Re: Do votes against renovations need to be “reasonable”?

Thanks Jimmy, thats exactly what I wanted to know.  I wanted to make sure I was correct before saying that to the meeting. 

Her special by-law will cover most of those measures – provided she shows she is meeting all the clauses of her by-law.  

The only aspect not covered is the impact on others property. The reason Council gave for requiring a DA not just a Complying Development Certificate was that they need to check how the alteration will effect neighbouring properties. Since our properties are townhouses and the alteration is to the back wall and courtyard at the back of the house its possible those concerns will already have been addressed by the time we have to vote on it.  I’ll be interested to see how that goes in reality….
