Policy 52 Replacement Residential Dwellings in the Green Belt

Where a building is in residential use in the Green Belt or on Metropolitan Open Land (MOL), the Council will permit its replacement by a new dwelling providing that:

  • The resultant dwelling (including garaging and any accommodation below ground) does not result in a material net increase in floor area compared with the existing dwelling as ascertained by external measurement; and
  • The size, siting, materials and design of the replacement dwelling and of any associated works (such as boundary fences or walls) does not harm visual amenities or the open or rural character of the locality.
