QSA Businesses v Campbelltown City Council [2009] NSWLEC 1009

Approval of the amended development proposal is warranted because the technical concerns raised were resolved by suitable amendments, and the SEPP No.1 objection to the setback standard is well founded in the circumstances, being consistent with the objectives of the LEP, SEPP No.1, and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Compliance with the standard is unreasonable in this case, and the proposal will maintain the streetscape and amenity objectives.

Ratio Decidendi
