Summary

Hastings District Council has received a request from Amnico Village Holdings Ltd for a change to the Hastings District Plan referred to as Proposed Plan Change 44: Brookvale Road Retirement Village.

Proposed Plan Change 44 seeks to rezone approximately 18.279 hectares of land in the block bounded by Romanes Drive, Brookvale Road, and Thompson Rd, from Plains Zone to General Residential for the specific purpose of establishing a Retirement Village and activities in accordance with the Brookvale Road Retirement Village Concept Plan.

The concept plan proposes approximately 369 accommodation units and a commercial node containing a village centre, childcare centre and serviced apartments.

The request also seeks to rezone an abutting 9775m2 of the subject land on Brookvale Road to Deferred General Residential (which is proposed to become ‘General Residential’ on 1 December 2010).

Proposed Plan Change 44 proposes changes to the planning maps and rules of the Hastings District Plan as follows:

  • Amends Planning Map 64a by rezoning the subject land from Plains to General Residential and Deferred Residential.
  • Introduces a new Concept Plan for the ‘Brookvale Road Retirement Village’ as Appendix 8.0-6 to the Residential Section of the District Plan.
  • Provides for the Retirement Village and Associated Activities in accordance with the Concept Plan in Appendix 8.0-6 as permitted activities in the General Residential Zone.
  • Provides for any Variation to the Concept Plan in Appendix 8.0-6 as a restricted discretionary activity.
  • Amends Section 8.7.2.1 (Deferred Residential Zone) by specifying the area adjacent to the intersections of Brookvale Road and Romanes Drive will become General Residential on 1 December 2010.
  • Amends Standards for Landscaping, Screening, Visual Amenity, and Traffic Generation to apply to those shown on the Concept Plan in Appendix 8.0-6.
