Also, in accordance with Clause 4.6(4) of the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013, the Panel is satisfied that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the ‘Height of building’ development standard and the objectives for development within the zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out.
