157 Affordable housing parking spaces
(1) This section identifies a development standard for development under this chapter that, if complied with, prevents the consent authority from requiring more onerous standards for the matters.

See the Act, section 4.15(3), which does not prevent development consent being granted if a non-discretionary development standard is not complied with.
(2) Development to which section 156 applies must provide the following number of parking spaces for each affordable housing dwelling required under that section—
(a) for each dwelling containing 1 bedroom—0.4 parking space,
(b) for each dwelling containing 2 bedrooms—0.5 parking space,
(c) for each dwelling containing 3 or more bedrooms—1 parking space.
(3) This section prevails over a provision in another chapter of this policy or another environmental planning instrument to the extent that other provision permits a lower number of parking spaces for dwellings used for affordable housing on the land.
