Despite any decision made for the purpose of notification in relation to adverse effects, a consent authority may grant a resource consent for a non-complying activity only if it is satisfied that either—

the adverse effects of the activity on the environment (other than any effect to which section 104(3)(a)(ii) applies) will be minor; or

(b)

the application is for an activity that will not be contrary to the objectives and policies of—

(i)

the relevant plan, if there is a plan but no proposed plan in respect of the activity; or

(ii)

the relevant proposed plan, if there is a proposed plan but no relevant plan in respect of the activity; or

(iii)

both the relevant plan and the relevant proposed plan, if there is both a plan and a proposed plan in respect of the activity.

(2)

To avoid doubt, section 104(2) applies to the determination of an application for a non-complying activity.
