Cribb v Ku-ring-gai Council [2005] NSWLEC 346

Cribb v Ku-ring-gai Council [2005] NSWLEC 346

The appeal was upheld because the applicant's amended plans and concessions satisfactorily resolved the respondent's concerns about setbacks, streetscape, fencing, open space, landscaping, privacy, solar access and bulk, and there were no other sufficient reasons for refusal; development consent was therefore granted subject to the amended drawings and conditions.
