7 General restrictions on granting development consent
7 General restrictions on granting development consent
(1) Before granting consent for any development, the consent authority is to consider whether it will be ecologically sustainable development.
(2) The consent authority must not grant consent for any development unless it is satisfied that carrying out the proposed development will be consistent with achieving—
(a) the ecologically sustainable development goals in Schedule 1, and
(b) the objectives for the zone in which the proposed development will be carried out.
(3) When taking zone objectives into account, the consent authority is to treat any primary objectives for the zone as more significant than the secondary objectives for the zone and a primary objective is to prevail over a secondary objective for the same zone to the extent of any inconsistency.
