250820 Minor Change Request - 14 Hastings - Pool · 132004.240137.2

    We consider the proposed change consists of a “Minor Change” to the original Development Permit
    and we make this request to change a development approval under Section 81 as the modification
    constitutes a minor change under the provisions of the Act.

    A minor change means a change that –
    (b) for a development approval
        (i) would not result in substantially different development; and
        (ii) if a development application for the development, including the change, were made when
             the change application is made would not cause—
              a. the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
              b. referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no referral
                  agencies for the development application; or
              c. referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
              d. a referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to, matters
                  prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matters the referral agency
                  must have assessed the application against, or have had regard to, when the
                  application was made; or
              e. public notification if public notification was not required for the development application.

    Our assessment of the above is as follows:

    In relation to item (b) (i), the proposal would not constitute substantially different development.
    Substantially different development is outlined in Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules
    under the Planning Act 2016 as follows:
        1) A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the
             proposed change:
              a) involves a new use; or
              b) results in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
              c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
              d) changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
              e) removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
              f) significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic
                  to the site; or
              g) introduces new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
              h) removes an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
                  of the development; or
              i) impacts on infrastructure provisions.

    The proposal is not substantially different as outlined above on the basis that:
    • The proposal does not involve a new use and the uses of the site will remain as originally
       approved for the purpose of Shops, Multiple Dwelling, Restaurants and Bars.
    • The proposal does not apply to a new parcel of land and continues to apply to Lot 7 on
       RP802632.
    • The proposed change does not dramatically change scale, bulk and appearance of the existing,
       approved built form. The proposal relates to the inclusion of a small swimming pool within an
       existing hotel suite.
