With the national growth focus and upcoming planning changes from government, this is a good time for landowners to get involved in submitting land for potential allocation either in East Herts specifically or across the country.

In today's #IndustryNews: "Gove consults on strengthening brownfield development" The UK government is launching new measures to prioritise the development of brownfield sites for housing, aiming to streamline planning processes and encourage more construction on previously developed land. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is proposing a "brownfield presumption" to make it easier to obtain permission for building on brownfield sites, particularly in England's largest cities and towns where housing demand is high.

TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY DEVELOPMENT NEWS A handful of land use amendments have been approved for the Fernridge Neighbourhood Plan in Brookswood. A few months back when the Fernridge, Booth and Rinn neighbourhoods went to council for approval, there were still a handful of unresolved land use conversations on-going with unsatisfied property owners. It was decided at that time that those conversations would be handled via future amendments to the plan rather than deferring the plan back to staff which would have necessitated yet another public hearing. These amendments, approved at the November 18th council meeting, is that follow-up. The primary change is an increase to the density given to the 56 acres along and around Fernridge Crescent (pictured below). The properties were originally designated for minimum 1 acre lots and are now minimum 10,000 square foot lots.

Can I build a house on my rural property? We often get asked about building dwellings on rural properties and the answer is not always straight forward!   Every council has different rules that apply to rural dwellings. In NSW and Victoria, Councils set a minimum lot size that is required for the construction of a dwelling on rural zoned land. This can range from 20ha in some Council areas up to 500ha (or even more!). In certain, specific instances it may be possible to construct a dwelling on a rural lot that is smaller than the minimum lot size prescribed by the Council taking into account factors such as: -         the date the lot was created -         whether there is an existing dwelling on the land -         the agricultural purpose for which the land will be used. If you are looking at purchasing a rural property with intentions of constructing a home on the land, it is important to investigate the rules and regulations of the particular Council before you purchase. This is where we come in! We can assess what’s possible and guide you through the application process to turn that dream into a reality. If you have been wondering where to start, we’re here to help!
