Explanatory note
The purpose of these changes is to better promote low emissions and sustainable development under the National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPS-UD), and avoid urban sprawl with significant adverse environmental effects. This will also promote urban design that supports public health by reducing car dependency. This will be done through increasing specified heights from six to eight storeys in Policy 3(b) and (c) of the NPS-UD, enabling more residential development within walking distance of the types of mixed-use zones specified in Policy 3(d) of the NPS-UD (neighbourhood centre zones, local centre zones, and town centre zones), and ensuring that consideration of unanticipated or out-of-sequence development pays particular regard to specific environmental factors.
