Cumberland Local Environmental Plan 2021

The objectives of this clause are as follows—

to ensure that new lots are able to accommodate development that is consistent with development controls including adequate areas for vehicle and pedestrian access, private open space and landscaping,

to prevent fragmentation of land that would preclude the achievement of the land uses or development desired in a given locality,

to ensure that new subdivisions reflect characteristic lot sizes and patterns of the area.

This clause applies to a subdivision of any land shown on the Lot Size Map that requires development consent and that is carried out after the commencement of this Plan.

The size of any lot resulting from a subdivision of land to which this clause applies is not to be less than the minimum size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land.

If a lot is a battleaxe lot, or other lot with an access handle, the area of the access handle is not to be included when calculating the size of the lot for the purposes of this clause.

The minimum lot size for dwelling houses is—

if the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map is 550 square metres—550 square metres,

otherwise—450 square metres.

The minimum lot size for development on land shown edged blue and identified as “Former Lidcombe Hospital Site” on the Lot Size Map is as follows in relation to development for the purposes of—

dwelling houses—

350 square metres, or

if a garage will be accessed from the rear of the property—290 square metres, or

if the dwelling house will be on a zero lot line—270 square metres,

semi-detached dwellings—270 square metres,

multi dwelling housing—170 square metres for each dwelling,

attached dwellings—170 square metres.
