PLANNING PROPOSAL UPDATE
The planning proposal must demonstrate the strategic advantages before the advantages of the individual area are considered in more detail. As such, the Commission recommended that the planning proposal not proceed after the transition was determined.
REVISED PLANNING PROPOSAL AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The planning proposal is of low scale and forms a logical extension of the existing village of the Dural neighbourhood. The approximate location of the land affected by the planning proposal is shown in yellow.
Gateway Determination
INTRODUCTION
This is discussed in this report as part of the strategic assessment of the proposal in terms of the District Plan. The Council decided (Attachment A2) that the proposal should be submitted to the Department for Gateway Assessment to determine the views of the State Government Agency on the merits of the proposal. March 11, 2020 The proponent provided unsolicited additional information (Attachment G) detailing the public benefit of the proposed drop-off zone on the operation of the surrounding road network.
PROPOSAL
This is because the site in isolation cannot adequately ensure the scale of improvement required in the road network; and. The proposal includes the reservation and delivery of a section of the road that bypasses Rondehoek from Annangrove Road to Old Northern Road and New Line Road (Round Corner Bypass). To ensure development does not place an unreasonable burden on the provision of services, facilities and infrastructure in the area to which this clause applies.
NEED FOR THE PLANNING PROPOSAL
STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT 1 District
The planning proposal is inconsistent with this local strategy as it seeks to enable urban development in an area identified as rural in the Council's Countryside Strategy. Non-Compliant: The planning proposal does not comply with the following Ministerial Guidance Section 9.1 as explained below. This is inconsistent with this guidance as the planning proposal seeks to rezone the land from RU6 transition to R2 low density housing.
SITE-SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT 1 Social
The reason for this is that the isolated location cannot sufficiently guarantee the required scale of improvement in the road network. The planning proposal does not demonstrate sufficient site-specific merits to provide the required funding and upgrades to road infrastructure needs in the greater area.

ORDINARY MEETING OF THE COUNCIL 09 FEBRUARY 2021. the EP&A Act), they may deny the application based on its merits (particularly with regard to potential risks and environmental impacts). Therefore, should the Council decide to apply this new clause, it is recommended that it be applied to the above-mentioned areas, as they are likely to be most at risk of natural disasters. Within the above zones, it is estimated that there are approximately 61,900 properties that will fall under the new clause in the event that a natural disaster damages or destroys a residence or second home.
