DECISION
The Development Application was refused.
REASONS FOR THE DECISION
1. The proposed development is a prohibited land use and does not satisfy the objectives of IN2 Light Industrial zone under Local Environmental Plan 2019.
(Section 4.15 (1)(a)(i) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979).
2. The proposed development does not satisfy the requirements of DCP Part C Section 1 – Parking. As a result the proposal is an unsatisfactory intensity of use for the site which has the potential to adversely impact on the use of the adjoining tenancies.
(Section 4.15(1)(a)(ii) of the Environmental Planning Assessment Act, 1979).
3. Clause 54 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations, 2000, enables Council to request the provision of additional information. The applicant was requested to provide additional information in regards to a review of the Category 1 fire safety provisions. Insufficient information has been submitted to Council staff to make a full and proper assessment of the development application. As a result it cannot be determined if the proposal is within the public interest or that the proposal is suitable for the subject site.
(Section 4.15 (1)(e) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act,1979).
HOW COMMUNITY VIEWS WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN MAKING THE DECISION Notification letters were issued to adjoining properties over 14 days. One submission was received.
