New Age Constructions (NSW) Pty Limited v Ryde Council [2007] NSWLEC 425

Conditional development consent should be granted because the amendments address privacy, access, and parking concerns, but as stormwater pumping to Ryde Road would exacerbate flooding and does not comply with DCP controls, the applicant must acquire a downstream easement for gravity discharge to the same catchment area as a condition precedent for consent.
