Status: Operative
The following proposed plan change was made Operative and has been incorporated into the Nelson Resource Management Plan (NRMP).
The purpose of this proposed plan change was to update references to the externally referenced Nelson Tasman Land Development Manual (NTLDM) 2019 in the Nelson Resource Management Plan. The Nelson Tasman Land Development Manual 2019 (NTLDM) and associated practice notes replaced the Nelson Land Development Manual 2010 on 1 July 2019.
Main Changes
Externally referencing the Nelson Tasman Land Development Manual 2019, and specific chapters of the NTLDM, where relevant, throughout the Nelson Resource Management Plan, in doing so replacing all references to the Nelson City Council Land Development Manual 2010 as a means of ascertaining consent status, and as matters for control or discretion, or as assessment criteria for certain activities including, but not limited to, subdivisions.
Revising the building over or alongside drains rule where it appears in the Nelson Resource Management Plan Zone chapters, the effect of which is to:
- alter the consent status of some contravening activities from controlled activities to restricted discretionary activities;
- make any building within 3m of the top of a bank of an open drain a discretionary activity; and
- make the rule operate in a standalone manner, independent of the NTLDM.
Consequential amendments under Cl.20a of the Resource Management Act (RMA) to the Nelson Resource Management Plan including:
- replacing references to LDM ‘minimum’ standards and ‘design guidance’ with references to NTLDM ‘mandatory matters’ or ‘standards’ and ‘good practice (guidance)’;
- replacing the description for the LDM with one for the NTLDM in Chapter 3 (Administration);
- amending the definitions for ‘all-weather surface’ and ‘permanent surface’; and
- replacing the standards for minimum distance of vehicle crossings from intersections, maximum number and minimum spacing of vehicle crossings, design of vehicle access, vehicle oriented commercial activities, and clearances additional to tracking curves in Appendices 11 and 12, with references to the NTLDM, where they are now contained.
