Como v Marrickville CC [2006] NSWLEC 105

Como v Marrickville CC [2006] NSWLEC 105

The proposed Torrens Title subdivision is not consistent with the planning regime nor the dominant subdivision pattern of the area. It would be out of character with the locality in size and configuration, and future redevelopment would adversely affect integration and area character. Real consideration must be given to council's DCP provisions, and for these reasons, the appeal and subdivision application must fail.
