Shytot Pty Ltd v Marrickville Council [2004] NSWLEC 318

Because restricted premises were permissible with consent in the applicable zone, there were no specific Marrickville controls prohibiting or imposing separation requirements on the use, and the evidence did not establish unacceptable impacts on sensitive land uses, clustering, access, safety or the public interest, the proposal was suitable for conditional consent including a one-year trial period and management conditions.
