Writing a Statement of Environmental Effects for a NSW residential development application comes down to six steps. First, gather your 10.7 certificate, your LEP, DCP and plans. Then describe the site as it is today, and describe exactly what you're building with real numbers. Next, address each planning control: state the standard, state your proposal, and be honest about any non-compliance.

Get all six right and your council can assess it first time. Generate yours in minutes at instantSEE.
