               Court Judgment and represents the guiding framework for permissible development within this
               precinct. Council is obligated to uphold the integrity of this approved plan and, accordingly, will not
               support any proposal that seeks to exceed the prescribed floor area or otherwise contravene the
               established development parameters.
