Change of Use from Studio to Secondary Dwelling (Granny Flat)
DA approved despite a land size shortfall for a secondary dwelling
- Campbelltown
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.
Services used on this project
Secondary Dwellings / Granny Flat
A secondary dwelling, commonly called a granny flat, is a self-contained dwelling on the same lot as an existing house, supported under the Housing SEPP and often eligible for the fast complying development pathway.
Unauthorised Structures
Building work or a use that went ahead without approval can usually be brought into the system - through a building information certificate, a retrospective development application, or both.
Change of Use
A change of use application is needed when the building stays the same but what happens inside it changes - retail to cafe, warehouse to gym, office to medical suite.
