Planning

Planning approval and building & plumbing approval are two separate processes. Often a particular use or development of land may require approvals under both processes.
The planning approval process involves assessment of a proposal to use or develop land within a planning scheme.
Some of the issues that planning looks at are:
-
Will a proposed development affect the neighbour's
-
Is a proposed development positioned far enough away from boundaries?
-
Is a proposed building too high?
-
Is the proposed use of the land appropriate to the area?
-
Will a proposed development affect the streetscape?
-
the proposed hours of operation ?
