A development application is to include all the relevant documentation to enable an assessment of the proposal. The DA Submission Guideline (PDF 990kb) complements the HDCP in that it provides a general overview of the common submission requirements for development applications.
There are a number of State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs) that apply in Hornsby Shire and prevail over the Hornsby Local Environmental Plan 2013 (HLEP) wherever there is an inconsistency. All SEPPs in force can be viewed on the NSW Legislation website. A list of SEPPs applicable to a specific property can be obtained from Council though a Section 10.7 Planning Certificate.
