Coastal Hazard Provision of the PDP 2012
Note: We are currently operating under two District Plans. At this time both the Operative District Plan (ODP) and the Proposed District Plan (PDP) Appeals version 2018 have legal effect.
The ODP will continue to have legal effect where any corresponding objectives, policies and provisions in the PDP have been appealed. As appeals are resolved, the ODP provisions will fall away and the PDP will be relied on.
While we still have both an ODP and a PDP it is necessary to comply with both Plans. However, rules in the PDP that are not subject to appeals must be treated as operative, and the corresponding ODP rules fall away.
Any rules in the PDP which cannot be treated as operative still have legal effect and are afforded 'weighting' on a case by case basis, depending on the nature and extent of the appeal.
Background to the PDP
The Proposed District Plan (PDP) includes policies and rules regarding land use and subdivision for the whole Kāpiti Coast District.
On 22 November 2017 the Council notified the Proposed District Plan Decisions Version 2017. Further details are available here. This replaced the Proposed District Plan Notified version.
Proposed District Plan documents
Amendments made since the PDP was notified on 29 November 2012 have been incorporated into the Plan using strikethrough versions.
The notified PDP 2012 is also available on CD or hard copy on request.
