PUTRAJAYA: Residents of a condominium in Sungai Ara, Penang won their appeal to quash the Penang Island City Council (MBPP)'s decision to grant planning permission to a property developer to build a housing scheme on a hillslope.
The unanimous decision was delivered online on Friday by the Federal Court’s three-member bench comprising the newly appointed Chief Judge of Malaya Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah and Federal Court judges Datuk Nallini Pathmanathan and Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang.
The court also ordered Sunway City and MBPP to pay a total cost of RM300,000 to the residents of the Sunrise Garden condominium. As such, she said the local authority as the entity responsible for the issuance of planning approval has a duty to comply with the provisions of the TCPA. The residents appealed to the Penang Appeal Board and on Nov 20, 2015, and the board set aside the planning permission granted to Sunway City.
