Stafford Watts: The Architect and former Land and Environment Court Commissioner. He served on the LEC court during the tenure of Justice Cowdroy. According Sydney City Council, he is currently in private negotiations to reduce the scheme just slightly. According to Council it might be approved without further notifications or public review. Meanwhile, neighbours are demanding transparency and cannot understand why former members of the Land and Environment Court are allowed to have the appearance of special access in both the purchase of the land for $1 without an auction and the approval of a non compliant development - right in their own back yards.
