Plan Change 42 - Rural Subdivison

Plan Change 42 – Rural Subdivision reviews the provisions in the District Plan relating to subdivision of Rural land. This includes addressing the issues of loss of high quality soils through fragmentation of titles and the adverse effects of rural-residential growth in the Rural zone. It also includes some minor corrections to zoning (from Rural to Residential) on the District Plan maps, in locations where residential subdivision has already occurred.
