Taylor v Mosman Municipal Council [2021] NSWLEC 1617

The Court adopted the Respondent's wording for Condition 16, finding it sufficiently clear and practical to ensure the preservation of a mature native canopy tree without preventing reasonable maintenance, and was satisfied that the amended plans and final conditions of consent aligned with the principal judgment's reasons. Consequently, the appeal was upheld, and consent was granted to the modification application, subject to those conditions.
