Casaceli v Sutherland Shire Council [2021] NSWLEC 1100

Casaceli v Sutherland Shire Council [2021] NSWLEC 1100

The proposed modification is inconsistent with the applicable planning controls, particularly in relation to bulk, scale, privacy, setbacks, and urban design. The modification would not attain high quality design outcomes or effectively integrate with the existing streetscape. It would present unacceptable visual, privacy, and urban design impacts, and necessary information for proper assessment (such as overshadowing plans) was not submitted. Therefore, the appeal must be dismissed.
