32 Heritage conservation incentives

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

(a) the proposed use would have little or no adverse effect on the heritage significance of the heritage item or of any heritage item group of which the item is part and on the amenity of the neighbouring area, and

(b) the conservation of the building will be achieved by the Council granting that consent.

(2) When considering an application for consent to erect a building on land on which there is situated a building which is a heritage item, the Council may:

(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,

exclude from its calculation of the gross floor area of the buildings erected on the land the gross floor area of the heritage item, but only if the Council is satisfied that the conservation of the heritage item and of any heritage item group of which the item is part will be achieved by the Council granting the exclusion.
