In the Richmond West Development Area, noise caused by an activity measured at or within the boundaries of any site within the area, other than within the site from which the noise originates or at the boundary of the area, does not exceed:. The release is pursuant to Section 36.4 of this IN Plan. ii) All stormwater drainage elements that are part of the stormwater drainage network are physically and legally protected from future development that could adversely affect the efficient operation of the network. p) The land use is at 701541 (Champion Road, Richmond) and is subject to the permitted conditions of activity set out in Schedule 17.1E. The occupation of the home is carried out between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, unless: i) the activity is entirely located inside the building;. ii) the activity is performed exclusively by a person or persons with permanent residence at the location;. iii) no visitors, customers or deliveries outside of the above hours. f) Home work is not carried out on Sundays and holidays. g).
The maximum number of hours the home site is open for visitors, customers or delivery is 50 hours in a week. h). There is an exception to conditions (e), (f) and (g) for a home occupation that is the accommodation of visitors. j) Domestic activity is not carried out in a place that is in a cul-de-sac, on a common access or a private path, unless: i) the activity is carried out exclusively by a person or persons with permanent residence at the location; ii) there are no visitors, customers or delivery on the site. k) No activity on the site employs more than one full-time person who resides elsewhere than on the site. The development of Papakainga is a controlled activity if it meets the following conditions:. a) The land concerned is customary Māori land, Māori-owned land or general Māori-owned land as defined in section 129 of the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
The land is vested in a trust established under Part 12 of the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, the authority of which is set out in a trust deed or other instrument of authority which ensures, as far as is practicable, that: i) the land remains in ownership trustees or establishment without the right to sell; ii) the possession and/or the rightful interest in the land is limited to the beneficiaries of the fund. Consent may be refused or conditions imposed only in respect of the following matters to which the Council has limited its discretion:

- E Discretionary Activities (Building Construction or Alteration – Specified Location: Wakefield)
- Non-complying Activities (Building Construction or Alteration)
Parts of the building or detached outbuildings may be placed around a corner outside of daylight, but only up to a certain height. At least the building is set back:. (i) 3 meters from the top of the bank of a river with a bottom less than 1.5 meters wide; (ii) 8 meters from the top of the bank of a river with a bottom between 1.5 meters and 5 metres; iii) 20 meters from the top of the bank of a river with a bottom between 5 and 20 meters wide. The discharge complies with Article 36.4 of this Plan. ii) All rainwater drainage facilities that form part of the rainwater drainage network are physically and legally protected against future developments that could adversely affect the efficient operation of the network. Sat) If the activity is within the Richmond Intensive Development area, the activity complies with condition (k) of Rule 17.1.3.4C relating to specified stormwater flood flow paths.
Operating Chapter 17 – Zoning Rules 16 September Controlled activities (building construction or alteration – compact density development). g) All buildings on the boundary of each allocation comply with building envelope and setback rules of permitted activity conditions 17.1.3.1(m) – (o) and 17.1.3.1(q) – (v), under the following conditions:. i) where the land adjoining the boundary is not part of the subdivision; or. ii) where the land adjoining the boundary is not developed as a compact density development. The discharge complies with section 36.4 of this Plan. ii) All storm water drainage features that form part of the storm water drainage. The discharge complies with section 36.4 of this Plan. ii) All stormwater drainage features that form part of the stormwater drainage network are physically and legally protected against future development that may adversely affect the efficient functioning of the network. j).
The effect of the location of the building within the setback of the indicative road or reserve. The extent to which all rainwater drainage facilities that are part of the rainwater drainage network are physically and legally protected against future developments that could negatively affect the efficient operation of the network. The extent to which the location and configuration of buildings and the use on the site have a positive relationship with the street, in particular whether the main entrances are on the street and the storage and parking facilities are at the rear of the location.
Outdoor living spaces are not located on the south or east side of the apartment. e.g.). For the avoidance of doubt, this means that for any zone boundary where there is land outside the dwelling that has not been developed as part of intensive development, the building envelope and setback rules for the standard building density then apply.
Principal Reasons for Rules
As a discretionary activity, the visual effects of the garage location may be considered. This is encouraged for convenience and safety as long as the safe operation of the road is not compromised. The side yard requirements are set to provide sufficient space for a vehicle to maneuver to the rear of the site if required and to enable efficient and practical use of the remainder of the site whilst mitigating the adverse impacts of buildings on neighboring sites.
However, if accessory buildings are located close to boundaries and have long blank walls, this may affect the view from neighboring properties due to the dominance of the site by an elongated wall in the immediate vicinity. The angle of the line is based on getting some sun in places even in the middle of winter at noon. The purpose of the control measures is to ensure that the residential areas of the district remain dominated by residential rather than non-residential activities.
Noise limits are set in relation to the existing background noise levels, which have been measured in many residential parts of the Borough. The dBA Leq level sets a standard for noise measurement tuned to the human ear, which is an average of the noise measured over a specified time interval. Provisions for papakainga development in the residential zone recognize the diverse housing needs of the Māori community and the likelihood that this type of development will not conform to the standards and conditions of traditional New Zealand low-density subdivisions and housing developments.
The residential zone is part of the Richmond South, Richmond West, Brightwater, Wakefield, Motueka West and Mapua development areas. All developments in the Richmond South, Richmond West, Brightwater, Wakefield, Mapua and Mapua Special development areas are subject to the requirements of the Urban Design Guide (Part II, Schedule 2). Therefore, properties outside the Compact Density Development will experience no change in terms of the size and location of buildings from what could be developed under a permitted activity scenario.
Rules require the efficient management of stormwater and control of the effects of stormwater runoff in residential areas. This allows for residential intensification through a combination of infilling and redevelopment of the existing area. Some of the bulk and location standards for intensive housing are the same as those for compact density housing, including the requirements for outdoor living space, the building envelope and external boundary setback standards.
