| Schedule 1 | Amendment of State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006 |
zone must be no less than the minimum lot size set out in that
table.
| (4) | This clause applies to the development of any land shown on the Residential Density Map that is carried out after the commencement of this Precinct Plan. |
| 4.1B | Residential density | |
|
| (a) | to establish minimum density requirements for residential development within the Schofields Precinct, and |
| (b) | to ensure that residential development makes efficient use of land and infrastructure, and contributes to the availability of new housing, and |

| density means the net developable area in hectares of the land on which the development is situated divided by the number of dwellings proposed to be located on that land. | ||||||
| net developable area means the land occupied by the development, including internal streets plus half the width of any adjoining access roads that provide vehicular access, but excluding land that is not zoned for residential purposes. |
| 4.3 | Height of buildings | |
|
| (a) | to establish the maximum height of buildings on land within the Schofields Precinct, |
| State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) | 2012 No 189 |
| Amendment (Schofields Precinct) 2012 |

| In determining the site area of proposed development for the purpose of applying a floor space ratio, the site area is taken to be: | ||||
| ||||
| In addition, subclauses (4)–(7) apply to the calculation of site area for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio to proposed development. | ||||
| (4) | Exclusions from site area | |||
| The following land must be excluded from the site area: | ||||
| ||||
| (5) | Strata subdivisions | |||
| The area of a lot that is wholly or partly on top of another or others in a strata subdivision is to be included in the calculation of the site area only to the extent that it does not overlap with another lot already included in the site area calculation. | ||||
| (6) | Only significant development to be included | |||
| The site area for proposed development must not include a lot additional to a lot or lots on which the development is being carried out unless the proposed development includes significant development on that additional lot. | ||||
| (7) | Certain public land to be separately considered | |||
| For the purpose of applying a floor space ratio to any proposed development on, above or below community land or a public place, the site area must only include an area that is on, above or below that community land or public place, and is occupied or physically affected by the proposed development, and may not include any other area on which the proposed development is to be carried out. |

| Amendment (Schofields Precinct) 2012 |
| Amendment of State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region | Schedule 1 |
| Growth Centres) 2006 |
| (8) | Existing buildings | |||
| The gross floor area of any existing or proposed buildings within the vertical projection (above or below ground) of the boundaries of a site is to be included in the calculation of the total floor space for the purposes of applying a floor space ratio, whether or not the proposed development relates to all of the buildings. | ||||
| (9) | Covenants to prevent “double dipping” | |||
| When development consent is granted to development on a site comprised of 2 or more lots, a condition of the consent may require a covenant to be registered that prevents the creation of floor area on a lot (the restricted lot) if the consent authority is satisfied that an equivalent quantity of floor area will be created on another lot only because the site included the restricted lot. | ||||
| (10) | Covenants affect consolidated sites | |||
| If: | ||||
| ||||
| the maximum amount of floor area allowed on the other land by the floor space ratio fixed for the site by this Precinct Plan is reduced by the quantity of floor space area the covenant prevents being created on the affected land. | ||||
| (11) | Definition | |||
| In this clause, public place has the same meaning as it has in the Local Government Act 1993. |
| 4.6 | Exceptions to development standards | |
|
| (a) | to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards to particular development, |
| (b) | to achieve better outcomes for and from development by allowing flexibility in particular circumstances. |
| (2) | Development consent may, subject to this clause, be granted for development even though the development would contravene a development standard imposed by this or any other environmental planning instrument. However, this clause does |

(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 of the particular standard 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. |
