Risks of not using a Town Planner for your Development Application in Sydney?
We know that after 27 years of experience, the most streamlined and efficient path to approval is to enlist the services of an experienced Town Planner. By doing this they will ensure all the documentation is submitted correctly and improve the likelihood of receiving an approval for your project. However, sometimes people choose to go it alone and not use a Town Planner. There are many risks associated with doing this and these include:- Wasting Money: We have heard of people submitting their own Development Application with documents missing and incorrect information. Councils often receive plans for approval that are not even compliant with the planning legislation. This requires them to start from scratch and waste considerable amounts of money in the process.
- Inefficient Land Use: Without a Town Planner, you may not be able to understand potential development opportunities, which could increase your investment returns. A development project should always consider the highest and best use for the land.
- Wasting Time: Not understanding regulatory requirements could prompt further enquiries from the council, adding months to your timelines and delaying the start of your project.
- Refusal: Sometimes, submissions receive objections or a refusal from Council. This can be extremely upsetting for people. By using a Town Planner, you will ensure you are submitting an application that is thorough and complete, ultimately improving approval outcomes and giving you a better chance of success.
