About this plan change

Hutt City Council has received a request from M & J Walsh Partnership Ltd, for a proposed change to the City of Lower Hutt District Plan.

The proposal is to rezone 12.5 hectares of the site at 12 Shaftesbury Grove, Stokes Valley, from a combination of the Hill Residential and General Recreation Activity Areas to the Medium Density Residential Activity Area.

The proposed plan change would also introduce provisions to the Subdivision chapter of the District Plan that would apply to future subdivision of the site. In particular:

• A map identifying a development area for the site (proposed Appendix Subdivision 10),
• A new Restricted Discretionary Activity rule for subdivision within the identified development area, with a set of assessment matters that relate specifically to subdivision of the site.
• A new Discretionary Activity rule for subdivision outside the identified development area (which provides for a greater range of assessment matters).

More information on the proposed plan change is available in the Plan Change Document.
