Development provides for irregular shaped lots to be created only        No acceptable outcome provided
where:
(a)   the creation of regular lots is impractical such as at a curve
      in the road or because of topographical constraints;
(b)   safe access and visual exposure to and from the site can be
      provided, while not adversely impacting on the functionality
      of the surrounding road network;
(c)   it is desirable to avoid clearing of vegetation and the
      fragmentation of habitat in ecologically important areas; and
(d)   the irregular lot is demonstrably suitable for its intended
      purpose.
