7.109 As mitigation measures will be imposed through a construction management plan as construction will be temporary, the temporary construction effects are considered to be acceptable subject to conditions of consent. Earthworks effects 7.110 The proposed earthworks will be up to 1m in depth across the site to allow for the foundations of the proposed building to be constructed. In total, approximately 150m 3 of material will be removed. 7.111 The site is considered to be highly modified and has little of its original natural character remaining. The earthworks are low in height and are being undertaken to create suitable foundations for the proposed building. Upon completion of the building, all areas subject to earthworks will be either covered by the proposed building or will be covered by seal as part of the car parking area. No areas of earthworks will remain exposed. 7.112 No areas of historical significance (notwithstanding the building at 352 Jackson Street) are situated on the subject property. The earthworks will not affect the historic values of the building at 352 Jackson Street. 7.113 The proposal has been reviewed by the Wellington Tenths Trust who did not present any concerns in terms of culturally significant sites being present on the site. 7.114 Subject to suitable conditions of consent for erosion and sediment control measures being in place, I consider the adverse earthworks effects to be acceptable. Positive effects 7.115 I consider the proposal will have positive effects. By demolishing the existing building at 350 Jackson Street and constructing the proposed building, the Jackson Street frontage will be reinforced with a consistent building setback similar to immediately adjoining sites. As noted in Mr Bowman’s assessment, the scale and width of the new building are similar to that of the building at 352 Jackson Street. Conclusion of the assessment of environmental effects 7.116 On balance, the adverse effects that may arise from the development are considered to be acceptable or mitigated subject to suitable conditions of consent.
8.0 Relevant plan provisions District Plan 8.1 I agree with and adopt the applicant’s assessment of the relevant objectives and policies in section 3.3 (pages 13-19) of the assessment of effects with the exception of the consideration relating to 14A (iii) 1.1.2: 8.2 14A(iii) 1.1.2 Adequate Car Parking Provision in the Petone Commercial Activity Area Objective To provide adequate car parking in a safe and visually attractive manner, to maintain the safety and amenity values of the area. Policies (a) That sufficient parking spaces be provided using a graduated scale for retailing activities, commercial services and licenced premises. (b) That on site parking be provided in a safe and visually attractive manner to enhance the safe and efficient operation of the roading system. (c) That on street parking be provided in a safe and visually attractive manner to enhance the safe and efficient operation of the roading system. While the proposal does not comply with the minimum on-site parking requirements for a residential development in the Petone Commercial Activity Area, I consider that adequate parking for the anticipated needs of the occupants is being provided. Further, <strong>Council</strong>’s Consultant Traffic Engineer supports the proposal and considers that it is typical of Jackson Street residents to only require one parking space per dwelling. 8.3 In summary, I consider that when balanced against the actual and potential effects, the proposed and suggested conditions of consent, and the objectives and policies of the District Plan, that overall the proposal will not be inconsistent with the outcomes sought for the Petone Commercial Activity Area (Area 1). 8.4 Rules 5B 2.1.3.1 (a) and (b) state the matters contained in sections 104 and 105, and in Part II of the Act shall apply and the degree of compliance or non-compliance with any relevant Permitted Activity Conditions are assessment matters for discretionary activities. 8.5 Assessment in accordance with section104 is contained within section 7 of this report. Part II assessment can be found in section 9.
