GUIDE TO PART D - RULES AND STANDARDS

1. Determining Whether An Activity Needs A Resource Consent

(A) Zoning

There is a need to determine the zoning of the land based on the location of land within the District Plan maps. The Planning Maps are an integral part of the Plan and should be read in conjunction with the Objectives, Policies and Rules of the Plan. There are eight zones, comprising Residential, Rural, Commercial/Retail, Paraparaumu Town Centre, Industrial/Service, Open Space, River Corridor and Conservation Zones. There are three precinct areas comprising the Waikanae Garden Area and Ferndale Area within the Residential Zone and the Tourist Activity Area within the Rural Zone.

(B) Type of Land Use Activity

Once the zoning is determined, the proposed activity will need to be assessed in order to determine whether a resource consent is required.

There are five types of activity listed in the rules section of this Plan. These are PERMITTED, CONTROLLED, DISCRETIONARY, NON-COMPLYING AND PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. The following determines the type of activity in the rules of this Plan.

A permitted activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a permitted activity and which complies with all the permitted activity standards or any activity not listed as any other activity and which complies with all the permitted activity standards.

If the activity meets all performance standards, there is no need for a resource consent. The activity is permitted as of right.

A controlled activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a controlled activity and which complies with the permitted activity standards but which involves Council specifying matters over which it reserves control.

Amended

change 67 20/8/07



A resource consent is required for a controlled activity but generally need not be publicly notified (refer Part F of the Plan). Unless there are special circumstances, an application for resource consent for a controlled activity must be approved subject to the Council exercising control over the matters specified in the Plan.

A discretionary activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a discretionary activity and which complies with all of the discretionary activity standards or any activity which does not comply with any one or more of the permitted or controlled activity standards and is not otherwise listed as a non-complying activity.

A discretionary activity requires an application for a resource consent which may or may not be publicly notified and which may or may not be approved. The matters to be taken into account when deciding on an application are outlined in Section 104 and 104B of the Resource Management Act 1991. The matters to be taken into account when determining whether an application is to be publicly notified are outlined in Section 94 of the Act (refer Part F of the Plan).

A non-complying activity is any activity which is listed in the rules as a non-complying activity or which contravenes any one or more of the discretionary activity standards.

A non-complying activity also requires a resource consent which may or may not be approved. When considering an application, the Council must be satisfied that the criteria or ‘tests’ set out in Section 104D of the Resource Management Act 1991 are met before it can exercise any judgement in terms of the matters outlined in Section 104 of the Act. If these criteria are not met then the application must be refused. If they are, then the Council has the discretion to approve or refuse the application in terms of the matters under Section 104B of the Act.

The matters to be taken into account when determining whether an application is to be publicly notified are outlined in Sections 94, 94A, 94B, 94C, 94D and 95 of the Act. However, in general applications will be publicly notified (refer Part F of the Plan).

A prohibited activity is any activity listed in the rules as a prohibited activity.

Prohibited activities can not be approved by Council under ANY circumstances. The Act does not allow consideration of resource consent applications for prohibited activities.



Note: Amendments to the Resource Management Act 1991 which came into effect on 1 August 2003 have been incorporated into the above advice notes.

2. Assessment Criteria

Council will, in addition to considering compliance with the objectives and policies of this Plan, have regard to, but not be limited to, the following when determining whether to approve a resource consent and what conditions will be imposed:

A. Regarding Discretionary Activities

The matters set out in section 104 of the Resource Management Act 1991;

The provisions made for complying with the Permitted and Discretionary Activity standards;

The impact of the proposal on the natural and physical environment;

The design and external appearance of any structure and the visual impact of the proposal on the landscape;

The impact of the proposal on Maori ancestral lands, water, sites, waahi tapu and other taonga;

The scale of the proposed development and the impact on the character of the locality;

The regard given to the avoidance or mitigation of natural hazards;

The provisions made to mitigate any adverse effects the proposal may have on the environment.

The Council may, if approval is given, place further conditions on a resource consent for a discretionary activity which:

avoids, remedies or mitigates any effects resulting from the matters stated above;

limit the duration of the consent;

allow the effects of the activity to be monitored and the consent to be reviewed.



B. Regarding Non-Complying Activities

Any activity which is listed as a non-complying activity or does not meet the Discretionary Activity Standards is a non-complying activity.

In considering any application for a non-complying activity, regard will be had to the permitted activity and discretionary activity standards. Conditions may be imposed on particular proposals (or proposals declined) in relation to these standards. In addition, the following matters will be taken into account:

The effect of the proposal on the environment, including the cumulative effect of allowing the activity and whether the effect is minor;

The effect that granting consent to the proposal will have on the objectives and policies contained in the District Plan;

The contribution that the activity makes to enhance and vitalise the environment.

50-59 62

59-67 67-70 More than 70

Ambient + 3 70 Ambient

Table: Noise limits applying to various ranges of ambient noise levels determined in accordance with rule (4) below.



In order to determine compliance, the following shall apply:

1) The above limits apply to residential buildings, school buildings used for teaching, hospitals, halls and conference facilities, hotels and motels which:

a) exist at the time construction of the new road

commences: AND b) for which building consent has been applied for or

issued at least 6 months prior to the issue of a Notice of Requirement or the commencement of the construction of a new road (which is not the subject of a Notice of Requirement).

For the purposes of the above standard commencement of construction of a new road shall be the date a resource consent is issued for a new road by Council.

2) The above limits shall not apply to accessory buildings

such as garages and out-buildings excluding occupied caravans or where the road is within or adjacent to the Industrial/Service zone.

3) The limits in the above table apply at a point 1 metre

from the wall of the building exposed to the new traffic noise, at a point 1.2 metres above ground level or floor of interest where this is higher.

4) A survey of ambient noise levels shall be carried out

within 6 months prior to the commencement of construction of the new road, at representative locations of residential buildings, schools, hospitals, halls and conference facilities, hotels and motels. The purpose of this survey shall be to determine benchmark ambient noise levels for each of the nominated locations.

5) Within 12 months of opening of the new road a further

survey shall be carried out. A report shall be forwarded to Council stating:

The results of both surveys (ambient “before” survey, and “after” traffic noise survey)

A prediction of indicative future traffic noise levels likely to occur at each monitoring location after 10 years of operation of the road.

The assumed traffic growth forecast over that period, together with evidence supporting the forecast.

Where non-compliance is predicted, a statement shall be provided as to the mitigation options intended to be applied to ensure compliance with the appropriate limits, and a timetable for those works.

6) All measurements are in terms of Leq (24 hour). Leq

has the meaning ascribed to it at page 8 NZS6801:1991 “Measurement of Sound” with a measurement interval of 24 hours. The measurement method shall be in accordance with NZS6801:1991, provided that measurements are taken at a point 1.2 metres above ground level or floor of interest where this is higher, and traffic noise compliance measurements are undertaken at a point 1 m from the wall of the building.

7) As an alternative means of compliance to the means set

out in (1) – (6) above, the following shall apply:

Ambient noise levels shall be determined in accordance with (4) above;

Internal noise limits shall apply to all living rooms (including kitchens) and bedrooms and to teaching areas in educational facilities. For determining compliance with internal noise limits windows on exposed walls shall be closed;

The internal noise limits shall be calculated relevant to the ambient noise levels in the above table and shall be the noise limits in the above table minus 20 dBA, or 42 dBA Leq (24 hour), whichever is the higher.

Construction Noise From New Roads

1) Noise from construction associated with any new road in

the District shall comply with the limits prescribed in NZS6803P:1984 “The Measurement and Assessment of Noise from Construction, Maintenance, and Demolition Work”. Measurement and assessment shall be in accordance with that Standard.

D7: RIVER CORRIDOR RULES _____________________________________________________________________________________________


D.7. RIVER CORRIDOR ZONE RULES AND STANDARDS

The River Corridor includes the riverbed and the adjacent

floodway. It is an area which, if only partially blocked, would cause a significant redistribution of flood flow, with potential adverse effects on other areas. It is noted that under section 13 of the Resource Management Act 1991 the Regional Council controls various activities in relation to the bed of any river. There are rules and standards in Regional plans which address these activities. The provisions of this District Plan are designed to complement these plans.

The River Corridor covers the Waikanae and Otaki Rivers and

the floodway adjacent to these water bodies.

D.7.1 River Corridor Rules


The following are Permitted Activities:

(i) Pastoral or arable farming and market gardening, provided they comply with all permitted activity standards.

(ii) Reserves under the Reserves Act 1977, or other land

protected under the Wildlife Act 1953, or the Conservation Act 1987.

(iii) The maintenance and development of walkways,

cycleways, parks and scenic reserves. (iv) Flood mitigation works for the management of the

Waikanae and Otaki Rivers. (v) Mobile plants for processing extracted materials and

associated temporary buildings (up to 12 months). (vi) Gravel extraction (or quarries as defined in Part Q) from

the bed of the river.

Note: Gravel extraction from a bed of a river is controlled by the Wellington Regional Council and thus users of the Plan are advised to contact the Regional Council regarding any consents required for this activity.

Note:

In accordance with the Historic Places Act 1993, where an archaeological site is present (or uncovered), authority from the Historic Places Trust is required if the site is to be modified in any way.

Gravel extraction from the bed of a river is controlled by the Wellington Regional Council and thus users of the Plan are advised to contact the Regional Council regarding any consents required for this activity.

EFFLUENT DISPOSAL Septic tanks (or other on-site treatment and disposal systems) shall not be located within 50 metres of any waterbody. The site shall be capable of adequate sewage disposal to a safe environmental standard as evidenced by a report from a suitably qualified and experienced person, including an environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the proposed on-site treatment and disposal facilities to be used. There shall be dual effluent disposal fields or room for a duplicate and shall have filtered outlets to disposal beds. The EIA report shall include:

a detailed soil and, if necessary, geotechnical assessment;

identification of relevant topographic and drainage features;

an assessment as to any actual or potential effects of effluent disposal on existing water bores and surface and groundwater in the vicinity;

an assessment of the likely volumes of effluent to be treated;

certification that the on-site disposal system proposed will ensure that adverse effects are avoided.

The Council may waive the requirement for particular information (e.g. the EIA report) where it is satisfied that such information is not necessary in the circumstances. For the purposes of this standard, a “safe environmental standard” is where the effluent disposal will not, either on its own or cumulatively, lead to adverse environmental or health effects either within or beyond the boundaries of the site (including ground or surface water contamination, odours or surface run-off from land). Note: Any discharge into the land, air or waterbodies may require consent from the Wellington Regional Council. Applicants should contact the Regional Council to confirm whether or not a consent is required.




FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS The payment of all financial contributions in respect of a permitted activity as provided for in Part E of this plan shall be made before the commencement of that activity. NATIVE VEGETATION (i) The disturbance, removal, damage or destruction

(b) Modification to vegetation where it occurs within

an established production forest or where it occurs within two years of a production forest being harvested.






NOISE Non Residential Activities All non-residential activities other than transportation activities or construction, maintenance and demolition work (except in the case of temporary military training activities for which specific rules apply) shall be located, designed and carried out to ensure that the following noise levels are not exceeded at or within any residential boundary or the notional boundary of any occupied dwelling on a site in an adjoining zone, where the notional




boundary is a line 20 metres from the most exposed facade of the building.


During all night time hours (10pm to 7am) no noise event shall exceed LMax 75dBA.



PARKING, LOADING AND ACCESS Compliance with the Parking, Loading and Access standards in Part J of this Plan.

POTABLE WATER SUPPLY A potable water supply shall be provided where human habitation of a building is intended. Compliance with the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards 1995 and the New Zealand Building Code 1992, to the extent that is applicable, shall be one means of complying with the Standard. Note: The quantity of potable water available for use should be on the basis of 250 litres per person per day and there should be sufficient storage capacity to supply 4 people for up to 30 days, i.e. a capacity of 30,000 litres.

SHELTER BELTS AND PLANTATIONS Trees forming a shelter belt or dense plantation which may attain a height over 6 metres shall not be permitted to grow within 10 metres of any boundary of any site under separate Certificate of Title without the written consent of the adjoining landowner of that site.

D.7.2.2 Controlled Activity Standards FENCES The matters over which Council retains control are:

The materials from which fences are constructed other than post and wire.

The avoidance or mitigation of the potential adverse effects of flooding.

NEW ROADS

The building of new roads must comply with the following standards:

Traffic Noise From New Roads

New roads with a traffic volume exceeding 5,000 vehicles per day (AADT) shall be designed and constructed so that traffic noise levels at 10 years following opening of the route shall not exceed ambient sound levels by more than the limits specified in the following table:

Ambient Noise Levels (dBA) Leq (24 hour)

Noise Limit (dBA) Leq (24 hour)

Less than 43 43-50

50-59 62

59-67 67-70 More than 70

Ambient + 3 70 Ambient

Table: Noise limits applying to various ranges of ambient noise levels determined in accordance with rule (4) below.

In order to determine compliance, the following shall apply:

1) The above limits apply to residential buildings, school

buildings used for teaching, hospitals, halls and conference facilities, hotels and motels which: a) exist at the time construction of the new road

commences: AND b) for which building consent has been applied for

or issued at least 6 months prior to the issue of a Notice of Requirement or the commencement of the construction of a new road (which is not the subject of a Notice of Requirement).




For the purposes of the above standard commencement of construction of a new road shall be the date a resource consent is issued for a new road by Council.

2) The above limits shall not apply to accessory buildings

such as garages and out-buildings excluding occupied caravans or where the road is within or adjacent to the Industrial/Service zone.

3) The limits in the above table apply at a point 1 metre

from the wall of the building exposed to the new traffic noise, at a point 1.2 metres above ground level or floor of interest where this is higher.

4) A survey of ambient noise levels shall be carried out

within 6 months prior to the commencement of construction of the new road, at representative locations of residential buildings, schools, hospitals, halls and conference facilities, hotels and motels. The purpose of this survey shall be to determine benchmark ambient noise levels for each of the nominated locations.

5) Within 12 months of opening of the new road a further

survey shall be carried out. A report shall be forwarded to Council stating:

The results of both surveys (ambient “before” survey, and “after” traffic noise survey)

A prediction of indicative future traffic noise levels likely to occur at each monitoring location after 10 years of operation of the road.

The assumed traffic growth forecast over that period, together with evidence supporting the forecast.

Details of the traffic noise prediction method used and information supporting the accuracy of this method.

A statement of projected compliance (or non-compliance) with the traffic noise limits in the above table at the conclusion of the 10 year period.

Where non-compliance is predicted, a statement shall be provided as to the mitigation options intended to be applied to ensure compliance with the appropriate limits, and a timetable for those works.

6) All measurements are in terms of Leq(24 hour). Leq has

the meaning ascribed to it at page 8 NZS6801:1991 “Measurement of Sound” with a measurement interval of 24 hours. The measurement method shall be in accordance with NZS6801:1991, provided that measurements are taken at a point 1.2 metres above



ground level or floor of interest where this is higher, and traffic noise compliance measurements are undertaken at a point 1 m from the wall of the building.

7) As an alternative means of compliance to the means set

out in (1) – (6) above, the following shall apply:

Ambient noise levels shall be determined in accordance with (4) above;

Internal noise limits shall apply to all living rooms (including kitchens) and bedrooms and to teaching areas in educational facilities. For determining compliance with internal noise limits windows on exposed walls shall be closed;

The internal noise limits shall be calculated relevant to the ambient noise levels in the above table and shall be the noise limits in the above table minus 20 dBA, or 42 dBA Leq (24 hour), whichever is the higher.

Construction Noise From New Roads

1) Noise from construction associated with any new road in

the District shall comply with the limits prescribed in NZS6803P:1984 “The Measurement and Assessment of Noise from Construction, Maintenance, and Demolition Work”. Measurement and assessment shall be in accordance with that Standard.

2) Council may require the preparation of a Construction

Aircraft undertaking fire fighting duties.

Noise from the above aircraft operations shall be excluded from the compliance monitoring set out below.

In addition, there shall be no circuit training at the Airport of either fixed wing or helicopters:

Between the hours of 9.30pm and 6.00am during the winter months, defined as the period 1½ months either side of the shortest day.

Before 9.00am or after 6.00pm on Sundays and Public Holidays.

PAL shall undertake field monitoring of aircraft noise within 12 months of these rules becoming operative, then every 36 months until such time as there are three consecutive calendar years when the total aircraft movements at the




Airport exceed 70,000 in each calendar year. At that time, monitoring shall be undertaken annually. On each occasion, monitoring shall take place for a sufficient duration to adequately demonstrate compliance with the Ldn noise limit which shall be a period not less than one month and shall be undertaken during the busier times of the year (expected to be during the summer months). The monitoring undertaken shall include, as part of that overall assessment, the noise from the operation of the glider tug. The monitoring shall occur at the 65 dBA Ldn contour only.

Engine Testing Standard

No person shall start or run an aircraft propulsion engine for the purpose of aircraft engine testing unless carried out in compliance with the following maximum noise levels at or within the boundary of any residentially zoned site or the notional boundary of any rural zoned site:

Monday to Sunday 7.00am to 10.00pm - 55 dBA Leq (15 hours)

All engine testing shall be scheduled to take place between 7.00am and 10.00pm.

Notwithstanding that, in some situations it may be necessary to conduct essential unscheduled maintenance and engine testing that cannot comply with the above noise limits or is undertaken between 10.00pm and 7.00am. No more than 12 of these tests shall be conducted in any calendar year and in each event the total duration of testing during night time hours (10.00pm – 7.00am) shall not exceed 45 minutes. The time and duration of each event shall be recorded. Night time testing shall not occur in reliance on this exemption unless it is necessary for the maintenance and testing to occur at night (eg to ensure that commuter planes can keep to scheduled flights).

All measurements shall be in accordance with the requirements of NZS 6801:1991 “Measurements of Sound”.

Airport Noise Management Plan and Community Liaison

A Noise Management Plan (NMP) shall be prepared and implemented by PAL to assist all interested parties in complying with the noise rules in the District Plan for the Airport Zone. The NMP shall include the following:

1. Procedures for the establishment and maintenance of a programme to demonstrate compliance with the permitted activity noise standards for aviation activities, including a process for estimating annual aircraft movements.

2. Procedures for reporting compliance to the Council.

3. Identification and establishment and implementation of procedures and systems to:

Facilitate communication between residents around the Paraparaumu Airport, airport users and Kapiti Coast District Council; and

Identify key people for communication purposes and methods of contact; and provide a dispute management system to receive, record, deal with and monitor complaints.



4. Provision for monitoring within 12 months of the Plan Change 73 becoming operative, then every 36 months, and then annually once annual aircraft movements exceed 70,000 in each calendar year.

5. Provision for recording the details of essential unscheduled engine testing that occurs between 10.00pm and 7.00am or which does not comply with the engine testing rule.

6. The route of the circuits to be used for both training aircraft and helicopters. (The intention of including this is to encourage discussion between the Airport owner, the relevant operators and the community as to the circuit routes that will minimise effects on residents, while still meeting all regulatory and safety requirements.)

7. Identification and reporting on the best practicable options taken to avoid unreasonable noise from the operation of the glider tug in respect of the choice and maintenance of equipment and operating procedures.

8. Restrictions on the undertaking of helicopter training at the Airport. This will include a prohibition on extended hovering taking place within 50 metres of any residential dwellings, an a prohibition on "sling load" and "slope landing" training activities on the Airport. (Note: short duration - 5 to 10 minutes - sling load and slope landing may need to occur on the Airport as part of flight testing.)

9. Details of the circuit paths for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, and details of the arrival and departure tracks.

The NMP shall also provide that if an aircraft commences regular commercial scheduled operation from the Airport, which has a louder noise characteristic than any existing aircraft which it is to replace or, if a significant new aviation operator establishes at the Airport, then the Airport owner shall obtain confirmation from an appropriately qualified acoustic consultant that the use of the proposed aircraft or proposed significant new aviation operator will not result in the noise contours for the Airport being exceeded.

The NMP shall be reviewed by the Council in consultation with Paraparaumu Airport Limited within 12 months of these rules becoming operative, and at regular intervals thereafter.

Noise Other Than From Aircraft Operations

Noise from any activity other than aircraft operations or engine testing, construction, maintenance and demolition work, shall not exceed the following levels at the boundary of any adjoining Residential and the notional boundary of any dwelling in any adjoining Rural Zone:

7.00am to 10.00pm 50 dBA (L10)

During the night time hours (10.00pm - 7.00am) no noise event shall exceed 75 dBA Lmax.

Noise levels shall be measured in accordance with New Zealand Standard NZS 6801:1991 “Measurement of Sound” and assessed in accordance with New Zealand Standard NZS 6802:1991 “Assessment of Environmental Sound”.

All noise resulting from construction maintenance or demolition work shall be measured and assessed in accordance with New Zealand Standard NZS 6803:1999 “Acoustics – Construction Noise”.

INSULATION STANDARD FOR NOISE SENSITIVE ACTIVITIES

All new buildings associated with a noise sensitive activity shall be designed and specified to achieve an insulation rating of DnTw + Ctr>30 dBA for the building envelope. An acoustic certificate shall be provided to the Council by a suitably qualified and experienced acoustic engineer confirming this.

Where it is necessary to have windows closed to achieve the acoustic design requirements, an alternative ventilation system shall be provided. Any such ventilation system shall be designed to satisfy the requirements of the Building Code and achieve a level of no more than NC30 in any habitable room.

OUTDOOR STORAGE

Outdoor rubbish and general storage areas shall be suitably screened in accordance with the design guide to ensure that they are not visible from streets or public spaces. Note: External design and appearance, which includes screening of outdoor storage, is controlled by the Council under rule D.9.1.2.

RUBBISH / STORAGE

Management Plan (EMP) shall be prepared jointly by a suitably qualified landscape architect and ecologist in consultation with a stormwater engineer, the Council and the representatives of local tangata whenua.

The Environmental Management Plan shall aim to ensure the development and protection of healthy wetlands and streams, and their integration with public access, visual screening, and stormwater management. It shall include but not be limited to, the following matters:

a) The identification and protection of threatened wetland plant and

fish species;

b) The design and management of wetland systems to ensure

ecological objectives are achieved;

c) The design and management of watercourses to ensure

corridors are maintained for movement of freshwater fish;

d) The design of waterbodies to discourage flocking waterfowl that

may increase the risk of bird strike at the airfield;

e) The integration of waterways with stormwater management

systems to ensure water quality is maintained and ecological

values are protected;

f) Integration of public access including cycleways, walkways and

bridleways required to give effect to the objectives and policies,

including the provision of public access along any open streams;

g) Integrated planting for shelter, screening and public open space;

h) Timeframes to complete any works required by (a) through to (f);

i) Monitoring and reporting to the Council and tangata whenua on

the achievement of the EMP’s intended outcomes;

j) The ongoing maintenance of the Airport Buffer Precinct.

It is expected that the EMP would have two parts. The first part would relate to the Buffer Precinct. It would be formulated at the outset of development and in concert with a Stormwater Management Plan to ensure integration. The second part would relate to staged development of the Airport Core and Airport Mixed Use Precincts.

C.19 Objective 2, Policies 3,4 and 7



Stormwater Management Plan

(ii) As part of the first development within the Precinct a Stormwater Management Plan shall be submitted to, and approved by the Council, that addresses the issues raised in the Design Guide, the EMP, and the Subdivision and Development Principles and Requirements.

D.11: NGARARA ZONE RULES AND STANDARDS _______________________________________________________________________________________


D.11 NGARARA ZONE RULES AND STANDARDS

D.11.1 Ngarara Zone Rules

Given the special characteristics of Ngarara, it is appropriate that specific rules apply so as to ensure the identified objectives are met. The Structure Plan attached as D.11: Ngarara Zone Neighbourhood Development Areas - Appendix 1 outlines the conceptual development of the site and identifies a series of development clusters, called Neighbourhood Development Areas (NDAs) which identify development areas and corresponding areas of conservation and open space, with overarching Management Principles provided in D.11: Ngarara Zone Management Principles - Appendix 2. The areas for development and the corresponding open space areas shown within each NDA in the Ngarara Zone Structure Map may require minor refinement at the Neighbourhood Development Plan stage.

Subdivision and development of each NDA is a discretionary activity subject to the development of detailed Neighbourhood Development Plans which address the roading layout, ecological constraints, traffic management, stormwater, water and wastewater management built form, open space and conservation elements, vehicle and other linkages and sustainability initiatives. Land use consent for a full discretionary activity is required for each NDA, before development can proceed. A subdivision consent is also required at the time of approval of the NDA so that its boundaries can be defined along with the roading and open space network and any conditions to be complied with on a continuing basis can be imposed. The resource consent application would include a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for each NDA, which would effectively be the Master Plan for that part of the development site. The NDP would demonstrate how the principles and outcomes sought for that Area under the Structure Plan would be achieved.

Once the NDP for each NDA is approved (i.e. granted resource consent), subdivision and land use consent for non residential, commercial and retail activities would be required for the actual development of the respective NDAs. Provided the subdivision and land uses comply with the approved conditions and requirements in the NDP, consent would be required as a controlled activity. Consent for subdivision and land development could be sought concurrently with resource consent for the Neighbourhood Development Area. Dwellings and accessory buildings that are in accordance with a Council




approved NDP and permitted activity standards would be permitted activities.

The NDP could be implemented in stages through separate land use and subdivision consents sought at later dates, or for the entire NDA at one time.

Should the subdivision or land use not be in accordance with the Council approved NDP (such as subdivision of areas for residential development outside the corresponding area identified in the NDP) consent would be required as a non-complying activity.

Development of each NDA within the Zone will need to comply with the District Plan vehicle access, road location, and design standards and design guidelines for roads. Such development will generate traffic on the external road network, including State Highway 1, and will contribute to the need for improvements within the network. The vision for Ngarara, including the design of roads, walkways and other linkages, seeks to minimise the generation of vehicular traffic. To ensure that the development within the Zone does not outstrip the capacity of the road network, the applicant shall prepare an integrated transport assessment as part of the NDP process, once the threshold of 265 household units within the Waimeha NDA is proposed to be exceeded.

Note: The low impact urban area within provisions Part C, Section C.7.2 Rural Subdivision and Development Policies 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c), Principal Reasons and Methods; and Provisions C.7.2, Anticipated Environmental Outcomes; do not apply or have no effect or application to that area of land identified within the Ngarara Zone of the District Plan.

(b) Identify the forms of low impact stormwater technology to be utilised from the site development, e.g. including swales, rain gardens, roof runoff water tanks.

Note: The development of the storm water management plan is to be coordinated with development of the Environmental Management Plan to ensure integration of reticulation, treatment, and end of pipe solutions with management and hydrology of natural wetlands and waterbodies.

Integration of storm water treatment and management is to recognise Greater Wellington Regional Council publications “Mind the Stream”; “So you’re thinking about a pond”; and “Understanding the Wet in Wetlands”.

• Archaeological Survey and Assessment:

(a) The Archaeological Survey and Assessment is to include a comprehensive archaeological survey of the Neighbourhood Development Area for which resource consent is sought, using appropriate and current technology, to record all sites present, in so far as this is possible.

(b) The archaeologist should use the results of the survey to contribute towards development of the neighbourhood layout, noting areas which should be set aside as reserves, and deterring the layout and road alignment.

(c) The archaeologist should identify specific sites that could be investigated, to address the research themes noted above, and further research themes that are developed in the intervening time.

(d) The developer will need to apply to the Historic Places Trust for an authority to modify, damage or destroy sites, prior to any earthworks for each neighbourhood



(e) The archaeologist should contribute, knowledge, data and items to neighbourhood interpretations on the history of each neighbourhood.

• Integrated Traffic Assessment: Development of each NDA within the Zone shall prepare an Integrated Traffic Assessment to determine whether or not traffic effects on local (Kapiti Coast) and regional road networks are manageable and/or what measures are needed to avoid, remedy or mitigate these effects to an acceptable level.
