ABOUT THE TOD PLANNING FRAMEWORK
9. What is a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) area?
A TOD area is land located within 400 metres of a public transport hub, such as a train station. These areas are identified by the NSW Government as suitable for higher-density housing due to their proximity to transport, jobs, and services.
10. Is this site within a TOD area?
Yes. The site is located within 300 metres of Lindfield Train Station and is classified as a Tier 2 TOD under Chapter 5 of the NSW Housing SEPP.
11. What is the Housing SEPP?
The Housing SEPP (State Environmental Planning Policy) is a NSW Government policy that provides consistent planning rules for housing delivery across the State, including provisions for affordable housing and transit-oriented development.
12. Why are higher buildings and densities allowed in TOD areas?
To support housing supply near transport, the Housing SEPP allows for increased height and floor space in TOD areas when a development includes affordable housing. This encourages more diverse and accessible housing options in well-connected locations.
13. What affordable housing obligations apply in TOD areas?
In TOD areas, developments must dedicate at least 2% of total floor area to affordable housing in perpetuity, in addition to any affordable housing provided under other SEPP provisions.
14. Will this project comply with the TOD rules?
Yes. The proposal has been designed to comply with the TOD planning controls under the Housing SEPP, including height, floor space, and affordable housing requirements.
