CCC Impervious covering of land.
I asked the council what were the ChCH regulations and the reply was:
"I refer to your query regarding restrictions on sealed surfaces.
The only regulations related to impervious surface coverage on developments can be found in the sections of the District Plan that restrict site coverage based on zoning. However, in most cases, developments adding 150m2 or more impervious surface that exceed 70% impervious coverage are typically required to provide some amount of onsite stormwater storage before connecting to the Council stormwater network"
So basically it is 70% is the max when the land is being developed, there does not appear to be any restrictions after the property has become established.
Logic would say the reason for the 70% restriction should apply no matter what stage that figure was exceeded.
There is also the section 'onsite stormwater storage' which I am asking for information on, as I have never noticed the sections with almost full coverage that are being developed, to see what that entails.
I will keep you informed.
