Conditions

1. See Diagram B09-06 for strata diagram for land adjacent to Broadway, Newmarket.

2. No additions or alterations shall be made to the building scheduled in the District Plan (Map Reference E10-23 Remuera Railway Station and Signal Box) other than in accordance with an outline plan submitted and processed in terms of Section 176A of the Resource Management Act 1991. This provision shall also apply to the interior of the building and the site surrounds as dimensioned in the Plan.

The following conditions apply between points X: 1,750,777.116m Y: 5,914,020.693m and X: 1,737,958.656m and Y: 5,921,597.470m (NZTM2000):
3. Where an outline plan of works is submitted in accordance with s176A of the Resource Management Act 1991, prior to commencing the project or work, that plan shall be accompanied by:
a. A statement outlining the District Plan objectives and policies relevant to the works proposed; and
b. An assessment of the effects the works described in the outline plan will have on the environment.

Explanation:
While it is accepted that the project works will be (or should be) in accordance with the designated purpose, the Council will wish to address the relevant objectives and policies of the Plan and be assured that the works will not adversely affect the environment. The Council’s principal opportunity to influence the works to assist the requiring authority to meet its environmental responsibilities is through the outline plan, and the assessment of compliance and effects will assist in determining whether to request changes.

4. Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control measures shall be employed for any new earthworks on the designated site.

Explanation:
The District Plan outlines erosion and sediment control measures for earthworks which are above a certain threshold, with that threshold varying according to the particular environment. Compliance with these measures would generally satisfy condition 4. Note that major earthworks may require a consent from the Council.
