Subject: Official Information request - WCC Planning - Error correction process

Dear Wellington City Council,

If a WCC Planner incorrectly includes in a consent constraints above and beyond the rules in the operational district plan, what is the process to remediate the overreach?

consider for example a context where a subdivision land use resource application was applied for and was consented for a dwelling location in a Zone where residential buildings are Unrestricted, and the published District Plan's Standards permit 8m high dwellings, but the approving planners includes a statement to the effect that "the proposed house may not be higher than 5m" - clearly with no basis in any statement in the operational district plan, what is its enforceability?

Furthermore, if having no legality, and therefore an unfounded constraint, what is the process to follow to have it removed? And how would the submitter retrieve costs for advice, meetings, request, and following this up to completion? What about the time for lost months waiting for this to be corrected?

Yours faithfully,

Wellington RatePayer
