Planning Act 2023

An authorised use of land, or of a building or other structure on land, requires development approval if—

earthworks or other construction work is undertaken on the land; and

the work requires development approval.

Also, an authorised use of land, or of a building or other structure on land, requires development approval if—

a building or other structure is constructed on the land, or a building or other structure on the land is altered or demolished; and

the construction, alteration or demolition requires development approval.

Also, an authorised use of land, or of a building or other structure on land, requires development approval if—

the placard quantity or more of a Schedule 11 hazardous chemical is to be stored on the land or in the building or other structure; and

the land, building or other structure is not mentioned in the Planning and Development (Placard Quantity Premises) List 2018 (NI2018-532) (repealed).

In this section:

placard quantity—see the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, dictionary.

Schedule 11 hazardous chemical—see the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011, dictionary.

Note Because the use of land, or of a building or other structure on land, is development (see s 14 (1)), if the use of the land, building or other structure stops being exempt under this section, development approval will be required for the use.
