Yugaro Pty Ltd v Waverley Council [2011] NSWLEC 1102

Yugaro Pty Ltd v Waverley Council [2011] NSWLEC 1102

The proposed alterations and additions do not satisfy the aims and objectives of the council's LEP and DCP and would cause adverse and unreasonable environmental impacts to adjoining development, especially regarding solar access, amenity, and compatibility. The application fails because the impacts arising from a non-compliant proposal are not justified, and affordable housing provisions cannot be relied upon without evidence and a voluntary planning agreement.
