How are easements, utilities and stormwater infrastructure considered during a planning assessment?
Easements, utilities, and stormwater infrastructure are considered during planning assessment to ensure development protects existing infrastructure, maintains access rights, and meets servicing and stormwater management requirements. Easements identify areas where land may be used by others for specific purposes, such as access to utility services.
Easements, utilities, and stormwater infrastructure are checked during planning assessment to make sure a new development does not block access, damage essential services, or cause drainage problems. Easements show areas of land that must remain available for specific uses, such as utility maintenance or access. Developers must consider these areas when designing a proposal.
