Departures from the numerical controls in the Rules of the Single Residential Housing Development Code will only be considered in relation to building envelope controls, the minimum dimension for private open space and setbacks for proposed development on residential land.  The Planning and Land Authority may only approve a minor departure/s where no-one other than the applicant will be adversely affected by the departure and the environmental impact caused by the approval of the departure will do no more than minimally increase the environmental impact of the development.
