2 Subdivision and Development 8.0 Introduction - Subdivision and Development The principle purpose of subdivision is to provide a framework for land ownership so that development and activities can take place. It also provides for the provision of services which enable development and activities, including reserves, network infrastructure and community infrastructure. The adverse effects of activities are generally controlled by the provisions for each Zone. However, appropriate some potential effects of those activities that may be undertaken on sites are most appropriately managed at the time of subdivision. For example, buildings, earthworks, and the formation of vehicle access associated with permitted activities, may have an impact on the amenity of an area. The subdivision of land to create sites on undeveloped land inevitably requires consideration of the need for reserves, network infrastructure, community infrastructure, and telecommunications. The matter of servicing is often an important aspect of the subdivision process, particularly for new, undeveloped sites and needs careful consideration to ensure all effects and costs of infrastructure are taken into account. The subdivision of land that is already developed may also raise questions of servicing and access. To deal with these servicing issues in part, the Council has established a Development Contributions Policy within the requirements of the Local Government Act. Development contributions may be levied for any subdivisions that generate a demand for reserves, network infrastructure, or community infrastructure, excluding the pipes or lines of a network utility operator. The process of subdividing land provides an appropriate opportunity to consider a variety of issues including natural and other hazards in terms of the suitability of subdivided land for anticipated land uses, the provision of esplanade reserves, esplanade strips and access strips, opportunities for appropriate pedestrian access to the coastline and other places having public amenity value along unformed legal roads. 8.1 Objectives and Policies - Subdivision and Development Objective - Natural and Built Environments 1. Significant natural features, landscapes, indigenous biodiversity and ecosystems, springs, notable and heritage trees, and historic heritage are protected or enhanced through the subdivision process. 2. Integrates natural features, landscapes, tangata whenua values, water quality, indigenous biodiversity and ecosystems, and the value of existing trees and buildings through subdivision design and layout Policy - Natural features and landscapes Subdivision and associated works shall achieve the long-term protection and enhancement of: 1. the natural character of the coast, the coastal marine area, wetlands, and lakes and rivers and their margins,: 2. outstanding natural features and landscapes and significant ridgelines: 3. significant indigenous vegetation, indigenous fauna and their habitat Policy - Protection through subdivision and transfer of development rights Encourage the permanent protection of significant features, landscapes or indigenous biodiversity and ecosystems from further subdivision or development. This encouragement may include a development right that would not otherwise have been permitted Policy - Historic heritage and protected trees 1. Subdivision process and design shall ensure the retention of notable and heritage trees to the fullest practicable extent and ensure the protection of historic heritage, including that sites created in heritage precincts or zones should reflect the local historic pattern of development. 2. Encourage a subdivision design that facilitates community appreciation of notable and heritage trees and historic heritage Policy - Access to waterways 2
3 Provide for appropriate, accessible public access to and along the margins of rivers, lakes, waterways and the coastline including through esplanade reserves and strips, except in respect of Lyttelton Port of Christchurch where necessary to ensure public safety and security of cargo and port operations Objective - Design and amenity Subdivision; 1. provides allotments for the anticipated land uses for the zone, 2. promotes efficient use of resources and energy, and 3. enables places which have a distinct character reflective of their context and setting and ensure the health and wellbeing of residents and communities Policy - Allotments 1.

Where applicable, easements shall be created for the restrictive purpose, either in favour of the private owner or the City Council Staging of subdivision A subdivision may be completed in stages, provided that each stage meets all of the conditions of approval appropriate to that stage, and that the balance of the site remaining after the completion of each stage is a site which either complies with the provisions of the Plan or with the conditions of resource consent Suitability for proposed land use 1. Where section 106 of the Act applies to any part of the land to be subdivided it is the applicant's responsibility to provide all information relative to the potential hazard and to show the means whereby the land shall be made suitable for the proposed land use. Regard should be had to any information held on the Council's hazards register. The Council shall have regard to any appropriate proposals before issuing the subdivision consent, or declining approval pursuant to section 106. Chapter 5 of this Plan provides for the management of hazards as might be relevant to consideration of an application under s Where any part of the land contains contamination, it is the applicant's responsibility to provide all relevant information and to show the means whereby the land shall be made suitable for the proposed land use. Regard should be had to any information held on the Council's hazard register and the Hazardous Activities and Industries List held by ECan. 3. Every new site created shall be able to accommodate a permitted, controlled or discretionary activity in terms of the rules of the relevant Zone. Sites created which contain existing buildings shall be able to accommodate those buildings in compliance with the rules of the Zone, or without increasing any existing non-compliance. Where it is considered that an appropriate building platform is not available on a site, the Council may impose a consent notice which precludes the erection of a building on that site. 4. All subdivisions of land that involve buildings on or near allotment boundaries shall comply with the relevant requirements of this Plan and the Building Act Application of assessment matters Unlike other parts of the Statement of Rules, the assessment matters in this part of the rules do not follow the rules as a whole, but follow each separate subject matter set out in Clauses The matters contained in Part II and Sections 104 and 105 of the Act, apply to consideration of all resource consents. 2.
