You are here:   Welcome  >   Part 7  >   Matters Over Which Control is Reserved on Controlled Activities  

- The imposition of financial contributions as provided for in Section 7.7.

- The design and layout of subdivisions.

- The design of the subdivision, in respect of encouraging the protection of any archaeological or other heritage site.

- The size and shape of the proposed lot(s). Lots of inadequate size and/or poor soil permeability conditions, such that sewage and effluent cannot be adequately disposed of, are unlikely to be approved.

- Siting of buildings. This may require, for example, specified building platforms where parts of the site are subject to flooding, low ground bearing capacity, erosion or fault lines. In Kumara Junction Developments, a planting plan may be imposed to ensure buildings are effectively screened from roads and adjoining properties.

- The imposition of conditions, including covering the following matters:

• Requiring the vesting of ownership of land in the coastal marine area or the bed of a lake or river in accordance with section 237A of the Act.

• Waiving the requirement for, or reducing the width of, an esplanade reserve or esplanade strip in accordance with section 230 or section 405A of the Act.

• Subject to Section 220(2) of the Act a condition that any specified part or parts of the land being subdivided or any other adjoining land of the subdividing owner be -

(i) Transferred to the owner of any other adjoining land and amalgamated with that land or any part thereof; or

(ii) Amalgamated, where the specified parts are adjoining; or

(iii) Amalgamated, whether the specified parts are adjoining or not, for any purpose specified in the district plan or necessary to comply with any requirement of the district plan; or

(iv) Held in the same ownership, or by tenancy-in-common in the same ownership, for the purpose of providing legal access or part of the legal access to any proposed allotment or allotments in the subdivision.

- Requiring that any allotment be subject to a requirement as to the bulk, height, location, foundations, or height of floor levels of any structure on the allotments.

- That provision be made to the satisfaction of the Council for the protection of the land or any part thereof, or of any land not forming part of the subdivision, against erosion, subsidence, slippage or inundation from any source (being, in the case of land not forming part of the subdivision, subsidence, slippage, erosion or inundation arising or likely to arise as a result of the subdividing of the land which is the subject of the subdivision consent).

- That filling and compaction of the land and earthworks be carried out to the satisfaction of the territorial authority.

- That any easements be duly granted or reserved.

- That any existing easements in respect of which the land is the dominant tenement and which the territorial authority considers to be redundant, be extinguished, or be extinguished in relation to any specified allotment or allotments.

- Requiring copies of the survey plan for administration purposes.

- Requiring the provision of monitoring information.

- Where an access road within the subdivision meets a State Highway, conditions on the location and design of the intersection layout so as to minimise traffic conflicts.

- Where an on-site sewage disposal system is proposed, a condition may specify the minimum capacity of that system and the standard of effluent required.

In respect of land in Franz Alpine Resort:

(a) How the proposal achieves the Objectives and is sympathetic to the Outline Development Plan and Design Guidelines in 5.4A.

This may include the upgrading of the State Highway 6/Sanctuary Place intersection and/or Sanctuary Place.
