A district plan manages land use activities and subdivision – they set out rules and policy for how land can be used and developed.
HortNZ's submission
HortNZ made a submission in August 2021 in the best interests of growers. The key point's raised in HortNZ's submission were:
- The need to ensure reverse sensitivity effects in the rural environment are managed.
- The important of providing for horticultural activities (including seasonal worker accommodation, crop protection and support structures, ancillary rural earthworks etc.)
- The need for a pragmatic framework for greenhouses (and not grouping them in as 'intensive primary production' rules).
