Has your development been refused?

Even if projects comply with planning controls and should be approved, applications for development consent are sometimes refused by councils. Lack of 100% compliance with planning controls is the most frequent reason for refusal. Neustein Urban can assess your project and advise on the steps you need to follow to get approval. This firm has been involved in about 600 planning appeals in the Land and Environment Court (LEC) of NSW. We have advised state government bodies, councils, big and small developers and individuals about planning appeals.

Our goal is to secure the optimal environmental and planning outcome from planning appeals. This sometimes brings us into conflict with council opinions. We are specialists in explaining the rules, even to the council which made them. We represent our clients' interests in front of the Court, or at mediations and other types of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
