ITEM LPP051/19 – DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR 9-19 MARY STREET, AUBURN
BACKGROUND
1. By electronic determination made on 14 August 2019 the Local Planning Panel determined as follows:
“The Panel defers the application and requests the following:
1. The Council provide a supplementary report specifying how the conditions of the first consent need to be amended by the second consent (i.e. what specific conditions on the first consent need to be amended and how). For example, condition 2 of the first consent regarding plans requires amendment to refer to the new plans with the coloured modifications.
2. When that report has been provided, Council obtain legal advice that the pathway proposed is legally permissible and this advice be provided to the Panel.
3. This is to ensure that both consents can work together in a cohesive and practical way and achieve the form of development contemplated, i.e. a combined development of both sites.”
2. On 23 August 2019 the Panel was provided with an addendum report on the application including legal advice and an amended list of conditions.
Panel Decision
1. The Panel approves the variation to the development standard relating to height contained in clause 4.3 of the Auburn Local Environmental Plan 2010 as the applicant’s clause 4.6 objection has adequately addressed the matters required to be demonstrated by clause 4.6 (3) and the development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the height standard and the objectives of the B4 Mixed Use zone.
