Advice Notes to Applicant:
1.
The Council will require payment of its administrative charges in relation to
monitoring, as authorised by the provisions of section 36 of the Resource
Management Act 1991. At present the monitoring charges include:
(i)
A monitoring fee of $90.00 to cover the cost of setting up a monitoring
programme and carrying out a site inspection to ensure compliance with the
conditions of this consent; and
(ii) A chargeable rate of $75.00/hour where further site inspections are
required.
2.
The applicant is advised to liaise with Victoria Bliss, a Heritage Conservation
Projects Planner at Christchurch City Council if further clarification is required in
respect of satisfying conditions 2 to 5. Ms Bliss can be contacted by phone on
(03) 941 8816.
3.
With relation to Conditions 3, 4 and 5, I note that the current Principal Advisor,
Urban Design and Heritage, Christchurch City Council is Neil Carrie. Mr Carrie
can be contacted by phone on (03) 941 8643.
4.
With relation to Condition 4, Ms Bliss has noted that Mr Stewart has offered to
review and discuss any proposed scope of works/ methodology supplied by the
contractors undertaking the works, and to make an assessment of a sample area
prior to the full scope of works being undertaken. It is Mr Stewart's
recommendation that the proposed methodology specify that the continuous bead
of sealant be as thin as is possible, and of a consistent size, and that the window
frames be fully masked prior to the application of the sealant. The proposed
methodology should also stipulate that the sealant will be kept millimetres away
from the window frames so as to ensure that the sealant does not make contact
with the metal frames.
5.
The applicant shall cease work if there are any changes proposed to the submitted
information and approved plans and methodology agreed upon in accordance
with Condition 4. Sufficient notice of any changes must be submitted to and
approved by the Principal Advisor, Urban Design and Heritage, Christchurch
City Council (or their nominee), before further work shall be undertaken, to
ensure that the proposed amendments can be considered within the scope of this
consent, or whether a new resource consent will be required.
6.
All work to be undertaken on the replacement and repair of original fabric should
be undertaken by tradesmen experienced in working with these materials and
heritage fabric.
7.
This resource consent has been processed under the Resource Management Act
1991 and relates to planning matters only. You will also need to comply with the
requirements of the Building Act 2004. Please contact a Building Consent
Officer (941-8995) for advice on the building consent process.
8.
This is an archaeological site as specified in the Historic Places Act 1993. An
archaeological site is any place in New Zealand that was associated with human
activity that occurred before 1900, and is or may be able through investigation by
