Planning Controls
Zone rules and what they mean for your property
Zone Spotlight: Residential - Single House Zone
The Single House Zone is a low-intensity residential zone primarily designed for single detached dwellings. For homeowners, this means you have good flexibility for extensions, renovations, and accessory buildings like garages, with clear rules about site coverage (35%), height limits (8m), and setbacks from boundaries.
Buildings must not exceed 8 metres. This maintains the low-density, single-storey to two-storey character of the zone. Tall or bulky forms are restricted to protect neighbourhood amenity.
View in Unitary Plan(H3.6.1)Buildings can cover up to 35% of the site area — the most restrictive of the residential zones. This preserves spacious sections with significant garden areas and maintains the low-density character.
View in Unitary Plan(H3.6.3)Front yard: 4.5m from the road boundary. Side and rear yards: 1m minimum. Larger front setbacks maintain the open, spacious streetscape character of single house neighbourhoods.
View in Unitary Plan(H3.6.4)Generally only one dwelling is permitted per site. A minor dwelling (up to 65m²) may be added as a permitted activity. Additional dwellings require resource consent as a discretionary activity.
View in Unitary Plan(H3.4.1)Maximum 50% of the site can be covered by impervious surfaces (buildings, driveways, paving). This manages stormwater runoff and maintains the green, garden character of the zone.
View in Unitary Plan(H3.6.5)Overlays & Designations
Overlays add extra rules on top of the base zone. Each overlay listed below applies to this property.
Verify: Auckland Unitary Plan viewer for full overlay rules.
Hazards & Infrastructure
Flood risk, ground hazards, coastal conditions, and underground services. Each section includes an embedded map.
Property overview map

Flood Risk Assessment
Detailed analysis of flood risks affecting your property based on Auckland Council flood mapping data.
Figure 3: Flood risks and overland flow paths. Data: Auckland Council. Indicative only.
Risk Level: LOW
Flood plain 61m from property boundary
What The Mapping Shows
- •
No mapped overland flow paths cross the site.
- •
No mapped flood extent intersects the site, but nearby flood features are present (see sections below).
Flood Prone Areas
Flood prone area
Present in 100m assessment buffer
No mapped flood prone area intersects the site, but nearby flood prone areas are present. This may affect development consent and drainage requirements.
Flood Plain Proximity
Flood plain
61m from boundary
A flood plain has been detected near the property (see distance above). This may affect insurance premiums, floor-level design, and how Auckland Council assesses future development.
Verify: LIM for flood zone boundaries, historical flooding, and insurance implications.
Coastal Hazards
Coastal inundation, erosion, and tsunami evacuation zones from Auckland Council ArcGIS.
Coastal Inundation
No polygons intersect the site (searched within 1 km buffer)
No coastal inundation data found within 1 km.
Source: Coastal_Inundation (Auckland Council ArcGIS) · Confidence: high
Coastal Erosion Hazard
No polygons intersect the site (searched within 1 km buffer)
No coastal erosion hazard data found within 1 km.
Source: Coastal_Erosion_Hazard_Area (Auckland Council ArcGIS) · Confidence: high
Verify: LIM for coastal hazard records, erosion history, sea-level rise projections, and the latest Auckland Emergency Management tsunami evacuation mapping.
Public Hazard Indicators (Open Data)
Ground hazard and contamination indicator layers from Auckland Council open data (property geometry, plus a 500m landfill proximity search).
| Layer | Intersects? | Class | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liquefaction Vulnerability | No | N/A | medium |
| Landslide Susceptibility | No | N/A | medium |
| Geotechnical Report Extent | Yes | Medium | medium |
Liquefaction Vulnerability: No liquefaction vulnerability data found within the queried area (property bounding box).
Landslide Susceptibility: No landslide susceptibility data found within the queried area (property bounding box).
Geotechnical Report Extent: A geotechnical report extent has been recorded for this area. This indicates prior geotechnical investigation nearby. Request a copy of the relevant report from Auckland Council for site-specific ground condition information.
Note: Open-data advisory layers, not official parcel-confirmed records. Verify: LIM/PIM, HAIL review, and site-specific geotechnical or environmental investigation where relevant.
Underground Assets Assessment
Proximity of public stormwater pipes to your property.
Figure 4: Public stormwater pipes on or near your property. Data: Auckland Council.
Public wastewater pipe crosses property boundary
Wastewater data cannot be included in this report due to copyright. View the Watercare wastewater map.
Dig permit / underground inspection required: Yes — stormwater pipes have been detected near or crossing your boundary. For wastewater, check with Watercare using the link above. Dial Before You Dig is recommended before any excavation.
Planning Implications
Works Over Approval Required
Building within 2.5m of public stormwater pipes may require Works Over approval. For wastewater infrastructure, use the Watercare wastewater map linked above.
Dial Before You Dig
Before any excavation, request a Dial Before You Dig report to identify all underground services. This is strongly recommended and required by most utility owners before excavation.
Restrictions
- •
Works Over approval required if building within 2.5m of stormwater pipes
- •
Dial Before You Dig required before any excavation
- •
Underground inspection may be required for pipes crossing the property
Recommendations
- 1.
Request a Dial Before You Dig report before any excavation work. This free service identifies underground utilities and is strongly recommended by utility owners before any excavation.
Request report - 2.
Check wastewater with Watercare using the map linked above. If building within 2.5m of stormwater pipes, Works Over approval may be required. This includes foundations, retaining walls, and pools.
View the Watercare wastewater map - 3.
Treat pipe locations as indicative. GIS data shows approximate locations. Confirm exact positions with a physical survey before construction.
Open data licence
Verify: Dial Before You Dig before excavating. Check wastewater with Watercare using the link above.
Buildability & Development Potential
Two separate rules apply; both must be satisfied. Verify with a planner and survey.
Additional controls may apply
This estimate reflects standard zone coverage and impervious limits only. Additional precinct, overlay, hazard, covenant, or design-control rules may further restrict height, floor area, or building form. Where such controls apply, planner or specialist review is recommended before relying on this figure.
How Much Can You Build?
The council limits how much of your land can be covered by buildings (footprint) and how much can be paved (impervious surfaces).
| Building Footprint (Coverage) | Total Hard Surfaces (Impervious) | |
|---|---|---|
| Site Area | 565 m² | 565 m² |
| Zone Limit | 35% | 50% |
| Maximum Allowed | 565 × 35% = 198 m² | 565 × 50% = 283 m² |
| Current (est.) | 136 m² (~24% assumed) | 136 m² + paving (unknown) |
| Remaining Allowance | 62 m² | Up to 147 m² (less existing paving) |
Key Takeaway: You have approximately 62 m² of building footprint allowance remaining—enough for a modest extension.
Hard Surface Scenarios
Since we don't know your existing paving area, here is how much additional hard surface (driveway, patio, etc.) you could add:
If existing paving is 0 m²
147 m² left
If existing paving is 50 m²
97 m² left
If existing paving is 100 m²
47 m² left
If existing paving is 200 m²
0 m² left
Footprint source: estimated at 24% of site area — this is a standard NZ residential assumption, not measured from building outlines. The outlines shown on maps are for visual reference only and were not used to calculate this figure. A site survey is recommended before design work.
