Rodney Dawson
Mr Dawson has appeared for a number of objectors against substantial residential development in coastal areas on the Central Coast. In the main; these cases involve the loss of views by residents and a loss of amenity through overshadowing, noise and other issues related to high density living. A number of challenges were brought in the Court alleging that development consent for these high density residential developments were void by reason of failures in the process in the granting of consent. A successful outcome was achieved for the objectors by negotiating a form of development which was generally lower in height and preserved views and amenity.
