3.4 Subdivision
3.4.1 Significant Resource Management Issues
- Council will continue to ensure that land titles are capable of being utilised for their intended purpose with particular attention to the provision of a stable useable building platform. Sustainable land management includes ensuring that all land titles are capable of accommodating activities consistent with those anticipated by the zone which do not have adverse effects on the environment which cannot be avoided, remedied or mitigated.
- The amenity values of the District’s principal waterways are affected by development that restricts public access to those waterways.
- Subdivision and consequential development can threaten and/or degrade significant indigenous vegetation and habitats including waterbodies, archaeological, waahi tapu (sacred sites) or heritage sites.
-
Unsustainable and inefficient movement systems created by ad hoc subdivision within urban areas.
- A lack of urban design in our towns can result in poor quality and lead to unsuccessful towns.Through Council signing the New Zealand Urban Design Protocol and applying the National Guidelines for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design the design of buildings, places, spaces and networks that make our towns work for all, both now and in the future, is achievable.
