Does a site cut change my property's overall site coverage calculation?

Generally, no — site coverage is genuinely calculated based on your building’s footprint, not the earthworks beneath it, so a site cut on its own doesn’t change that figure.

What can matter is if the cut enables a larger footprint than would otherwise fit on a sloping site — worth confirming your overall design still meets coverage rules regardless of the earthworks involved.
