Development criteria
10   Development criteria—general
10.1 Any Development Even where the consent of the Council is not required for development, where relevant to development the criteria in Clauses 10 and 11 apply.
10.2 Access
(a)  The Council shall not consent to development which requires vehicular access unless an all-weather vehicular access road leading up to the boundary of the land on which development is to take place from outside that land is provided to a standard satisfactory to the Council. In order to prevent erosion, no such access road shall be permitted on slopes of 33% or greater.
(b)  The Council shall not consent to development which requires an on-site access road unless such a road is designed and constructed to minimise grades, to suit contours, and to be stable, taking into account the characteristics of the site and the locality, and should avoid slopes of 33% or greater.
(c)  The Council shall not consent to development for the purposes of any additional vehicular access, or if there is no vehicular access, to more than one vehicular access, to land fronting a Classified Road, nor shall any existing vehicular access be relocated without the consent of the Council.
10.3 Building Setback
(a)  The Council shall not consent to development for the purposes of a building on land adjoining a Classified Road, unless the setback of the building from the alignment or Proposed New Alignment of the Classified Road is, for a site within the:
Rural Conservation or Bushland Conservation Zone
30 metres
Other Zone
18 metres
Protected Area—Land Between Towns (except dwelling house)
100 metres
(b)  Variation
The Council may reduce the building setback where it is satisfied that:
(i)  the exceptional physical characteristics of the site make it necessary to do so, and
(ii)  no traffic hazard, ribbon development or adverse visual impact will, or is likely to, occur.
10.4 Design and Character
(a)  The Council shall not consent to development for the purposes of a building in the Rural Conservation or Bushland Conservation zone unless it is to be below the skyline when viewed from a public place or unless the Council is satisfied that no alternative location for the building is available on the lot.
(b)  The Council shall not consent to development for the purposes of a building unless the building form, its sitting, the colours of the exterior surface of the building, its landscaping and the building materials used are appropriate for the characteristics of the site and the locality, and consistent with any Environmental Design and Management Guidelines for the building or its site.
(c)  The Council shall not consent to development unless landscaping is to be retained or provided to the Council’s satisfaction so as to reduce its visual impact, particularly when viewed from a public place. In the Rural Conservation and Bushland Conservation zone where landscaping is to be provided species characteristic of the locality shall be used.
(d)  The Council shall not consent to development on land adjacent to land within the Regional Open Space zone, unless it has had particular regard to the impact of that development on the aesthetic, historical, natural and scientific attributes of the land within the Regional Open Space zone.
10.5 Environmental Impact
(a)  The Council shall not consent to development unless the development:
(i)  incorporates measures specified in accordance with any Development Control Plan that shows requirements for erosion and sedimentation control, and
(ii)  avoids unnecessary clearing of indigenous plants, and
(iii)  minimises site disturbance and soil erosion, and
(iv)  where the development is for the purposes of a dwelling, minimises “cut” or “fill” or both as far as is practical and contains such “cut” or “fill” or both within the dwelling where conditions allow, and
(v)  incorporates best practice water management techniques to protect the surface and groundwater regimes and water quality for the site.
(b)  Where land on which development is proposed has been cleared, the Council shall not consent to development unless it is to take place as far as is practicable within the cleared area.
(c)  The Council shall not consent to subdivision, unless the bushfire protection measures required to protect the land to be subdivided are contained within a perimeter road or the boundaries of the property to be subdivided, and do not have any adverse environmental impact on any water supply catchment area or any development excluded land.
(ca)  The Council shall not consent to development, other than subdivision, unless the development:
(i)  incorporates effective measures, within the boundaries of the lot concerned, and satisfactory to the Council, to protect the development from bushfire, and
(ii)  mitigates the adverse environmental impacts of those measures to the maximum extent practicable.
(d)    (Repealed)
(da)  The Council shall not consent to development for the purpose of a dwelling house, or to development ordinarily incidental and ancillary to a dwelling house, on any lot created otherwise than in accordance with clause 34.1 (c), unless the development incorporates effective measures, satisfactory to the Council, to ensure that the development has no significant adverse environmental impact on:
(i)  any environmentally sensitive vegetation unit (as listed in Schedule 3), and
(ii)  any rare or threatened species of flora or fauna or its habitat and any unusual plant community, and
(iii)  the hydrological aspect of the locality, and
(iv)  any, lake, lagoon, or perennial or non-perennial watercourse, and
(v)  any significant natural feature, including rock outcrops, rock ledges and cliffs.
(db)  The Council shall not consent to development, other than development referred to in clause 10.5 (da), on any lot created otherwise than in accordance with clause 34.1 (c), unless the development incorporates effective measures, satisfactory to the Council, to ensure that the development has no adverse environmental impact on any development excluded land.
(dc)  The Council shall not consent to any development (excluding a work for the purpose of providing public utility services), proposed to take place either wholly or partly on development excluded land:
(i)  located within any lot created in accordance with clause 34.1 (c), and

Schedule 3 Environmentally sensitive vegetation units
Note—
This Schedule refers to Clause 10.
1   
Environmentally sensitive vegetation units, for the purposes of this plan, consist of the following naturally occurring plant communities in the Blue Mountains City Council area. The names of the plant communities are taken to have the same meanings as in the scientific structural formation classification table by R. L. Specht, et al, (1974) included at the end of this Schedule. Names in common usage have been provided in brackets for greater ease of identification.
(a)  Closed Sedgeland (Hanging Swamps, Sedge Swamps)
These occur in either seasonally-moist or water saturated situations. The plant community in usually, but not exclusively, dominated in terms of overall biomass and height by associations of the following species:
Gymnoschoenus sphaerocephalus:
Tussock Sedge or Button Grass
Ptilanthelium deustum:
a sedge
Schoenus villosus:
a sedge
Lepidosperma spp:
a sedge
Xyris gracilis spp. gracilis:
a sedge
Gleichenia dicarpa:
Coral fern
(b)  Closed Heath, Open Heath (Hanging Swamps, Shrub Swamps)
These occur in either seasonally-moist or water saturated situations. The plant community is usually, but not exclusively, dominated in terms of overall biomass and height by associations of the following shrub species:
Leptospermum lanigerum:
Woolly Tea-tree
Leptospermum juniperinum:
Prickly Tea-tree
Grevillea acanthifolia:
Swamp Grevillea
Hakea teretofolia:
Needle Hakea
Banksia ericifolia:
Heath-leaved Banksia
Sprengelia incarnata:
Pink Swamp Heath
Acacia ptychoclada:
a Wattle
Callistemon citrinus:
Crimson Bottlebrush
Gleichenia dicarpa:
Coral fern
(c)  Closed Heath, Open Heath (Heath)
These occur in dry ridge situations which are commonly exposed to high velocity winds, and/or in locations of relatively shallow soil. The plant community is usually, but not exclusively, dominated in terms of overall biomass and height by associations of the following shrub species:
Allocasuarina distyla:
a She-oak
Allocasuarina nana:
a Dwarf She-oak
Banksia ericifolia:
Heath-leaved Banksia
Hakea dactyloides:
Finger Hakea
Hakea teretifolia:
Needle Hakea
Kunzea capitata:
Pink Kunzea
Eucalyptus stricta:
Blue Mountains Mallee Ash
Epacris microphylla:
Coral Heath
Petrophile pulchella:
Conesticks
Lambertia formosa:
Mountain Devil
Banksia serrata:
Old Man Banksia
(d)  Closed Forests, Tall Closed Forests (Rainforests, Warm Temperate Rainforests)
These occur in moist locations that are well-sheltered from drying winds and excessive sunlight. The plant community is usually dominated in terms of overall biomass and height by associations of the following tree species:
Ceratopetalum apetalum:
Coachwood
Doryphora sassafras:
Sassafras
Acacia elata:
Mountain Cedar Wattle
Acmena smithii:
Lilly Pilly
Quintinia seiberi:
Possumwood
(e)  Open Forest, Tall Open Forest (Alluvial Forests)
These vegetation units occur along certain streams and on deep, fertile soils in moist, sheltered sites at lower and middle altitudes in the Blue Mountains where the plant community is dominated, in terms of overall biomass and height, by Eucalyptus Deanei (Mountain Blue Gum).
(f)  Low Open-forest, Closed Scrub, Open Scrub (Alluvial Swamps)
Melaleuca linariifolia
Melaleuca linariifolia low open-forest is the name applied to a vegetation community found on sandy alluvial soils along certain creeks in the lower Blue Mountains, in which the vegetation is dominated by the low paperbark tree, Melaleuca linariifolia (Snow-in-summer). It is a type of creekline vegetation that is associated with creeks on deep alluvial sand deposits, rather than the sandstone substrates more typical of Blue Mountains creeks. The typical vegetation structure is a narrow band of low open-forest or low closed-forest along the creek. Occasional emergent Eucalyptus or Angophora trees may be present above the Melaleuca canopy.
Melaleuca linariifolia low open-forest is significant because of its rarity in the Blue Mountains and because, as creekline vegetation, it plays an important role in preventing erosion of the stream banks and protecting water quality.
Melaleuca linariifolia low open-forest is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation.
Acacia longifolia
Hydrocotyle peduncularis
Acacia rubida
Hypolepis muelleri
Adiantum aethiopicum
Imperata cylindrica
Blechnum nudum
Isolepis inundata
Blechnum wattsii
Juncus continuus
Callicoma serratifolia
Juncus planifolius
Callistemon citrinus
Juncus usitatus
Calochlaena dubia
Kennedia rubicunda
Cyathea australis
Leptospermum polygalifolium
Cyperus polystachyos
Melaleuca linariifolia
Eleocharis sphacelata
Microlaena stipoides
Entolasia marginata
Pittosporum undulatum
Entolasia stricta
Pteridium esculentum
Gahnia clarkei
Schoenus melanostachys
Gleichenia dicarpa
Typha orientalis
(g)  Bench Woodland
Eucalyptus sclerophylla
Eucalyptus sclerophylla bench woodland is the name applied to a vegetation community that occurs on sandy alluvial benches along certain creek systems in the lower Blue Mountains. These communities may also occur on higher benches on a mix of alluvial and colluvial soils. Eucalyptus sclerophylla (Hard-leaved Scribbly Gum) is the dominant tree species or co-dominant with Angophora bakeri (Narrow-leaved Apple). The typical vegetation structure is woodland, although this may vary depending on the site conditions and history. The association between this community and alluvial or colluvial soils is a critical feature in its definition, since E. sclerophylla is also the dominant tree species in another, more common, vegetation community, with a different understorey, that occurs on north-or west-facing slopes on sandstone geology in the middle and upper Blue Mountains. The E. sclerophylla trees in the latter community tend to be smaller than those in the E. sclerophylla bench woodland.
Eucalyptus sclerophylla bench woodland is characterised by the following assemblage of native plant species. Other species also occur, and not all of the following species are present in every stand of the community, but the list is indicative of the species composition of the vegetation.
Acacia brownii
Imperata cylindrica
Acacia rubida
Isopogon anemonifolius
Acacia ulicifolia
Lambertia formosa
Angophora bakeri
Lepidosperma laterale
Aristida benthami
Leptospermum arachnoides
Aristida vagans

*  Isolated trees (emergents) may project from the canopy of some communities. In some closed-forests, emergent Araucaria, Acacia, or Eucalyptus species may be so frequent that the resultant structural form may be classified better as an open-forest.
+  Some ecologists prefer to ignore scattered trees and shrubs, equivalent to emergents in a predominantly grassland, heath, or shrubland formation.
#  A tree, for the purposes of this Schedule, is defined as a woody plant more than 5 m tall, usually with a single stem. A shrub is a woody plant less than 8 m tall, frequently with many stems arising at or near the base.
@  Appropriate names for the community will depend on the nature of the predominant herb.
