Toth v Campbelltown City Council [2004] NSWLEC 289

Toth v Campbelltown City Council [2004] NSWLEC 289

The Court was satisfied that the primary-zone social impact findings were reliable and that Dr Stubbs' approach was reasonable in the circumstances. The further evidence did not change the earlier conclusion that the proposal represented a negative social impact in the subject location, and the earlier determinative town planning reasons remained unchanged. The application therefore did not merit consent.

Appeal Against Refusal of a Development Application / Further Hearing After S 56 a Appeal Remitted for Determination; Final Orders

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether Development Application No. 1019/2002 for a first floor addition and use as restricted premises at 55 Queen Street, Campbelltown, should be granted consent.'

The further evidence did not change the earlier conclusion that the proposal represented a negative social impact in the subject location, and the earlier determinative town planning reasons remained unchanged. The application therefore did not merit consent.
