Land and Environment Court Confirms "Planning Principle" on Site Isolation

Friday, 17 March 2017 10:32

In the recent case of 193 Liverpool Road Pty Ltd v Inner West Council [2017] NSWLEC 13, Justice Moore affirmed the planning principle set out in Karavellas v Sutherland Shire Council [2004] NSWLEC 251 in relation to the issue of site isolation as a result of redevelopment of adjacent sites.

Further, His Honour noted that the earlier decisions on site isolation, namely Melissa Grech v Auburn Council [2004] NSWLEC 40 and Cornerstone Property Group Pty Ltd v Warringah Council [2004] NSWLEC 189 had been subsumed into the decision of Karavellas, which case now covered the field.
