Step 3 - Check Plans/Codes/Policies

 

Lane Cove Council has a range of planning controls that may apply to your proposal. It is essential that you determine how your proposal may be affected by these planning controls before you start designing your development. By checking which controls are relevant to your proposal, it may save you time and money in the design phase.

In particular, the Lane Cove Local Environmental Plan 2009 provides controls for things such as building design and height, floor space ratio and heritage conservation. These controls must be complied with.

Council also has a Development Control Plan which provide further detailed controls on matters such as car parking, storm water and bush land conservation.

During your review process you may find that your property is also affected by other special controls such as those imposed by the New South Wales State Government (e.g. State Environmental Planning Policies). To ensure that you have considered the full range controls affecting your proposal, contact Council’s Customer Service Centre and speak with the duty Planner.
