complied with the applicable planning controls, including SEPP 53, the council planning regime and the dual occupancy code; would not be an overdevelopment of the site; would not create unreasonable visual bulk, streetscape, traffic, privacy, solar access, overshadowing or amenity impacts; and should therefore be approved by consent orders once an amended landscape plan was received.
