42 Site analysis plan

(1) The consent authority may decline to grant consent to development, excluding development comprised of minor additions, unless it has considered a site analysis plan, which should be included as part of the statement of environmental effects.

(2) The site analysis plan must—

(a) include such information specified in clause 43 (Contents of site analysis plan) as is relevant, in the opinion of the consent authority, to enable the full consideration of the environmental impacts of the proposed development, and

(b) be accompanied by a written statement explaining how the design and location of the proposed development has had regard to the objectives in clause 41 and to the site analysis.

(3) The components of a site analysis plan may be supplemented by further assessments and plans, as specified elsewhere in this Part.

Note—

Assessments and plans required by clauses within this Part should include all details necessary to show that the development complies with the relevant objectives and provisions within this Part. Where a number of clauses apply and require a site analysis plan, detailed environmental assessments and other environmental studies, these requirements may be met by a single consolidated environmental study. This is to remove the need for repetition where multiple environmental constraints would otherwise result in a number of environmental studies being required.
