How to analyse it

A redevelopment involving no marketing or new allotment may fall within the repair/redevelopment exclusion; adding sale inventory can change the position.
What can go wrong?
- Assuming small phase is exempt because whole project is large
- Using completion certificate issued after commencement as prior completion
- Advertising before registration
Evidence pack
- Land and phase plan
- Sanctions and completion status
- Inventory statement
- State-rule applicability memo
