What the government's new Planning reforms will permit as a right

The sketch above shows what Planning Directive 4.1 would actually mean. It shows the proposed permitted building envelope (red dashed line) for Medium Density Housing. In the inner City Zone, the permitted height allowance is proposed to be 9.5 metres high; and in the Residential Zone, it is 8.5 metres high. This planning directive could result in automatic development approval for buildings of three storeys - or four if you excavate for parking.
