Planning Bill

Combined plan - Land use plans - Evaluation reports and justification reports

90: Requirements for further justification reports

You could also call this:

"When to write a extra explanation report for big changes to a plan"

Illustration for Planning Bill

If a proposed plan needs a further justification report under clause 26 or 27 of Schedule 3, you need to know it is only required for significant changes to a bespoke plan provision or a provision on a specified topic. You will not need a further justification report if the significant change is replacing a bespoke plan provision with a standardised plan provision. A further justification report must be prepared in accordance with section 87(1) and (2) and contain a level of detail that corresponds to the scale and significance of the changes for which the report is required.
