RESOLVED on the motion of
Councillors Southwood and Roenfeldt that Council:-
1. Notes that planning controls in Part 7 of the Lane Cove Local
Environmental Plan (Part 7 LEP) and in the provisions of Part C of Council’s
Development Control Plan for Locality 8 St Leonards South Precinct (SLS DCP)
are intended to support the objectives of the St Leonards South Master Plan;
2. Notes that Part 7 LEP and the SLS DCP were approved by Council in
2020 after extensive community consultation;
3. Notes and supports the following statement by the Sydney North
Planning Panel in the Record of Briefing 6 April 2022 in respect of DA
162/2021 for 13-19 Canberra Avenue, St Leonards:-
• The
Panel understands that the subject DA is among the first few development
applications to apply the relatively recently adopted (October 2020)
precinct-specific DCP. The DCP results from comprehensive strategic planning
over a number of years, with extensive consultation and refinement, and the
Panel considers that the Lane Cove community would have the reasonable
expectation that these strategic parameters would be adhered to by applicants;
and
• The
Panel is conscious of the precedent effect any approval of variations to the
relative recently adopted DCP may have on future applications within the
precinct.
4. Affirms its support for the enforcement of the controls in Part 7
LEP and the SLS DCP in all Development Applications lodged for the St
Leonards South Precinct
