When a proposal does not meet every deemed-to-comply requirement of the R-Codes or local planning policy, the local government needs to see why it should still be approved. A planning justification letter sets out that case clearly and concisely.
Which requirements are not met and by how much. How the proposal meets the relevant design principles. The effect on neighbours, the street and the property itself. Any supporting context, such as lot shape, orientation or existing development.
Builders and designers lodging an application with one or more variations. Owners who have received a request for further information or a notice of objection. Applications that have stalled because the reasons for a variation were not clearly explained.
Send through the plans and any correspondence from the local government to find out what is needed.
