Council’s willingness to defend residents’ amenity and properties has been raised by concerned locals and residents following the outcome of the land and environment court (L&EC) case in Bian Court, Ocean Shores.
The proposal by developer Callum Sked to consolidate and develop three large lots, by adding eight townhouses between the three existing dwellings, went to the L&EC for a second time (after an earlier deemed refusal) with a decision made on 15 January 2021 to approve the development.
Issues raised as major concerns for local residents included the history of landslips, and that existing flooding of dwellings downhill of the site would be exacerbated, as well as issues around stormwater management as well as changing the low density character of the area.
