Section 33 Simplified planning zonesC1I1I2
A simplified planning zone is an area in respect of which a simplified planning zone scheme is in force.
The adoption or approval of a simplified planning zone scheme has effect to grant in relation to the zone, or any part of it specified in the scheme, planning permission for development specified in the scheme or for development of any class so specified.
Planning permission under a simplified planning zone scheme may be unconditional or subject to such conditions, limitations or exceptions as may be specified in the scheme.
A simplified planning zone scheme shall consist of a map and a written statement, and such diagrams, illustrations and descriptive matter as the council for the district within which the zone is located thinks appropriate for explaining or illustrating the provisions of the scheme, and must specify—
the development or classes of development permitted by the scheme;
the land in relation to which permission is granted; and
any conditions, limitations or exceptions subject to which it is granted;
and must contain such other matters as may be prescribed.
