(2)

Development consent may, subject to this clause, be granted for development even though the development would contravene a development standard imposed by this Part or any other environmental planning instrument. However, this clause does not apply to a development standard that is expressly excluded from the operation of this clause.

(3)

Development consent must not be granted for development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent authority has considered a written request from the applicant that seeks to justify the contravention of the development standard by demonstrating:

(b)

that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the development standard.

(4)

Development consent must not be granted for development that

contravenes a development standard unless:

(a)

the consent authority is satisfied that:

(i)     the applicant’s written request has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by subclause (3), and

(ii)      the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives

2013 No 76

State Environmental Planning Policy Amendment (Minmi–Newcastle Link

Schedule 1

Amendment of Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2004

of the particular standards and the objectives for development within the zone in which the development is proposed to be carried out, and

(b)

the concurrence of the Director-General has been obtained.

(5)

In deciding whether to grant concurrence, the Director-General

must consider:

(a)

whether contravention of the development standard raises any matter of significance for State or regional environmental planning, and

(b)

the public benefits of maintaining the development standard, and

(c)

any other matters required to be taken into consideration by the Director-General before granting concurrence.

(6)

Development consent must not be granted under this clause for a

subdivision of land in Zone E2 Environmental Conservation if:

(a)

the subdivision will result in 2 or more lots of less than the minimum area specified for such lots by a development standard, or

(b)

the subdivision will result in at least one lot that is less than 90% of the minimum area specified for such a lot by a development standard.

(7)

After determining a development application made pursuant to this clause, the consent authority must keep a record of its assessment of the factors required to be addressed in the applicant’s written request referred to in subclause (3).

(8)

This clause does not allow development consent to be granted for

development that would contravene any of the following:

(a)

a development standard for complying development,

(b)

a development standard that arises, under the regulations under the Act, in connection with a commitment set out in a BASIX certificate for a building to which State Environmental Planning Policy (Building Sustainability Index: BASIX) 2004 applies or for the land on which such a building is situated,

clause 123.

122      Relevant acquisition authority

(1)

The objective of this clause is to identify, for the purposes of section 27 of the Act, the authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land reserved for certain public

State Environmental Planning Policy Amendment (Minmi–Newcastle Link

2013 No 76

Road) 2013

Amendment of Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2004

Schedule 1

purposes if the land is required to be acquired under Division 3 of Part 2 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (the owner-initiated acquisition provisions).

Note. If the landholder will suffer hardship if there is any delay in the land being acquired by the relevant authority, section 23 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 requires the authority to acquire the land.

If land is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure is required to take action to enable the designation of the acquiring authority under this Part. Pending the designation of the acquiring authority for that land, the acquiring authority is to be the authority determined by order of the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure (see section 21 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991).

(2)

The authority of the State that will be the relevant authority to acquire land to which this clause applies, if the land is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, is the authority of the State specified below in relation to the land shown on the Land Reservation Acquisition Map (or, if an authority of the State is not specified in relation to land required to be so acquired, the authority designated or determined under those provisions).

If land, other than land specified in the Table to subclause (2), is required to be acquired under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions, the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure is required to take action to enable the designation of the acquiring authority under this Part. Pending the designation of the acquiring authority for that land, the acquiring authority is to be the authority determined by order of the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure (see section 21 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991).

(3)

Development on land acquired by an authority of the State under the owner-initiated acquisition provisions may, before it is used for the purpose for which it is reserved, be carried out, with development consent, for any purpose.

123      Controls relating to miscellaneous permissible uses

(1)

Bed and breakfast accommodation
