Public Notice

Public Notification of Proposed Plan Change No.27 to the Upper Hutt City Council District Plan (2004)

Open Space Subdivision Standards

The Upper Hutt City Council has prepared the following proposed change to the Upper Hutt City Council District Plan (2004).

1)

Intent of Proposed Plan Change No.27

Proposed Plan Change 27 seeks to correct an omission in the District Plan whereby certain forms of subdivision provided for in the Open Space zone (not including the Speedway area) as controlled and restricted discretionary activities are not referenced to a corresponding rule outlining Council’s control or discretion respectively.

The Proposed Plan Change inserts a new rule to address this omission by outlining Council’s control over controlled activity subdivision by replicating a similar rule used elsewhere in the District Plan, and also amends an existing rule in respect of one type of restricted discretionary activity subdivision.

2)

Details of Proposed Plan Change No.27

Proposed Plan Change 27:

Inserts a new rule 21.5A which specifies the matters over which Council maintains control for controlled activity subdivision in the Open Space zone.
Amends rule 21.16 which is applicable to restricted discretionary subdivision in the Open Space zone.
