Planning Advice & Pre-Purchase Feasibility — Northern Beaches

Before you buy a property on the Northern Beaches, or before you brief a designer, a feasibility assessment tells you exactly what
can be built, on which approval pathway, and what constraints apply. It's one of the most valuable, and most overlooked steps in any
building project.

We provide expert planning and development advice for Northern Beaches properties, covering the Pittwater LEP 2014,
Warringah LEP 2011, Manly LEP 2013, Northern Beaches DCP, SEPP (Exempt and Complying) 2008, (Housing) 2021, and all applicable
State Environmental Planning Policies.

Our advice covers:

• Zoning and permissible land uses
• Height, FSR, setback, and site coverage controls
• CDC eligibility assessment
• Secondary dwelling (granny flat) potential
• Flood planning level (FPL) constraints
• Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements
• Heritage conservation area implications
• Foreshore scenic protection controls
• Recommended approval pathway and realistic timeline

We act on behalf of a Buyers agent, landowner, architect or builder when liaising with your Real estate agent, Local Council or Building Certifier on development or building matters. We also provide assistance in lodging Building Certificate applications covering "As Built" Building work through the Local Council.
