[1]     Clause 8

Omit the clause. Insert instead:

8 Flood prone land

(1)

Consent may be granted for facilities which, in the opinion of the consent authority, are essential in times of major flooding, but only in locations where it can be shown that they will be fully operational during a Probable Maximum Flood.

(2)

Consent must not be granted for development on land that is below the Flood Planning Level, unless the consent authority is satisfied that the carrying out of the development is unlikely to significantly:

(a)

impede the flow of floodwater, or

(b)

imperil the safety of persons on land inundated by floodwaters, or

(c)

exacerbate the adverse consequences of floodwaters flowing on the land with regard to erosion, siltation and the destruction of vegetation, or

(d)

have an adverse effect on riverbank stability, or

(e)

increase the level or flow of floodwaters over the land or over adjacent land, or

(f)

increase dependency on emergency services,

and the consent authority has considered the consequences of all floods up to the magnitude of the Probable Maximum Flood on access and evacuation routes servicing the land, particularly from the perspective of the risk of entrapment and the danger to life of the entrapped and their rescuers.

(3)

Consent must not be granted to the development of land below the Flood Planning Level unless the consent authorityhas taken into consideration:

Boundary changes in Zones 1 (b) and 1 (e)

Despite subclause (2), consent may be granted to a subdivision making boundary changes between allotments within Zone 1 (b) or 1 (e) that results in the creation of an additional dwelling house entitlement, but only where all lots created (including residue lots) that contain dwellings, or are created for the purpose of dwellings, satisfy the minimum lot size for dwellings in the zone.

(4)

Subdivision for an approved purpose

Nothing in this plan prevents consent being granted to a subdivision for a land use permitted in the zone, but only where development for that land use has been consented to and where the subdivision satisfies the other applicable provisions of this plan.

(5)

Subdivision along zone boundaries

Nothing in this plan prevents consent being granted to a subdivision along a zone boundary, but only where each lot created meets the minimum lot size for the relevant zone and the consent authority is satisfied that there are no constraints (such as flooding) preventing the subsequent independent development of each such lot created for the purpose of the land use for which it is zoned.

if the consent authority so wishes, additionally by any other appropriate means.

The notices must state that any person may make a written submission to the consent authority in relation to the proposed development during the period specified in the notice (which must be a period of at least 14 days after the issue of the notice).
