Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would accord with the conditions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO with regard to transport impacts of the development, particularly to ensure safe site access
- Whether the development would accord with the conditions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO with regard to contamination risks in relation to the building
- Whether the development would accord with the conditions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO with regard to the provision of natural light in all habitable rooms
What decided it
The development failed to meet the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class MA of the GPDO on all three matters in dispute: transport impacts and safe access could not be demonstrated, contamination risks were not adequately assessed, and adequate natural light provision was not evidenced.
