(1) Nothing in this plan prevents the Council from granting consent to the use for any purpose of a building that is a heritage item or of the land on which that building is erected, if the Council is satisfied that:

(a) the use would have little or no adverse effect on the amenity of the area, and

(b) conservation of the building would be assisted by the granting of consent as referred to in this subclause.

(2) The Council, when considering an application to erect a building on land on which there is a building which is a heritage item, may exclude from its calculation of the gross floor area of the buildings erected on the land the gross floor area of the heritage item:

(a) for the purpose of determining the floor space ratio, and

(b) for the purpose of determining the number of parking spaces to be provided on the site,

but only if the Council is satisfied that the conservation of the building which is a heritage item would be assisted by the Council granting consent as referred to in this subclause.
