Do I need a development application?

Yes, development work to a heritage item does require submission a Development Application unless a heritage exemption can be applied. Development work to a heritage item cannot be carried out as Exempt or Complying Development.

Refer to Part 9.1 of the Hornsby Development Control Plan (HDCP) 2013 to have a further understanding of what type of development would require development consent.
