Restaurant development at 143 Stoney Creek Road refused

Possible revised review application for Beverly Hills site
The Panel noted the applicant submitted additional information after Council assessment. If the applicant seeks a review under Division 8.2 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the Panel suggested changes including reduced operating hours, relocation or removal of some parking, greater landscaping and acoustic screening, one order station instead of two, bin room acoustic treatment, improved lighting controls, and formal submission of updated acoustic and tree information with revised plans.
Nearby residents may see a revised proposal return with tighter controls aimed at reducing noise, traffic and visual impacts.
