Dear Trevor

Re: Draft Drury-Opaheke Land Use Plan - 520 Great South Road

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft Drury-Opaheke Land Use Plan released by Auckland Council

in September.

My client, Newhaven has an interest in the property at 520 Great South Road, to the North-West of the Drury Structure

Plan area. The site is currently zoned Future Urban Zone (“FUZ”) and is surrounded by residential land zoned Mixed Housing

Suburban to the North - West and West. Land to the east and south is zoned Future Urban (See diagram below).

#268

In its resolution to undertake a structure planning exercise for the Drury and Pukekohe regions, Auckland Council signalled

an intention to bring forward re-zoning of these areas to meet significant housing demand that exists. The Council has

commenced preparation of a structure plan to be completed and approved around August 2019.

From a planning perspective, the site is appropriate for residential development as indicated in the draft land use plan. The

draft land use plan map indicates Medium Density Residential land use activity for the site, which Newhaven supports. From

a planning perspective, there are no inherent constraints on the land which would suggest a lower residential density than

what applies on surrounding residential land zoned Mixed Housing Suburban. The land is suitable for duplex and terrace

housing typologies to support intensification of the area. Newhaven looks forward to the Council identifying potential land

use zoning for land in the structure plan area.

The critical aspect for Newhaven is the timing of the structure plan and rezoning of the land. The original timeframe for the

structure plan of February 2019 has been delayed due to the need for an updated ITA, which is currently planned to be

available for in February 2019. It is anticipated that final agreement on the structure plan should be August 2019.

Newhaven is in a position to be able to commence concept design and consenting of the land for residential development

now to meet the demand for housing in this part of the Auckland region and would like to do this concurrent with the

structure plan process. Newhaven is concerned that further delays in the structure plan process will hinder this opportunity

and considers it critical that Council makes its best endeavours to meet the revised timetable for the approval of the

structure plan.

Newhaven would welcome the opportunity to meet with Council to further discuss the structure plan process and the

options to advance development of this site for residential housing.

Once again, thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft Land Use Plan. Please contact me if you would

like to discuss any of the matters raised above.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Vinall
