Panetta v Canada Bay Council [2012] NSWLEC 1156

The Court was satisfied that it was lawful and appropriate to approve the amended development application by consent because the amended plans and agreed conditions addressed the relevant planning, heritage, parking, acoustic and amenity issues; the restaurant use was expressly permissible with consent under clause 12 of Schedule 1 of LEP 2008 if consistent with conservation and residential amenity; additional parking was constrained by the heritage significance of the site; and the acoustic conditions were sufficient to protect surrounding properties.
