Ridong Jinwei Pty Limited v Ku-ring-gai Council [2012] NSWLEC 1051

Ridong Jinwei Pty Limited v Ku-ring-gai Council [2012] NSWLEC 1051

While the modification is substantially the same development in a qualitative and quantitative sense, the cumulative effect of the modifications fails to satisfy numerous design quality principles and amenity requirements under SEPP 65, RFDC, and local planning controls. The merits of the application, including unit mix, amenity, and streetscape presentation, do not warrant granting consent to the modification.
