general, the creation of stable interlocked layers of green waste ensures that it does not fall off, or get
blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine area or into the sea.
From observations made during the inspection of the site no adverse environmental effects were found, or

way that reflects the level of risk the subject
activity (risk-based approach) may pose to the environment and/or the wider community and given the
relatively robust basis for cost recovery of consent monitoring, there is no good reason why councils should
fall significantly short of fulfilling this expectation. For some, resourcing may simply be inadequate for the task,
which places undue stress on staff and management and should be addressed at a council level.
Infrastructure covers the physical assets such as bus stops and interchanges (hubs) as well as any on-road

The information supplied so far by the
Government and its advisers would appear to fall
