PART ONE - Campbelltown City Council - NSW Government

Planning and Environment Committee Meeting 5 April 2011 Page 702.7 Campbelltown Heritage Study And Register ReviewComment:This recommendation relates directly to the preparation of the new comprehensive LEP for theCampbelltown LGA. The new LEP will include the new standard heritage provisions provided bythe NSW Department of Planning. However, specific local heritage controls, that augment thestandard provisions, will need to be included in the Sustainable City Development Control Plan, ifsuch controls are deemed necessary. Council has recently applied for substantial funding underthe NSW Department of Planning’s LEP Acceleration Fund (LAF) to fund additional resources toassist in the preparation of the LEP. If Council’s application for funding is successful, some of thisfunding may be able to be used to appoint a specialist heritage planner to assist in thepreparation of the DCP controls. If the application for funding is not successful, the provisions inthe existing Heritage DCP should be carried over into the Sustainable City Development ControlPlan, and a further review of the controls would be undertaken when, and if, funds becameavailable.Suggested Recommendation:That Council include heritage provisions in the Sustainable City Development Control Plan toguide the conservation of heritage items and ensure that any development is appropriate for thetype of item, its heritage significance and its setting.Recommendation 4: Include relevant provisions in the City-wide DCP – developmentaffecting historic curtilagesThe Heritage Study recommends that Council’s City-wide DCP should describe the principles tobe followed in the design and siting of development to minimise the impact on the setting of anitem and its historic curtilage. In the case of subdivision or other significant development likely toaffect the curtilage of a heritage item, the DCP should require the preparation of a heritagecurtilage study that describes the impact of the proposed subdivision and any development likelyto occur as a result of this subdivision on the historic and contemporary curtilage, views andsetting of the item.Comment:This recommendation does relate directly to the preparation of the new comprehensive LEP forthe Campbelltown LGA. As stated previously, the new LEP will include the new standard heritageprovisions provided by the NSW Department of Planning, but more detailed local provisions willneed to be included in the Sustainable City Development Control Plan, if such controls aredeemed necessary.Suggested Recommendation:That Council include heritage provisions in the Sustainable City Development Control Plan thatdescribe the principles for the design and siting of development to minimise the impact on thesetting of a heritage item (or group) and its historic setting, and a requirement for a heritagecurtilage study to be provided by the applicant with any application for subdivision that is likely toaffect the curtilage of a heritage item, group or heritage conservation area.
