What is the district plan?
The District Plan is a legal document which sets out the council's
policies
and strategies for managing the natural and physical resources of the
Auckland Hauraki Gulf islands for the future.
How
does the district plan achieve this?
The district plan imposes various rules to control the effects of activities
and development on the Auckland Hauraki Gulf islands.
Activity/development flow chart
What
type of activities are specified in the district plan?
The district plan classifies activities into four groups:
- Permitted These
activities can be carried out as of right (eg a home occupation in
a residential zone) but they must comply with the specified development
controls (eg maximum building height, building yards and off-street
car parking requirements).
- Controlled
These activities require additional conditions to make them suitable
for their surroundings (eg building design and appearance controls,
landscaping requirements, special traffic measures).
- Discretionary Aspects
of activities may not be suitable on all properties in a zone. To determine
this, the council's consent is required.
- Prohibited
These activities are listed as prohibited on the Hauraki Gulf islands.
It is noted
that a non-complying activity is one which is not provided for on the particular
property concerned or in the plan.
What activities don't need consents?
The district plan allows certain activities to proceed without a resource
consent. Generally, these are classified as permitted activities
in a zone and must comply with all the zone's development controls. Usually,
if these activities involve building, they will require a building consent. Other activities require a resource consent. These are:
- controlled activities
- discretionary activities
- non-complying activities
What
activities need consents?
A resource consent must be granted before an activity or development is
started. Information about applications for resource consent are contained
in
Part 4 of the plan.
