Levy v Waverley Municipal Council [2008] NSWLEC 1101

Levy v Waverley Municipal Council [2008] NSWLEC 1101

Despite improvements from the original proposal, the revised parking scheme involves significant non-compliances with the DCP, including insufficient space dimensions, demolition in breach of DCP restrictions, and noncompliance with parking behind the building line. There are no compelling reasons to grant approval contrary to these provisions; thus, consent is refused and the appeal dismissed.
