Where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use, height and the area of structures or the use of premises than is imposed by other bylaws, the provisions of this chapter shall control. The invalidity of any section or provision of this chapter shall not invalidate any other section or provision hereof.

Departments responsible for administering this chapter (including the Planning Board, the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Select Board and the Building Inspector/Zoning Enforcement Officer) have the right to disallow any feature of a plan or any design or construction technique if, in the opinion of that administering authority, the sole or primary reason for its use is to circumvent the intent of the chapter.
