Carbone v Camden Council [2015] NSWLEC 1161

Carbone v Camden Council [2015] NSWLEC 1161

The appeal should be upheld because the subdivision proposal meets the minimum lot size under CLEP, and CDCP non-compliances are minor and adequately addressed by conditions, including nominated building envelopes and tree protection. The impact on area character and amenity is acceptable given prevailing and changing settlement patterns.
