Modern development in a heritage conservation area held to be reasonable despite moderate to severe view impacts

The Land and Environment Court has approved a modern addition across 2 storeys to a highrise building in the eclectic Potts Point Heritage Conservation Area. Joshua Palmer acted for the Applicant whose development was approved. The Court reconsidered the application of its view sharing planning principle in dense urban environments and approved the additions to the building despite serious impacts on harbour views to a number of nearby properties.
