One approval varies development standards

Only one Peninsula development application was approved by the Central Coast Council between July and September with a variation to development standards.

A review of Council's records has identified that there were 13 DAs approved within the July to September quarter which sought variation to a development standard.

Of those, six were in the former Wyong Local Government Area and required variations to the Wyong Local Environment Plan 2013.

Five DAs required variations to the Gosford Local Environment Plan 2014 and one involved a variation to Interim Development Order 122 which applies to some land within the former Gosford Local Government Area.

The Peninsula development application was for residential alterations and additions at 268 Burge Rd, Woy Woy, which required a four per cent variation to Clause 4.3 of the GLEP for Maximum Building Height.

According to a report from the Environment and Planning Department of the Central Coast Council: "The variation is considered minor and occurs along a short section of the roof ridge in the middle of the site.

"Consequently there is no significant impact on adjoining properties and the variation is considered reasonable," the report said.
