(b) the development involves extensions to an existing building that would occupy more than 10 per cent of its existing area, or
(c) the development involves intensification, by more than 10 per cent, of the use of the land or any building on the land, or
(d) the location of the development has not been specified in the plan of management applying to the land and the development is likely, in the opinion of the council, to be unduly intrusive to nearby residents.

(a) toilet facilities,
(b) small refreshment kiosks,

"existing area" referred to in subsection (1)(b) does not include the area of any awning, balcony, verandah or other thing that extends beyond the main structural outline of the building.
