Plan Change 88 approves major development
A private plan change that will rezone 307 hectares of Beachlands land from Rural-Countryside Living to Residential and Business zones, as well as Large Lot and Future Urban zoning, has been granted.
Independent hearing commissioners decided PC88 after a lengthy hearing and several months of deliberation since then.
With respect to transport related matters, the Commissioners advised they were satisfied Beachlands South Limited Partnership’s modelling was appropriate, that upgrades identified by the applicant were those necessary to address any adverse effects, and that they could be provided before or at the same time as development.
Franklin Local Board made extensive submissions on the application, including that Beachlands had few council-managed facilities, gaps in footpath provision, no secondary school or emergency medical facilities and largely relied on tank water.
