Judgment 1. These are two appeals relating to two adjoining parcels of land that propose development of a KFC restaurant (Matter No 2016/159648) on one lot (Lot 2) and a service station (Matter No 2016/159703) on the other (Lot 1) sharing a common access road to be constructed between the two lots. As the contentions in the cases are similar the parties elected to have the matters heard concurrently with evidence in one, evidence in the other as appropriate.
