Event and Time
Event Description
The case describes a Class 1 Appeal made by TLB Trading Pty Ltd (the Applicant) to modify Development Consent No 8.2017.232.1, which was originally granted for the demolition of an existing dwelling and construction of a new three-storey residential flat building at 4 Parriwi Road, Mosman, NSW. The modification sought adjustments to the layout, minor external additions, alterations to window openings, and rationalization of facades.
Application and Claims
- Applicant’s Claims:
- Sought modifications under s 4.55(8) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EPA Act). - Claimed that the modifications were not substantial changes and that they did not alter the character of the originally approved development.
- Respondent’s Position:
- Mosman Municipal Council (the Respondent) facilitated a conciliation conference and ultimately consented to the proposed modifications based on community participation and consideration of submissions received.
Judicial Decisions
The Court upheld the appeal and modified the development consent, confirming that the modifications align with the provisions of the EPA Act, particularly s 4.55(2) and s 4.55(8), thus enabling the Applicant's proposed changes to the development.
