Status: Operative
The following proposed plan change was made Operative and has been incorporated into the Nelson Resource Management Plan (NRMP).
Main Changes
The purpose of this proposed plan change was to:
- Introduce a Freshwater Rules Appendix to the NRMP. The new Freshwater Appendix will house all the freshwater rules rather than being repeated in each zone chapter. This enables rules FWr.26 to FWr.29 to apply in all zones (rather than the Rural Zone only). The rule related to effluent disposal fields (FWr.29) will now be able to be applied in cases where developers choose not to join up to reticulated services, as provided for in Proposed Plan Change 14 and the NCC Land Development Manual 2010. Proposed Plan Change 24 amends FWr.29 to more explicitly apply to all zones, and states that extensions to existing effluent disposal fields (as well as new disposal fields) require resource consent.
- Updates the water classifications in Appendix 28.4 following a review by the Cawthron Institute. The Cawthron Report made 16 changes to the classifications that are included in the Plan Change.
No appeals were lodged on this Plan Change.
