(b) an allotment with an area of less than 40 hectares where the land is the whole of an allotment consented to by the Council on or after 7 January 1966, or

(c) an allotment of land with an area of less than 40 hectares where the land is an allotment created prior to 7 January 1966 and comprises the whole of an existing holding, or

(d) an allotment of land with an area of less than 40 hectares where the land is an allotment created prior to 7 January 1966 which has an area of not less than 10 hectares and was owned at 17 December 1980 by a person who at that date did not own any lot, portion or parcel of land adjoining or adjacent to the allotment, or

(e) an allotment which already contains a dwelling-house where the proposed dwelling-house is intended to wholly replace an existing dwelling-house.

(3) Additional dwelling-houses may be erected with the consent of the Council on land with an area greater than 40 hectares where the dwelling-houses are to be used by a person or persons engaged in activities permissible on the land and for which consent has been given, if required by this plan.
