Site Assessment & Feasibility Review
Before commencing architectural design, it is important to understand the planning controls and site conditions that may influence a project. At Yaz Design, our Site Assessment and Feasibility Review provides a structured evaluation of the property to identify both opportunities and constraints.
This stage allows us to examine planning controls, zoning requirements, and site-specific factors that may affect the design approach, approval pathway, and development potential of the property.
By undertaking this review early in the process, clients gain a clear understanding of what may be achievable on the site before committing to full design development.
01.
Planning Control Review
We begin by reviewing the relevant planning documentation including the Planning Certificate (Section 10.7), zoning controls, and applicable planning instruments such as the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP).
This review helps identify the key development standards that apply to the site, including setbacks, building height limits, floor space ratios, and permissible land uses.
02.
Site Constraint Analysis
The property is then assessed for any physical or regulatory constraints that may influence the project.
This may include considerations such as bushfire classifications, flood planning levels, heritage considerations, Sydney Water infrastructure, easements, or other planning overlays that may impact the design.
Identifying these factors early allows us to develop an informed design strategy moving forward.
03.
Development Potential Review
Following the planning and site analysis, we assess the potential development outcomes that may be achievable on the property.
This may include evaluating opportunities for custom homes, duplex developments, secondary dwellings, or other residential configurations depending on the zoning and site conditions.
04.
Strategic Design Direction
Based on the findings of the assessment, we provide guidance on the most appropriate design approach and potential approval pathway for the project.
This stage helps establish a clear direction for the project before progressing into detailed architectural design.
05.
Site Assessment Report
The findings of the review are compiled into a structured Site Assessment Report outlining the key planning controls, site constraints, and development considerations relevant to the property.
This report provides clients with a clear and informed starting point for the design and approval process.
Understand the Potential of Your Site
Every successful project begins with a clear understanding of the site and the planning controls that apply to it. Our Site Assessment and Feasibility Review provides the information needed to make informed decisions before committing to design.
