DEVELOPING IN MOSMAN
Development in Mosman is influenced by a combination of local planning controls, heritage considerations, established neighbourhood character and the area’s distinctive harbour setting.
Mosman’s established urban environment means development often requires careful consideration of building height and scale, views and view sharing, privacy, landscaping, heritage significance and the relationship between new development and surrounding properties. Understanding how these considerations interact with Mosman Council’s planning controls is often critical to preparing a well-designed and successful Development Application.
Some of the issues we regularly consider include:
