Naddaf v Parramatta City Council [2020] NSWLEC 1254

Naddaf v Parramatta City Council [2020] NSWLEC 1254

The minor site area shortfall is imperceptible and does not undermine the objectives of the minimum allotment size standard or the R2 zone. The written request adequately justifies the variation with appropriate environmental planning grounds related to the subdivision pattern and physical lot characteristics; the proposal maintains compatible scale and amenity in the Special Character Area. Thus, the appeal is upheld and consent granted subject to conditions.
