Plan Changes : Proposed Plan Change 45 Ocean Beach Special Character Zone
Pursuant to Clause 5 of First Schedule, Resource Management Act 1991 the Hastings District Council advises that it has received a request from Hill Country Corporation Limited (HCCL) to change the Hastings District Plan. This private plan change request is referred to as Private Plan Change 45: Ocean Beach Special Character Zone.
In summary, the HCCL request seeks to rezone some 950 hectares of land contained in a total of 13 existing separate Certificates of Title at Ocean Beach, from Rural Zone to Ocean Beach Special Character Zone.
This zoning seeks to provide a framework to enable the development of a new village at the southern end of the beach and to provide for ecological restoration and conservation at the northern end of the beach and for the continuation of farming operations, including provision for equestrian activities and associated clustered housing, on the land in between.
The proposed Ocean Beach Special Character Zone incorporates a number of ‘sub zones’ including Residential (which includes 3 sub zonings with varying levels of residential density), Village Centre, Commercial Service, Rural, Rural Equestrian (with provision for cluster housing) and Rural Conservation (the area contained within the predator proof fence).
Submissions closed on 29 February 2008, with a total of 208 submissions received. A summary of submissions has now been prepared and further submissions are being received until 9th June 2008. For more details on lodging a further submission see the heading Further Submissions below.
