Mason v City of Sydney Council [2004] NSWLEC 352

Mason v City of Sydney Council [2004] NSWLEC 352

The proposal for the automotive workshop is not compatible with the residential nature of the street due to intensity of use, limited physical constraints, reliance on street operations, and evidence of non-compliance with mitigation measures. Consequently, the development application is not consistent with the objectives of the Mixed-Use 10 zone and must fail.
