My plans for a dual occupancy have been declined by council due to several neighbour complaints.
A friend told me that I can go to the Land and Environment Court to argue my case for a minimal cost (approx $200)???
I could defend myself and the Court would consider the facts of the case rather than the emotive and unreasonable neighbour complaints???
If I lost the case, I'm not liable for the other party's court costs???
The council may even approve my plans to avoid the costs of going to court?????
...
If I can present my case for a minimal cost without the risk of paying court costs if I lost - Seems to me that I have nothing to lose but $200!
...
Could anyone provide any information about the possible risks/costs of taking the Council to the Land and Environment Court, please.
Thanks,
Crystal
