Every lot in Sydney sits under its own LEP, its council's DCP, the state policies that sit over both, and a contributions plan. None of them were written for the person paying for the work. UpVal reads them for your address and returns what applies, with the clause it came from.
Start a projectEach one governs something different, and they do not always agree. Reading one and not the others is how a project gets designed on the wrong basis and priced on the wrong assumption.
Read together, for one lot.
Every value comes back with the instrument and clause it came from, so any line can be checked against the source.
Height and floor space ratio are not in the text of your LEP. They are on a map sheet keyed to your lot, which is why reading the document will never tell you your own numbers. UpVal resolves them at the address.
Every value carries the clause it came from.
Two identical extensions on two streets sit on different pathways when one lot is in a heritage conservation area and the other is not. UpVal tests your scope against your controls and shows which tests it clears.
No approval needed.
A certifier can approve it against the Codes SEPP, without going to council.
Council assesses it on merit, and you already know which controls will be discussed.
Clause 4.6 variation. Where a scope exceeds a development standard, the request has to show that compliance is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances, and that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify it. Knowing that before you pay for drawings is the point.
LEP, DCP, SEPP and contributions, read for one lot.
UpVal is a first-pass feasibility layer. Councils, certifiers and planners make the approval decision, and the readout is what makes that conversation efficient.
