Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2015

The objectives of this clause are as follows—

to ensure that a new lot created for the purpose of a dwelling house has a sufficient area available for the following—

a dwelling house and ancillary facilities,

an outdoor recreation and service space,

vehicular access to and from the lot,

landscaping,

drainage,

parking,

to ensure that new development complements the established scale and character of the streetscape where the development is carried out, and does not dominate the natural qualities of its setting,

to ensure that lot sizes and dimensions allow development to be sited to protect natural or cultural features including heritage items, remnant vegetation, habitat and waterways.

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.

Development consent must not be granted for the subdivision of land that would result in an internal lot for which the minimum lot size shown on the Lot Size Map in relation to that land is specified in Column 1 of the table to this subclause, unless the size of the internal lot is not less than the size specified opposite in Column 2 of that table.

If a lot is an internal lot or other lot with an access handle, the area of the access handle is not to be included in calculating the lot size.

This clause does not apply to the subdivision of a lot in the following zones if there is a dual occupancy on the lot and one of those dwellings will be situated on each lot resulting from the subdivision—

Zone R2 Low Density Residential,

Zone R3 Medium Density Residential,

Zone R4 High Density Residential,

Zone C4 Environmental Living.

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.

This clause does not apply to the subdivision of land occurring in connection with the closure of a road, or part of a road, by a public authority under the Roads Act 1993.
