PC60 Maxwell Hill Zone (Private Plan Change)

Status: Declined

A plan change request has been made by Kapiti Views Trust to add a new zone to the Wairau/Awatere Resource Management Plan.

The total area to be encompassed by the proposed zone is just less than 50 hectares. The zone is proposed to be called Maxwell Hills Zone with its purpose to enable the residential use of the site. The proposed plan change will enable the creation of approximately 160 lots ranging between 2,000 m2 and 4,000m2.

The site of the plan change is on part of the property owned by Kapiti Views Trustees Limited who own more than 300 hectares of land in the Taylor Valley near the intersection of Taylor Pass Road and Maxwell Pass Road.

The legal description of the site is:

Lots 1-3 DP 357141 and Lot 1 DP 9518, being 320.919 hectares more or less on Certificate of Title 232445.
Section 2 SO 7014, being 8.8900 hectares more or less on Certificate of Title 5A/644.

The Rural 4 zone currently applies to the site and all properties in the locality.

The site is 2.5 kilometres from the Urban Residential Two Zone which is the nearest residential zoned land forming part of the urban area of Blenheim.
