Sample draft
Draft objection for SSD-97528708
142-148 and 160 Oxford Street, Paddington NSW

1.Height and bulk exceed the prevailing controls

High

The proposed built form relies on an uplift that has not been justified against the scale of the surrounding Paddington heritage conservation area, and the visual impact assessment does not test the closest affected terraces.

“The exhibited urban design report assesses view impacts from Oxford Street only, not the residential streets to the south.”

Assess against Local environmental plan height controls and SSD assessment guidelines

2.Privacy and overlooking of adjoining terraces

Material

Upper-level balconies and windows directly face the private open space of adjoining homes with no separation study or screening plan in the exhibited drawings.

“The architectural plans show upper-level openings within 12 metres of rear boundaries without screening details.”

Assess against Apartment Design Guide separation and privacy provisions
What I’m asking for
  • Refuse the application unless the applicant resolves the identified evidentiary gaps.
  • Require corrected and independently reviewable supporting material before any favourable determination.

Sample based on a public SSD exhibition — every draft must be verified against the official record.

Responsible use

Built around human verification, not blind automation.

ObjectionEngine makes the drafting clearer and faster without pretending the planning record checks itself. You remain responsible for what is true, current and ready to submit.

Official source checking

You still verify planning controls, authority records, exhibition dates and lodgement rules against the authoritative material.

No legal-advice boundary

The product supports evidence construction and drafting. It does not create a solicitor-client relationship or lodge material for you.

Your words, your decision

Results are shown to you only. A result is published at a public link only when you explicitly choose to share it, and you can unshare it any time.

Responsible platform boundary

No automatic lodgement, no claim of legal advice, and no promise that planning controls or deadlines are current without user verification.

For teams

For project teams and planning professionals.

The same engine, at matter scale: evidence registers, issue analysis and report drafting for the developments your team is responding to.
