Pleased to have assisted our client in successfully appealing the refusal of a development application for the demolition and construction of a 108-place childcare centre in the Parramatta City Council LGA that consisted of a two-level childcare centre over basement parking.
The contentious issues in the proceedings not only included several planning contentions including streetscape and internal amenity issues, but also revolved around allowance for prospective road widening, arboricultural issues, acoustic issues, stormwater issues and the impact of stormwater design on unencumbered outdoor play areas, as well as an air quality issue given the closeness of the proposed centre to the M4 motorway.
Overall, a very pleasing result.
The decision can be found here.
