Premier Building Group v Hornsby Shire Council [2006] NSWLEC 476

Premier Building Group v Hornsby Shire Council [2006] NSWLEC 476

The appeal was dismissed because the proposed car parking facility and associated access, roofed structures, ramps and noise mitigation measures failed to respond appropriately to built form and noise impacts on neighbouring residences; although the clubhouse expansion itself was not fundamentally criticised, it could not be separated from the need for additional car parking, so the entire development application had to be refused.
