Kangaloon Road Holdings Pty Ltd v Wingecarribee Shire Council [2024] NSWLEC 1133

The proposed dual occupancy and subdivision would have an unacceptable impact on the established settlement pattern and density of the Bowral Heritage Conservation Area, adversely affecting its streetscape and mature landscape setting, including unjustified removal of two high value trees, and is inconsistent with the aims and objectives of the relevant planning instruments; consent should not be granted and the appeal is dismissed.
