CURRENT CONDITIONS OF USE

Editors note:
The conditions of use for both the inner and the outer Boiler Point reclamations are identical apart from the sctions of the Town and Country Planning Act that they are pursuant to, and are set out below in detail.

The conditions set out below remain intact and have been incorporated into the proposed district plan apart from a small change to clause 10 (below) which is concerned with height limits. These imposed limits have since been modified a little, but as they stand in the proposed district plan they are 8.5 metres. Careys Bay residents have no argument with this condition. There has also been a deviation from the vehicle access asked for in clause 14, in as much as the plan was changed. In light of the current proposal this access will now be in dispute once again.

The noise requirements requested in clause 4 are currently in dispute refer here to learn more.

We have ommitted 'Section A' from the conditions below as that section dealt with the method of construction of the reclamation and as such does not have any bearing here.
