no concerns with the proposal. Accordingly, it is considered that there is nothing in
the proposal that would conflict with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.

contained within Part 2. The proposal would enable the applicant to provide for their
wellbeing while avoiding, remedying or mitigating any adverse effects on the
environment.

objectives and policies of the Operative District Plan and the Proposed District Plan,
