Marina Bay v Pittwater Council [2008] NSWLEC 14

The proposed development does not sufficiently break up its built form with landscaping to meet the requirements of responding to the desired future character as set out in relevant planning controls. Despite some improvements and compliance in technical aspects, the bulk of the building and insufficient landscaped separation render the development inconsistent with planning principles, warranting refusal.
