165ZV: Hearing of submissions
or “The council listens to what people say about changes to plans for using shared sea and beach areas.”
You could also call this:

“Rules for how to handle activities when a plan change and application happen at the same time”

When a plan change request has been accepted and made public, you need to treat the related application as a non-complying activity. This means the regional council will look at it as if it’s not allowed under the current rules.

After the regional council decides on the plan change request, they will then consider and make a decision on your application. They will treat your activities as either controlled, restricted discretionary, discretionary, or non-complying. This depends on what the council decided about the plan change request that relates to your application.

  1. After a plan change request has been accepted and publicly notified, the regional council must process the concurrent application that the plan change request relates to on the basis that the activities for which the application is made are non-complying activities.

  2. The concurrent application must be considered and determined on the basis that the activities for which the application is made are controlled activities, restricted discretionary activities, discretionary activities, or non-complying activities in accordance with the regional council's decision on the plan change request that the concurrent application relates to.
