S & J Yarham v Ryde City Council [2003] NSWLEC 334

The Court found that the amended plans and conditions addressed the technical, amenity, and design concerns raised in relation to drainage, driveway configuration, height, setbacks, density, solar access, privacy, and security. The Court determined that the proposal substantially complied with relevant planning controls or that any non-compliances were minor and acceptable in the circumstances, thus warranting approval of the development.
