MOTION NO. 8

MOTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

In Section 0.2.1, on page 12, in the paragraph after (g), beginning with "Given the above..", insert after "large scale", and in brackets the words "(greater than 10 hectares)".

REPORT:

It is proposed to refomat the sentence referred to to now state ' ...no expansion, other than small  urban infill, of residential zoned land is required.' In considering the motion the ambiguity of the addition gave rise to the concern that once the area of residential rezoning was under 10ha this was permissible. Any further rezoning of land, at this time, other than small urabn infill needs to be considered in the context of the core strategy of the Draft Development Plan.

 In reviewing this motion the SEA team raised concerns regarding the above ambiguity of the proposed wording.

Manager’s Recommendation:

That the amended  motion be adopted to now read ' ...no expansion, other than small  urban infill, of residential zoned land is required.'
