is a lot that is at least the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land, or
is a lot created before this Plan commenced and on which the erection of a dwelling house or dual occupancy (attached) was permissible immediately before that commencement, or
is a lot resulting from a subdivision for which development consent (or equivalent) was granted before this Plan commenced and on which the erection of a dwelling house or dual occupancy (attached) would have been permissible if the plan of subdivision had been registered before that commencement, or
would have been a lot or a holding referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) had it not been affected by—
a minor realignment of its boundaries that did not create an additional lot, or
a subdivision creating or widening a public road or public reserve or for another public purpose.
