Penrith Local Environmental Plan 2010

The objectives of this clause are as follows—

to ensure that lot sizes are compatible with the environmental capabilities of the land being subdivided,

to minimise any likely impact of subdivision and development on the amenity of neighbouring properties,

to ensure that lot sizes and dimensions allow developments to be sited to protect natural or cultural features including heritage items and retain special features such as trees and views,

to regulate the density of development and ensure that there is not an unreasonable increase in the demand for public services or public facilities,

to ensure that lot sizes and dimensions are able to accommodate development consistent with relevant development controls.

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.

In calculating the size of a battle-axe lot, the area of the access laneway must not be included.

This clause does not apply in relation to the subdivision of any land—

by the registration of a strata plan or strata plan of subdivision under the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015, or

by any kind of subdivision under the Community Land Development Act 2021.
