The Panel considered a report on issues raised through the Preferred Options consultation in connection with Chapter 23 (Water) together with the Officers’ responses to those issues.  The Panel was advised why further amendments to Chapter 23 (Water) were required in terms of ensuring that the final draft District Plan incorporated the most up to date policy position and the latest available evidence.  The proposed draft revised (and renumbered) Chapter 22 was presented for consideration before subsequent incorporation into the final draft District Plan.

Members discussed the difficulties of providing evidence to support sustainability requirements.  Officers cited by example fittings such as dispersal taps. 

A Member suggested that arrangements for dealing with the storage of bio-fertilisers be incorporated.  This was to be considered by Officers.
