The appeal is dismissed. The IHP and Council did not err in law: the notified SVMW overlay and schedule lacked sufficient evidential foundation and an adequate s32 basis, the IHP's recommendation to delete the overlay was open on the evidence, the broader plan provisions retained give effect to Part 2 RMA and NZCPS, and any misinterpretation of the withdrawal resolution was immaterial to the outcome.
