2016-07-22 Part 1 Precincts supported The Panel recommends the precincts below for inclusion in the Auckland Unitary Plan. 500 Albany 3 Precinct 1. Summary of recommendations The Panel supports this precinct and notes that no evidence was presented that contested the provisions prepared by the Council. This precinct was heard in Topic 081. 2. Precinct description The Albany 3 Precinct is located north of Oteha Valley Road, comprising 13ha of land at 29, 40A and 42 Kewa Road. The underlying zone is the Residential - Single House Zone. The land is mainly hilly and there is an area of regenerating native bush to the south of the site identified as a significant ecological area. The precinct is based on the provisions of Plan Change 32 (the relevant Environment Court decision was released on 3 May 2012) to the Auckland Council District Plan - Operative North Shore Section 2002 which reviewed the Albany Structure Plan zones. The purpose of the precinct is to provide for the concept development plan for 29, 40A and 42 Kewa Road which emerged from Plan Change 32 3. Key issues The Panel accepts the need for a precinct for the reasons contained in the planning evidence on behalf of Council and set out below (paragraph 9.2): In our view, the Albany 3 precinct gives effect to the purpose of the Act in recognising that specific provisions and development controls should continue to apply to the Kewa Road areas to ensure consistency of development and also recognises that these provisions were developed over an extensive period of time which included public consultation, expert assessment, and an Environment Court hearing (on Plan Change 32). The proposed precinct provisions still represent, in our view, the best method to enable appropriate development at Kewa Road. (Paragraph 9.2.) The Panel has
