Consolidated planning provisions published on website

Central Coast Council has published its new Consolidated Local Environment Plan and De-velopment Control Plan on its website.

The plans will both take effect on August 1.

The Central Coast council website contains a "fact sheet" on the consolidated plans.

The main change to the Local Environment Plan it mentions is that dual occupancies will be able to be proposed on residential R2 zone lots.

However, it does not mention the exceptions now allowed to the height limit for buildings in town and village centres on the Peninsula..

The new limits are for Woy Woy town centre 19.75 metres, Umina village centre 14.25 metres and Ettalong village centre 17 metres.

These heights are only permitted if the site is 1000 square metres or more and the street frontage 20 metres.

The constraints are much less rigorous than in Erina where buildings are limited to 14.25 metres, but only where the site is 3000 square metres and the street frontage is 40 metres.

The "fact sheet" for the development control plan claims: "Changes to Council's controls are not substantial with local provisions such as those relating to major centres being retained.

"The existing character statements for the former Gosford Local Government Area will be retained as a consideration."

During the consolidation process, the council published a document with a table comparing the current controls for the Gosford and Wyong with the new "consolidated" controls.

It shows that overwhelmingly the value chosen as the "consolidated" value was more generous to the developer.

For instance, until August 1, front setbacks for a dual occupancy and multi dwelling are six metres for Gosford and 4.5 metres for Wyong.

Under the consolidated plan, the setback will be 4.5 metres unless the road is less than 12 metres wide.

The current rear setback for a multi-dwelling in Gosford is currently six metres and in Wyong 4.5 metres.

The consolidated setback will be 4.5 metres.

The Private Open Space requirement for a duplex is currently 75 square metres in Gosford and 45 square metres in Wyong.

The consolidated requirement is 45 square metres.

This pattern is repeated throughout.

In the light of the 17metre height limit now encouraged for Ettalong, perhaps the above changes are not that substantial.

However, perhaps they explain the lull in significant development applications in recent weeks.
