Planning permissions specified by the council are based on decisions in line with the government’s local, regional, state and federal planning guidelines and regulations. Business premises development or renovation is subject to planning permissions which are mandated by the planning services and shouldered by the council. The planning services of the council, also known as Unitary Development Plan, set the guidelines for planning permissions for the development proposals of new business premises.
Certain criteria will be taken into consideration when reviewed by the council before giving planning permissions when building new premises. The new premises to be built must be subjected to details in regard to its size, layout, external appearance of buildings, number, scale, proposed means of entry, impact on the neighbourhood, landscaping, infrastructure availability such as supply of water and roads, how the proposed development should be used, how it will affect the locality, nature and planned use of the new premises. Sometimes the council may make impractical judgements or decisions with the restrictions of building a new premises when the complexity of the structure and solutions are not organised.
Access Statements are provided upon depositing the plans to assist the planning services or the building control federation to achieve a decision about whether stipulations which are considered for the proposed plan are provided and detailed and achieved. Once all the prerequisites are achieved, the planning services issue the planning permission. A licensed building inspector is available to check and analyse the details of the proposed planned project.
