27C   Determination of development applications

(1)  The Council must not grant consent for development of any land within Green Square unless:

(a)  there is a masterplan adopted by the Council for the development site comprising that land or within which that land is situated, and

(b)  the development is consistent with the masterplan.

(2)  The Council may waive the requirement for a masterplan because of the minor nature of the development concerned, the adequacy of other planning controls that apply to the proposed development, or for such other reasons as the Council considers sufficient.

(3)  If:

(a)  the Council has waived the requirement for the masterplan under subclause (2), or

(b)  a draft masterplan for the development site has been submitted to the Council for adoption, and that draft masterplan:

(i)  has not been adopted by the Council before or within 60 days after the date on which the development application was lodged, or

(ii)  has been rejected by the Council,

      then subclause (1) does not apply, but when the Council assesses the development application it must have regard to the criteria in clause 27D (4) (a)–(m).
