1. Framework plans
When considering a restricted discretionary application for a framework plan, amendments to an approved framework plan or a replacement framework plan, the council will consider the proposal against the following criteria:

a.Ground contours and contamination

i.The proposed finished contour levels across the subject land area will avoid variations between the ground floor level of future buildings and adjoining existing and proposed open space (where information is available). Where ground floor accommodation or non¬permanent accommodation use is proposed, some minor variation between the ground floor level and the level of adjoining public open space may be acceptable to provide for the privacy of residents.

ii.The intended standard or method of remediation of the contaminated land is suitable for the proposed development and future occupants/users.

2.Buildings

a.Building footprints, profile and height, as opposed to detailed building design, establish an integrated and legible built form and spatial framework across the subject land area while also:

i.enhancing the form and function of existing and proposed streets both within and external to the site

ii.avoiding monotonous built form when viewed from public open space through variation in building footprints, height and form.

b.Buildings provide a good standard of privacy between habitable rooms of dwellings on the same site and on adjacent sites.

c.Building layout provides dwellings with outdoor living space that is useable and accessible.

d.Dwellings are located and orientated to provide, where possible, passive surveillance of the street and contribute to streetscape amenity.

e.Length of dwellings have a suburban residential character and attached dwellings alongside boundaries do not have unbroken roof lines.

f.Fences provide a reasonable degree of privacy for dwellings while enabling passive surveillance of the street and contributing to streetscape amenity.

g.Buildings are designed in a manner that garages are not a dominant feature of the streetscape.

h.The location of garaging allows cars to park in front of the garage without the car encroaching on the street.

i.Dwellings are designed to be of a sufficient size to provide a reasonable standard of amenity.

j.Dwellings are designed so habitable rooms receive an adequate degree of daylight.

k.Space is provided to accommodate the storage of waste.

3.Activities

a.The floor to floor height of the ground floor levels of buildings enables them to accommodate a wide range of activities and to be adapted to accommodate differing uses in the future.

b.The location and staging of anticipated activity types and / or the location, orientation or layout of buildings avoids or mitigates potential conflicts between activities within the subject land and adjacent land areas.

c.Buildings provide opportunities for the establishment of community facilities and services that support high density mixed-use development.

4.Density

a.The appropriateness of the level of density proposed in regard to slope, topography, infrastructure servicing and proximity to Glen Innes and Panmure town centre, the planned Tamaki Transit Orientated development and frequent public transport routes.

5.Public open space network

a.Development staging should correspond with the implementation of wider network improvements to public open space.

b.Whether the layout and design of open space within the subject land area will ensure well¬connected, legible and safe vehicular and pedestrian routes with appropriate provision of footpaths, servicing, infrastructure services and landscape treatment.

c.Whether the layout and design of open space and lanes within the subject land area will integrate with and complement the form and function of existing and proposed public open space and streets.

d.Where relevant, proposals are required to protect cultural landmarks, heritage items and historic places of significance in the Tamaki area.

6.Services

a.Stormwater, wastewater, water supply, electricity and telecommunication infrastructure will be provided to adequately service the nature and staging of anticipated development within the subject land area.

b.The location of built form, public open space and stormwater management infrastructure provides for the establishment of future stormwater management features which incorporate low impact stormwater design principles and improved water quality systems.

c.Traffic, parking, design and location of roads

d.The integration of parking, loading and servicing areas within the subject land area taking account of location and staging of anticipated activity types.

e.The provision of parking within the subject land area taking into account anticipated activity types and encouraging the use of alternative transport modes.

f.The reconfiguration and/or construction of new roads:

i.create a well connected roading pattern

ii.avoids adverse effects on the safety and efficiency of the adjacent road network

iii.are designed to a consistent, high quality design standard

iv.provide for alternative transport modes.

7.Other

a.The general assessment criteria for framework plans specified under Chapter G: Auckland-Wide General provisions shall also apply.

8.Land use and/or development complying with an approved framework plan

a.The council will consider the assessment criteria set out in clause 6.1.2.1 above.

9.Density: 1 dwelling per 150m² gross site area where four or more dwellings are proposed

a.The council will consider the density assessment criteria set out in clause 6.1.2.17 (density) above.

10.Integrated residential development

a.The council will consider the assessment criteria applying to four or more dwellings in the underlying Mixed Housing Suburban zone.

1. A framework plan, amendments to an approved framework plan or a replacement framework plan must include the following information:
