Decision on an application for resource

consents under the Resource Management

Act 1991
Decision one – restricted discretionary activity for a residential activity

Application numbers: LUC60355060 (BUN60354999)

Applicant: BGM Investments Limited
Site address: 29 Duke Street, Papakura 2110
Legal description: Lot 18 DP 17400
Proposal:
To construct six, double storey dwellings at the subject site including earthworks involving a
volume of 227m³ over an area of 1135m². There will be a height in-relation to boundary of
0.653m to 0.691m in height and 15m in horizontal length above the recession plane. This
development will be undertaken on an existing floodplain and overland flow path.

Resource consents are required for the following reasons:

Land use consents (s9) – LUC60355060

Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in part)

Chapter E12: Land Disturbance (District)

To propose earthworks involving a volume of 227m³ over an area of 1135m² will be a restricted
discretionary activity pursuant to Activity Table E12.4.1 (A5).

Chapter E36 Natural Hazards & Flooding

To propose new structures and dwellings, including the use of new buildings to accommodate
more vulnerable activities situated within the 1% AEP floodplain will be a restricted discretionary
activity pursuant to Activity Table E36.4.1 (A37) & (A38).

To propose dwellings situated within an existing overland flow path will be a restricted
discretionary activity pursuant to Activity Table E36.4.1 (A42).

Chapter H5: Residential-Mixed Housing Urban Zone

To construct and use four or more dwellings is a restricted discretionary activity under rule
H5.4.1(A4).

To develop new buildings (and/or any additions to existing), as the development of new buildings
or any additions has the same activity status as the land use activity, is a restricted discretionary
activity under rule H5.4.1 (A34).

Page 1 BUN60354999 (LUC60355060) & (SUB60355061)

The proposal involves use and development that does not comply with the following core
standards and is a restricted discretionary activity pursuant to Chapter C1.9 (2):

o To infringe the Height in-Relation to Boundary (HIRB) Standard under H5.6.5(1), which
will be between 0.653m to 0.691m in height by 15m in horizontal width for units 1 & 2
against the northern boundary.

Note:

Although not a reason for consent, the proposal does not meet the following residential
development standards of the AUP(OP):

o The 6m depth and 4m width outlook space requirement for the principal living area of each
dwelling will not comply with standard H5.6.12.

Decision
I have read the applications, supporting documents, and the report and recommendations on the
applications for resource consents. I am satisfied that I have adequate information to consider the
matters required by the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and make a decision under
delegated authority on the applications.

Acting under delegated authority, under sections 104, 104C and Part 2 of the RMA, the resource
consents are GRANTED.

Reasons
The reasons for this decision are:

1. The application is for restricted discretionary resource consent, and as such under s104C
only those matters over which council has restricted its discretion have been considered.
Those matters are:

• Chapter C1.9(3) Matters of discretion (a)-(f)

• Chapter E12.8.1 Matters of discretion (1)(a)-(o)
• Chapter E36.8.1 Matters of discretion (9)–(12A)
• Chapter H5.8.1 Matters of discretion (2)(a)-(c)
2. In accordance with an assessment under ss104(1)(a) and (ab) of the RMA the actual and
potential effects from the proposal will be acceptable as:

a. The proposed earthworks involving 227m³ volume over an area of 1135m² will be required
for the new development. The proposed earthworks will be undertaken to Auckland
Council engineering standards in addition to providing adequate earthworks mitigation
measures including a silt & sediment control plan. The silt & sediment control plans
provide silt fencing to TP90 standards. The proposed earthworks plan, mitigation
measures and compliance of current standards & guidelines will ensure that the volume
& area of earthworks will be undertake adequately with no compromise of any land
instability for the site & surrounding area.

b. The proposed FFLs will adequately provide for the facilitation of six new units that are
accessible and includes egress points for future occupants. The new FFLs will ensure the
proposed units will not be compromised during heavy storm events in this area. There

Page 2 BUN60354999 (LUC60355060) & (SUB60355061)

 will be adequate on-site soakage given compliant impervious coverage in addition to the
proposed landscaping. The revised public infrastructure includes 6 new underground
detention tanks at the northern boundary for each proposed unit, which will further reduce
runoff to the surrounding area. The existing stormwater lines in the area is anticipated to
facilitate the new units given the size & scale of flooding that can be expected in this area
as a result of the development. Furthermore, the relatively flat contours will ensure there
will be no immediate sites that would otherwise be subject to adverse flooding effects as
a result of the proposal.

c. The degree of HIRB departure will be acceptable in size & scale. The proposed
dimensions involving 0.653m to 0.691m in height by 15m in horizontal width on units 1 &
2 will not compromise any effects for any immediate sites given that the proposed
compliance of yard setbacks, building coverage & height. The proposal will ensure that
existing amenities within the site and the surrounding area will not be compromised as a
result of the proposed HIRB. There will be no compromise of daylight amenity given the
orientation and placement of the units. The HIRB infringement will not compromise
internal amenities for any habitable spaces as the units will have multi-facing windows to
ensure appropriate daylight is received for each unit.

d. The proposal will involve outlook infringements that are created upon a revision of the
floorplan, which will shift the vehicle crossing to the south of the site and relocating the
outlook space to the north. Each outlook will have an infringement of 4m in width in
addition to depths involving 2.04m for Unit 1, 1.96m for unit 2, 1.93m for unit 3, 1.86m for
unit 4, 1.77m for unit 5 and 1.70m for unit 6. In addition, there will be decking constructed
to each of the proposed units, which will all include 4m in width in addition to 1.5m depth
from the largest window of all living rooms.

The proposed decking will be designed inclusive of the proposed FFLs and building
foundation involving the floodplain & overland flow path. Given that the proposed decking
will be considered as a structure, there will be no physical obstruction of the outlook from
the window. The proposal will be compliant with yard setbacks and building height
provisions, which will alleviate any perceived bulk & dominance effects for adjoining &
adjacent sites. The associated outlook amenity will adequately be facilitated by the
western and eastern portion of the infringement as there will be adequate, landscaped
area that is in a rectangular design, providing further outlook amenity. Future occupants
will be subject to outlook that will involve adequate daylight and a view of the yard that
excludes driveways and manoeuvring areas, which will ensure internal amenity will be
retained.

The proposed alternative space will ensure an adequate perception of space as a result
of the large area that is clear of buildings. The size & scale of the infringements will not
compromise any internal amenity for the site and surrounding developments including the
surrounding area nor the existing & planned street character.

e. The proposed dwellings are of an appropriate intensity, scale and appearance for the
planned character of this zone. The development utilises a mix of brick and weatherboard
materials that will provide visual interest, breaking up any perceived dominance on
adjoining & adjacent sites. The placement & orientation of windows and living areas will
not adversely affect the amenity of adjoining & adjacent sites. Overall, the development
will provide a functional and quality living environment for future occupants and the new

Page 3 BUN60354999 (LUC60355060) & (SUB60355061)

 household units will be of a residential built form that is not considered to be fanciful and
therefore will contribute to the existing planned character at Duke Street, Papakura.

3. In accordance with an assessment under s104(1)(b) of the RMA the proposal is consistent
with the relevant statutory documents, insofar as they relate to the matters over which
discretion is restricted. In particular;

a. The proposal will be consistent with Objectives E12.2 (1), Policies E12.3 (1)-(3), 5) & (6)
and Matters of discretion E12.8.1 (1)(a)-(o) of Chapter E12: Land Disturbance. The
proposal will facilitate construction for the new dwellings, associated driveway and overall
topsoil clearance in consistency with Council guidance documents and engineering
standards. The size & scale of earthworks will fall within the scope of the associated
residential activity and is anticipated to be managed adequately. There are no identified
underlying hazards, Mana Whenua cultural heritage at the site nor will there be any
compromise of any historic heritage and character. It is considered the existing
characteristics of the site will adequately be able to facilitate the required earthworks
expected in this Chapter of the AUP (OP).

b. The proposal will be consistent with Objectives E36.2 (1)-(3), (5) & (6), Policies E36.3 (13)-
(15), (20) & (21), (29) & (30) and Matters of Discretion E36.8.1 (9)–(12A). The site will be
designed to accommodate six new units with new FFLs that will ensure that the expected
residential activity will adequately be facilitated. There will be adequate mitigation
measures including on-site soakage, existing stormwater infrastructure and proposed
layout of open spaces. There will be no compromise for safety & escape options for future
occupants in any heavy storm events.

Engineering mitigation measures will ensure that any occupants and surrounding
developments will not be subject to flood hazards or increased runoff as a result of
proposed developments. The appropriate engineering mitigation measures and site
characteristics (relatively flat topography situated in a residential neighbourhood) will be
adequate and consistent with this Chapter in the AUP (OP).

c. The proposal will be consistent with Objectives H5.2 (1)-(4), Policies H5.3 (1)-(4), (7) &
(10) and Matters of discretion H5.8.1 (2)(a)-(c) of Chapter H5: Residential-Mixed Housing
Urban Zone. The proposed built form shown on this proposal will not detract from the
planned urban character identified in this zone. The size & scale of the associated
infringements will be acceptable and designed in keeping with the existing street character
found in Duke Street, Papakura.

There will be adequate facilitation of internal amenities involving alternative outlook

spaces and bulk & dominance mitigation involving compliance of boundary activities
(yards, building coverage & height). Each of the proposed dwellings will have adequate
access to on-site amenities, which includes access and connections. It is considered that
the proposal will be consistent with this Chapter of the AUP (OP).

4. As a restricted discretionary activity, the other matters that can be considered under
s104(1)(c) of the RMA must relate to the matters of discretion restricted under the plan. In
this case, there are no further matters to consider.

5. Overall, the proposal is acceptable as the proposed, associated infringements will adequately
be mitigated with an appropriate site layout and compliant building designs involving all urban

Page 4 BUN60354999 (LUC60355060) & (SUB60355061)

 zone standards. Associated FFLs have been proposed to ensure the existing floodplain &
overland flow path will not compromise the anticipated redevelopment & use of the site for
residential purposes. There will be no adversely affected neighbours as a result of the
proposal. The proposal will largely be consistent with the planned urban character. All matters
from Iwi have been acknowledged during the process. There will be no further matters nor
effects to consider outside the scope of this proposal.
