Federated Farmers is concerned that by not allowing farm sheds and structures to be located next to<br />
the road it will negatively impact farming operations. Often it is difficult, if not impossible to get<br />
stock trucks or other delivery / pick up vehicles into a property. It is therefore important that farm<br />
sheds be located directly next to the road so that farmers may have their stock transported. Further<br />
to this, appropriate building sites are often limited in rural hill country and the best sites are likely to<br />
be located next to the road where the most favourable topography exists.<br />
Relief sought<br />
That RU3.3.1 (a) and (b) be amended as follows:<br />
(a) For sites of 3000m² in area or greater, all buildings, shall be setback a minimum of 10 metres<br />
from the front boundary adjoining a local road or collector road. Farm sheds are exempt from Front<br />
Yard restrictions.<br />
(b) For sites of 3000m² in area or greater, all buildings, shall be setback a minimum of 30 metres<br />
from the front boundary adjoining any road other than a local road or collector road. Farm sheds are<br />
exempt from Front Yard restrictions.<br />

Council decision was to reject the submission<br />
Much of the rural hill country is limited in appropriate building sites and therefore it is necessary to<br />
to concentrate dwellings where the topography is most suitable.<br />
Federated Farmers believes that having one dwelling per 50 hectares over 100 hectares is<br />
appropriate when the adverse effects are no greater than having two dwellings on a 100 hectare<br />
site.<br />
Relief sought<br />
That RU3.3.3 (d) be amended as follows:<br />
(d) Not more than two dwellings shall be erected on any one site with an area of less than 100<br />
hectares and no more than four one dwelling shall be erected for every 50ha (or part thereof) on any<br />
one site with an area of 100 hectares or more.<br />
