development standard imposed by this or any other environmental planning
instrument. However, this clause does not apply to a development standard that
is expressly excluded from the operation of this clause.
(3)
Development consent must not be granted for
development that contravenes a development standard unless the consent
authority has considered a written request from the applicant that seeks to
justify the contravention of the development standard by

been obtained.
(5)
In deciding whether to grant concurrence, the
Planning Secretary must consider—
(a)
whether contravention of the development standard
raises any matter of significance for State or regional environmental
planning, and
(b)
the public benefit of maintaining the development
standard, and
(c)
any other matters required to be taken into
consideration by the Planning Secretary before granting
concurrence.

Development consent must not be granted under
this clause for a subdivision of land in Zone RU1 Primary Production, Zone RU2
Rural Landscape, Zone RU3 Forestry, Zone RU4 Primary Production Small Lots,
Zone RU6 Transition, Zone R5 Large Lot Residential, Zone C2 Environmental
Conservation, Zone C3 Environmental Management or Zone C4 Environmental Living
if—
(a)
the subdivision will result in 2 or more lots of
less than the minimum area specified for such lots by a development standard,
or
(b)
the subdivision will result in at least one lot
that is less than 90% of the minimum area specified for such a lot by a
development standard.
Note—
When this Plan was made, it did not include Zone
RU3 Forestry or Zone RU6 Transition.

development,

certificate for a building to which State

2004 applies or for the land on which such a building is
situated,
