2.2 Breakdown of submissions by level of support for an NPS
Most submitters supported the development of an NPS on urban design. Figure 2 shows a breakdown of submissions by organisation type and stated level of support for an NPS. Levels of support are categorised as ‘support’, ‘oppose’, ‘not stated’ or ‘neutral’.
The highest levels of support came from academic institutions, central government, consultants, iwi, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), professional bodies and ‘other’ organisations. Developers showed the highest level of opposition of any organisation category (keeping in mind there were only two submissions from this sector). A mixed response was received from individuals, regional councils and territorial authorities.
1 ‘Other’ includes organisations such as infrastructure providers, groups with an interest in sustainability issues and organisations representing groups of local authorities.
