Minimum subdivision lot sizes for dual occupancies in certain zones
4.1B Minimum subdivision lot sizes for dual occupancies in certain zones
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
to achieve planned residential density in certain zones,
to ensure that lot sizes are consistent with the predominant subdivision pattern of the area and maintain a low density residential character in existing neighbourhoods,
to facilitate development applications seeking concurrent approval for dual occupancy development and subdivision,
to prevent the fragmentation of land.
Despite clause 4.1, development consent may be granted to development for the purpose of a dual occupancy if the development will be on a lot that is at least the minimum size shown on the Lot Size for Dual Occupancy Development Map in relation to that land.
Despite clause 4.1 and subclause (2), development consent may be granted for the subdivision of land in Zone R2 Low Density Residential into lots that are less than the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land if—
there is an existing dual occupancy on the land that was lawfully erected under an environmental planning instrument or there is a development application for the concurrent approval of a dual occupancy and its subdivision into 2 lots, and
the lot size of each resulting lot will be at least 300 square metres, and
the subdivision will not result in more than one principal dwelling on each resulting lot.
