By Law – Councils require an up-to-date 5 year housing supply. When a Council does not have a 5 year housing supply, then their development boundaries are considered out of date, opening the door to the suitable sites outside the development boundaries that can be approved for further housing.
Here our expertise and knowledge pays’ dividends – we’ve repeatedly presented carefully considered arguments to secure planning successes. Our expertise relates not only to assessing suitable sites outside the development boundaries in situations where Councils do not have the required 5 year housing supply, but also assessing whether a Council does indeed have a 5 year housing supply.
Consequently we’ve won many appeal cases in relation to 5 year housing supply consideration for both minor and major housing developments.
