Hurray! Congratulations BADH. That's fantastic news. You're on your way!!
Thanks Lizzy! I'm totally beside myself really.
Yes it's true!!! Our DA has been approved. I just logged onto our council website as I do about a hundred times a day and there it was APP BY DELEG!!! I nearly fell off the lounge. Admittedly I don't know what, if any conditions there are but still....it only took 39 days!! We were expecting at least 2 to 3 months.
Will get the gritty details tomorrow..... fingers crossed it's more in our rational favour than that of our irrational neighbours!!
Yahhhhoooo congrats
on getting you DA through. Neighbors hey who needs them. specially when they are cows. Grrrrrrrrr blow their letter box up.
Thanks J&T, donuts and haywgl!
I spoke to council this morning and there is only 1 condition - that our privacy screen needs to be beefed up. Other than that NOTHING!!! No obscuring any kitchen windows/doors or the kids bedroom windows! I'm so excited it's crazy. The council officer said it would be unreasonable to obscure our downstairs windows!! What a legend!!! Woohoo! Got to love a council person who is reasonable!

Great news and 39 days is good timing too! What Council are you with? sounds like Councils are getting faster and more reasonable lately, that's good news. Glad to hear that you didn't have to obscure any windows or anything like that.

Believe it or not it's Lane Cove. I think they are in the top 3 slowest! We were expecting about 3 months!!
Hopefully with the CDC processes coming in all those that still have to go through DA's like us will get through quicker with less work for the councils.
If I'm reading this correctly..... a council used some common sense in making their decision???
Sorry for the delay, was just picking myself up off the floor!
Congratulations! This was the best outcome, the fair outcome and the only sensible outcome!
Great news Badh, Nice to see the council using common sense and it good to see that unreasonable neighbours do not always win.

39 Days with Lane Cove Council! that's an awesome outcome, there's still some hope for us with Hornsby then!
Thanks everyone! It's nice to get so much support through all of this
Woah!! That's AWESOME news!!
