Application one
Site
725 Man O War Bay Road, Waiheke Island.
Details
The applicant, Man O War Station Ltd, proposes to construct
a new dwelling, access to the dwelling and a boat shed at 725 Man O War Bay
Road, Cactus Bay, Waiheke Island. The two buildings will be located in different
parts of Cactus Bay - the dwelling within the eastern portion and the boat shed

The single level dwelling will contain one bedroom, a bathroom, kitchen, living
room, store room, dining room and outdoor decking.
The single-level boat shed will contain a sleep-out with
bunkroom and bathroom. The structures will be clad with stained weatherboards,
using timber window and door joinery and long-run colour steel roofing in a
karaka colour tone.
The application site is within Land Unit 1 (coastal cliffs)
under the operative district plan, and Landform 2 (dune systems) under the
proposed district plan. Consent is required for the following reasons under the
operative district plan and proposed district plan.
Operative district plan
- To construct a building that is within the wetland/water
systems protection yard that is 7m from the nearest water system - discretionary
activity.
- Within Land Unit 1, there is no applicable building
height, as buildings are not provided for in the land unit. Accordingly, the
height of any building less than 6m in height shall be assessed as a
discretionary activity.
- Within Land Unit 1, no lot coverage is provided for. With
a total lot coverage of 364m2 proposed for the new dwelling and boat shed and
providing a total site building coverage of 1612.06m2 - the proposal is
considered a non-complying activity.
- To undertake earthworks for constructing the dwelling and
boat shed and access where no earthworks are permitted, with a total area of
earthworks of approximately 2,075m2 proposed - restricted discretionary
activity.
- Within Land Unit 1, vehicle accesses are not permitted.
Therefore, the proposed vehicle access to the dwelling with an average gradient
of 1:6.5 requires consideration as a non-complying activity.
Proposed district plan
- The construction of any buildings within Landform 2 is a
non-complying activity.
- The undertaking of any activity within Landform 2, other
than eco-source planting, is a non-complying activity. The proposal includes the
construction of buildings, and access and planting of some non eco-sourced plant
species.
- Within Landform 2, no building coverage is provided for.
Therefore, with a total lot coverage of 364m2 proposed for the new dwelling and
boat shed and providing a total site building coverage of 1612.06m2 - the
proposal is considered a non-complying activity.
- Within Landform 2, there is no applicable building
height, as buildings are not provided for in the land unit. Accordingly, the
height of any building shall be assessed as a non-complying activity.
- To undertake earthworks for the construction of the
dwelling and guest accommodation on site where within the Land Unit no
earthworks area is provided for, with a total area of earthworks of
approximately 2,075m2 proposed. This is a non-complying activity.
- Within Landform 2, there is no applicable wetland/water
systems protection yard. Accordingly, as the proposal includes the construction
of a structure in close proximity (7m) to a water system, it is considered a
non-complying activity.
Overall, the application is considered a non-complying
activity.
