The latest indications from HDC (source HDC website) are that the draft HDLP (known as the Regulation 19 document) will be published by HDC Planning in early December 2023 with a recommendation to the HDC Cabinet and Council (at their meeting on 11th December) for public consultation during January and February 2024. The meetings on 11th December will be held in public and broadcast live on YouTube. Save Rural Southwater will attend and request to speak at the meetings.
Following the consultation period the Regulation 19 draft will be reviewed in the light of comments received and reissued in June 2024 for review by an independent government appointed inspector for examination and further consideration in public hearings scheduled for October 2024. There will be further consultation on main modifications with the report of the inspector due in the Spring of 2025 and adoption of the new HDLP shortly thereafter. This timetable is provisional and may be subject to change.
SRS will continue to monitor this process and advise of any changes in the timetable.
