Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would comply with the nationally described space standard (NDSS)
  • whether prior approval should be granted having particular regard to the contamination risks in relation to the building and the provision of natural light in habitable rooms

What decided it

The lack of substantive evidence to demonstrate that the site would not be contaminated land as a result of the proposed residential change of use, and the inability to guarantee adequate natural light in all habitable rooms due to the uncontrolled third-party access adjacent to the site.
