Explore selected complex town planning projects and development applications we have successfully navigated through Council. Each case study outlines the Council area, planning pathway and key planning issues addressed, providing a practical insight into our experience with Council approvals and complex planning matters.
Council requires a minimum of 700m² of land for a Torrens title subdivision of a dual occupancy in an R2 zone under Campbelltown City Council. The subject property comprises 655m², a shortfall of 45m². EHUP secured development approval despite this shortfall in land size.
The owner wished to retain one of the two existing dwellings on the property, demolish the other (which was dilapidated), and construct a new detached double-storey dwelling, followed by a Torrens title subdivision of the resulting dual occupancy. EHUP was engaged and secured DA approval despite several points of non-compliance with the Campbelltown Development Control Plan.
Council issued a notice to cease use of the studio as a granny flat. The owner had purchased the property under the impression that the studio could be legally rented out. EHUP was engaged and secured DA approval despite a shortfall in the required land size for a granny flat under the Campbelltown Local Environmental Plan.
The residential dwelling had been used as an Islamic community centre, hosting congregational prayer, for more than 10 years. A number of unauthorised works had also been carried out to facilitate this use, and several prior applications had been rejected by Council. EHUP was engaged and successfully regularised the use of the community centre, together with all associated unauthorised structures.
