If your proposed development has aspects of non-compliance, lack of local area precedence or there are potential reasons as to why there would be objections from neighbouring properties or council, then a Preliminary Planning Report is for you.

 

Framework: Overall analysis of how your project stacks up when the relevant SEPP/LEP/DCP controls are applied, whether or not the project meets objectives, what precedence can be relied upon.

 

The PPR will comprehensively explore all of the relevant planning controls, itemising them in an easy to read document. The PPR will conclude with recommendations and next steps forward.

A Statement of Environmental Effects is a detailed report addressing:

 

• Environmental impacts of proposed developments;

• Justification of Development Controls;

• Compliance with Local Environmental Plan;

• Demonstration that project meets objectives of zone;

• Examples of precedence for council merit-based assessment;

• Demonstration that any aspects of non-compliance are mitigated or minimal in impact.

A drawing set for a Development Application (DA) in NSW related to residential/commercial projects must include several key components to ensure compliance with local regulations.

 

The set will generally consist of a site plan detailing the property boundaries, existing structures, and topographical features; floor plans for each level (existing and proposed), illustrating the layout and dimensions of rooms; elevations showing the exterior appearance from all sides; and sections that provide a cut-through view of the building, highlighting ceiling heights and structural elements.

​

Shadow diagrams, landscaping plans, GFA calculations, materials and finishes, photorealistic renders will likely be required for advanced residential applications, while soil/sediment/erosion and stormwater plans attract additional costs.

​

Commercial drawings will also require parking, waste, strata/complex drawings, proposed signage and fit-out detail.

A Heritage Impact Statement (HIS) is a crucial document required for Development Applications (DA) in NSW when a proposed development may affect a heritage item or conservation area.

 

The HIS assesses the potential impacts of the proposed development on the cultural significance of the heritage site. It identifies the heritage values at stake, including historical, aesthetic, scientific, and social aspects.

 

The statement outlines the existing condition of the heritage item, detailing its significance and any previous modifications.

A Planning Assessment Report is a detailed document prepared to support a Building Information Certificate (BIC) Application, required seeking approval for works completed without prior development consent or authorisation.

​

 

The report evaluates whether the unapproved works comply with applicable planning legislation, development controls and local council requirements.

A letter of exempt development in New South Wales (NSW) is an official document issued by local councils or relevant authorities that confirms a proposed development complies with the criteria set forth in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008.

 

This letter serves as an assurance that the development does not require a full development application, allowing for a more streamlined approval process.
