Importance Of Third Party Notice And Review Rights

In 1969, Massachusetts fashioned the law 40B, famously referred to as the “Anti-Snob Zoning Act”, which allows developers to bypass land use restrictions in towns where less than ten percent of the housing meets the state definition of affordable. There are multiple positions and solutions to friction in Massachusetts largely inspired by controversy surrounding the State's affordable housing law, Massachusetts General Laws chapter 40B between housing advocates and open space advocates. This thesis reviews and critiques the current law, and diagnoses various legislative proposals for the progressive feud.

4. Land and building requirement delays: Passing of inspection and regulated requirements that often developmental planning and permissions are delayed.

It is felt that this estate would benefit if a working group was set up to develop a neighbourhood action plan. This group could consist of partners such as the police, the health authorities and local council to examine the best way to tackle the issues faced by this area and to adopt an approach of neighbourhood planning in conjunction with local residents.

Planning tools may need to be adapted and terminology often needs to be changed so that it can be understood by the person. It is essential that the person’s preferred ways of communicating are taken into account so that they can play a full part in the planning process

Given the complexity of towns and cities, it is interesting to compare NSW legislation and planning instruments to other states within Australia, to discover ways to perhaps further improve the SILEP in NSW. This report will aim to help evaluate the implementation of the LEP Standard Instrument in comparison to other approaches to local plan making in Australia. The first section will look at the NSW local planning scheme for Leichhardt LGA. The second section the Victorian local planning scheme for Melbourne LGA as a comparison.

First, rezoning action is quasi-judicial in nature, subject to strict scrutiny on certiorari review. Second, a landowner who demonstrates that proposed use of the property is consistent with comprehensive plan is not presumptively entitled to such use. Third, a landowner seeking to rezone a property has burden of proving that proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and consequently burden shifts to the zoning board to demonstrate legitimate public purpose of maintaining existing zoning classification. Finally, the board is not

Primarily, as a building surveyor the main goal is to help create, look after, care and improve buildings and structures by promoting the development of energy efficient buildings, ensuring buildings and structures are safe and accessible and meet all building legal requirements. All of this is achieved by doing all relevant tasks in relation to the work at hand in an effective manner. The job requires one to go to different locations to inspect and examine the land or any building structure present, to approve or disallow further development of any building or structure based on all the legal requirements. They collect measurements and provide boundaries for the design and all the size and placement of the structure to make sure it is accurate. Advise and solutions are given on buildings and structures that can be improved or have errors in them already, as well as providing an estimate of how much it would cost to make or refurbish. Building surveying also can involve drawing and designing plans and incorporating the design ideas to estimate how much the development would cost. As part of the job, it is a must for a building surveyor to go through all legal matters and regulations. one example of what a building surveyor does is working along the railway lines. As evident, when travelling currently along the south eastern Cranbourne/Pakenham line. With the current project going on, removing level crossings in Melbourne’s south east. Creating new underground or alternatively sky rails for a reduced level of traffic jams on the roads. The role of a building surveyor in this instance involves stages in planning, development and construction to make sure all the rails, stations and all other structures are measured and placed accurately and

The appellant, Parkview Queensland Pty Ltd (“Parkview”), is a building contractor who commenced construction of a residential property development under a standard form building contract with Fortia funds Management Ltd (“Fortia”), the developer. Fortia financed the construction under a loan facility with the Bank of Western Australia Ltd (“BankWest”).

There is emphasis on the responsibility that planners must serve the interest of the public through techniques that inform and structure debates and foster understanding (OPPI, n.d.). Members should respect the diversity of needs and values of the public while providing clear and accurate information on planning matters. These sections also cover the consequences on the natural and built environment. Through the planner’s action it is evident that he has neglected the interest of the public and has put the values of the developer first by presenting limited information. The planner did not foster understanding by providing clear and accurate information. Instead the information provided was vague and was not accurately represented since affects were not covered adequately in terms of the long-term consequences. Section 2.7 to 2.9 in the CIP addresses the fact that planners are responsible for disclosing full information when possible conflict of interest arise (OPPI, n.d.). In this case the developer and their proposed development and the public and the adjacent environmentally sensitive area created a conflict of interest. the conflict of interest was that the developer wanted to develop a community that aligns with their proposed plan whereas existing residents wanted to change the proposed plan to protect the forest. Since a conflict of interest arose the planner was responsible for

Although Mr. Carr’s property does meet the criteria of Section 546 (0.1) in the Act of his property being “detrimental to the surrounding area” and causing decline in local property value and showing serious signs of disregard for maintenance and upkeep (Municipal Government Act Section 546, Pg. 289), the towns action were not lawful.

The Sandon Point was considered a potential State Significant site under the State Environment Planning Policy (Major Development) 2005. In April 2006, the Minister authorised Stockland and Anglican Retirement Villages to submit a concept plan for the development of Sandon Point, Wollongong. The concept plan was approved in December 2006. In November 2007 the Minister’s approval was challenged in Walker v Minister for Planning [2007] NSWLEC 741, 174 LGERA 127 due to the Minister’s failure to take in to consideration the principles of ecological sustainability, specifically, climate change and flooding. The Court of Appeal found the Minister guilty of failing to consider public interest in the concept planning stages and made it mandatory to be considered in the development approval stage.

This suggests that there should be a change in Australian housing policies to focus on taxes, land supply and land-use planning policy.

Another requirement is a full written account, which includes a detailed development of the proposed development of the building, a justification of the change of use on the building, and a compliance agreement with the City of Cockburn TPS 3, Residential Design Codes,

These 8 propositions provide a basis from, which to explore the ramification of public participation, both as a concept and as a decision-making technique. The need of public participation in planning is more clearly expressed by Bolan (1967), “No matter how we improve our substantive knowledge of how cities function, and no matter how we improve our capabilities in information handling, operations research, and prediction, if there is not a corollary development of community’s capacity for improved decision-making within the framework of democratic process, there is the real possibility that heavy investment in the current forms of city planning techniques will have been in vain.”
