Section 31A
Where an inconsistency exists between any building by-laws and a development plan in relation to any policies in that plan—
(a)
the development plan shall prevail over the by-laws; and
(b)
the approving authority shall apply the provisions of the building by-laws in such manner and to such extent as may be necessary to avoid the inconsistency, but so as to ensure that the standards of building soundness for the safety of the occupants and amenity achieved in respect of the development are as good as can reasonably be achieved in the circumstances.
