Reply To: Licence for Jetty
Hi Lee
I believe what you have done is correct. Its a separate valuation that cant be used for residential accommodation its a jetty.
Its not vacant, its a jetty so 516 1(b) vacant land doesn’t apply.
Unfortunately business, your hands are tied based on the way the lease has been constructed.
You could always ask for further information as per 525(4)(4)
If the council has reasonable grounds for believing that the land is not within the nominated category, it may notify the applicant of any further information it requires in order to be satisfied that the land is within that category. After considering any such information, the council must declare the category for the land.
Have you tried this or is this the stage you’re at? Make them show why they believe it complies with 516. Hopefully this may lead them to their own conclusion that its not residential.
Hope this helps
