2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background

The original application went before Council as the proposed dwelling included 3 storey portions
and a building height of 12m, with various setback relaxations sought.

Council issued a Preliminary Approval for a Material Change of Use of Premises for a Detached
Dwelling on 22 October 2015. The Preliminary Approval required the proposal plans to be
amended to reduce site cover to 35% prior the issue of a Development Permit.

Through the Negotiated Decision process amended plans were submitted complying with the
Preliminary Approval and a subsequent Development Permit for a Material Change of Use of
Premises for a Detached Dwelling was issued on the 17 November 2015.

The original application was code assessable and was not required to be publicly notified. The
proposal remains code assessable.


3.   STATUTORY PROCESS
The applicant has requested to make a change to a development approval under s369 of the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009. A request to change a development approval under s369 can
only be made in circumstances where that change would constitute a ‘permissible change’.
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to
constitute a permissible change on grounds that:
   The change would not result in a substantially different development because the proposal
     involves a reduction in scale to the built form of the detached house and does not change
     the land use approved on-site;
