Submission
Variation 2 change ID A1, F1-6, F2-2, Provision name and number, or address and map layer name Enable and encourage on-site storm-water and wastewater management, Family Flats My/our submission seeks the following decision from the Council: Reject the change Details Council is to be commended for seeking to provide additional housing capacity in the city. However, we are of the view that at least some of the required capacity could be provided by making use of under-utilized portions of the Rural-Residential 1 zone, provided that this is carefully managed to ensure that effects on the transport network and landscape are appropriately mitigated. We note that a number of Greenfields urban sites have been drawn from the Rural-Residential zones. Whilst we don't support high density residential development in our locality, we feel that there is some scope for additional dwellings in our area. We feel that development at a Large Lot Residential density with on-site wastewater provisions (subject to appropriate landscape controls) would be appropriate for our locality. We oppose council's proposal to remove Policy 2.2.5.2 that currently encourages on-site wastewater disposal. Reasons for these views We own the property at 90 Blackhead Road, and feel that this and surrounding properties could make a useful contribution to the housing capacity shortfall, through allowing smaller lot sizes. Effects, including landscape and transportation effects could be managed via the Resource Consent process and / or the Structure Plan process, to ensure that the character and amenity of the locality is maintained. The city's reticulated wastewater network has widely been reported as being under stress, and feel that using on-site treatment on larger properties will allow existing housing capacity to be created without placing additional strain on the reticulated wastewater network. Aging in place has been identified by council as an important option. Being able to down-size to a well-presented minor dwelling on our property would allow us to plan for the sustainable long-term use of our property.
