Landscaping for residential development
65 Landscaping for residential development
(1) Consent shall not be granted for residential development unless the
consent authority has considered a concept landscape plan that demonstrates to
the satisfaction of the consent authority that-- (a) the design of buildings
complements the physical characteristics of the site and minimises the removal
of mature vegetation and site disturbance, and
(b) the location of buildings
maximises the retention of mature vegetation and maintains significant mature
landscape features that contribute to the streetscape, and
(c) mature
vegetation that shall be removed for the proposed development will be replaced
with appropriate vegetation to provide screening from adjoining buildings and
to maintain the contribution to the streetscape of the vegetation on the site,
and
(d) the development incorporates proposed planting that, upon maturity,
will provide screening of the development from public streets and adjoining
dwellings, and
(e) the scale and massing of buildings ensure that built forms
are secondary to the landscape setting in residential areas where these
settings are the dominant character element in the surrounding area.
(2) A
concept landscape plan prepared to comply with subclause (1) shall include the
following information-- (a) the location and extent of existing vegetation to
be retained including trees, hedges, large shrubs, shrub beds and any areas of
natural vegetation,
(b) an indicative planting plan showing the location and
size of each tree and large shrub to be planted and the areas to be planted
with low shrubs and ground covers,
(c) the proposed extent and type (native
or exotic) of planting that is to be provided to replace any vegetation that
is proposed to be removed.
