186 Considerations when deciding development applications In deciding a development application under section 185, the decision-maker must consider the following: (a) any applicable desired outcomes in the territory plan; (b) any applicable design guidance in a design guide; (c) if the territory planning authority gave pre-decision advice in relation to the application—the pre-decision advice and any response by the applicant to that advice; (d) if the site of the proposed development adjoins another zone— whether the development proposal achieves an appropriate transition between the zones;

(e) the suitability of the proposed development in the context of the site and the site surrounds, including the permissible uses for those areas; (f) the probable impact of the proposed development, including the nature, extent and significance of probable environmental impacts; (g) the interaction of the proposed development with any other adjoining or adjacent development proposals for which a development application has been submitted or development approval given; (h) any representation about the development application received by the territory planning authority and not withdrawn; (i) any advice given by an entity to which the development application was referred under section 170 (When authority must refer development application) or section 171 (Further entity referral—more information or amended application); (j) any environmental significance opinion or conditional environmental significance opinion in relation to the development proposal; (k) if the proposed development relates to land that is public land— the public land management plan for the land; (l) if the design review panel gave advice on the development proposal—the panel’s advice and the applicant’s response to the panel’s advice.
