1 Introduction

1.1 Background

In August 2008, the Ministry for the Environment sought views on the possible scope of a national policy statement (NPS) on urban design. A background paper was made available to a wide range of parties including local authorities, iwi, planning and urban design practitioners and developers. The background paper posed several questions for people to consider in relation to the scope and direction of an NPS. For the list of questions posed refer to Appendix A.

1.2 Purpose of this document

This document summarises the views expressed in the 120 submissions received. It does not attempt to analyse these views or provide any recommendations in response to the points raised as this will form part of the report back to government in 2009. For a list of submitters refer to Appendix B.
