Planning committee
Decided by Ashfield Planning Committee on 2 Sept 2026. Earlier deferred on 10 Jun 2026.
Approved
Against officer advice: officers had recommended refusal.
- Officers advised refusal because the highly vulnerable development lacked sufficient flood-risk mitigation and justification for its cesspit.
- Residents raised concerns about flooding, drainage, character, privacy, noise, traffic, trees, ecology and other impacts.
- Members rejected the officer recommendation and approved the application unanimously, accepting the flood risk and sealed cesspit.
