No question of law was established: the Board did not err in its s32 assessment or in adopting the limited plan changes; it did not misapply the NPSFM or Part 2; mitigation/offsetting can be permissible management methods where avoidance is impracticable; deferring detailed assessment of effects (including stormwater) to the resource consent stage was lawful; therefore the appeal is dismissed.
