Parr v Sutherland Shire Council [2006] NSWLEC 215

Parr v Sutherland Shire Council [2006] NSWLEC 215

The SEPP 1 objections concerning allotment width, basement car park height, and floor space ratio are well founded, as strict compliance with the respective development standards would be unreasonable and unnecessary. The development achieves the objectives underlying the planning instruments and does not produce unacceptable environmental, amenity, or character impacts. The proposal also meets minimum landscaped area requirements, and other issues raised by residents do not warrant refusal.
