(3)

In deciding whether to grant development consent for development on land to

which this clause applies, the consent authority must consider:

(a) whether the development is likely to have:

(i)      any adverse impact on the condition, ecological value and significance of the fauna and flora on the land, and

(ii)      any adverse impact on the importance of the vegetation on the land to the habitat and survival of native fauna, and

Development consent must not be granted to development on land to which

this clause applies unless the consent authority is satisfied that:

(a)	the development is designed, sited and will be managed to avoid any significant adverse environmental impact, or
(b)	if that impact cannot be reasonably avoided by adopting feasible alternatives—the development is designed, sited and will be managed to minimise that impact, or
(c)	if that impact cannot be minimised—the development will be managed to mitigate that impact.
