Statement of evidence of David Compton-Moen
1 Qualifications and experience
1.1 My full name is David John Compton-Moen.
1.2 I am a Director Landscape Architect / Urban Designer at DCM Urban Design
Limited (‘DCM Urban’). I founded DCM Urban in August 2016. Prior to this, I
worked at Kamo Marsh Landscape Architects (18 months), Jacobs/SKM (2.5
years) and MWH NZ Ltd (now Stantec – 5.5 years).
1.3 I hold the qualifications of a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Hons) and a
Bachelor of Resource Studies (Planning and Economics), both obtained from
Lincoln University. I am a Registered Landscape Architect of the New Zealand
Institute of Landscape Architects (‘NZILA’), since 2001, a Full member of the
New Zealand Planning Institute, since 2007, and a member of the Urban Design
Forum since 2012. I am currently studying a Masters in Urban Design through
the University of Auckland. I was branch Chair of the Canterbury/ Westland
Branch of the NZILA for 4 years from 2013 to 2016.
1.4 I have worked in the landscape assessment and design, urban design, and
planning fields for approximately 20 years, here in New Zealand and in Hong
Kong. During this time, I have worked for both local authorities and private
consultancies, providing expert evidence for urban design, landscape and visual
impact assessments on a wide range of major infrastructure and development
proposals, including the following relevant projects:
• 2013 – 2016 – I provided Landscape and Visual impact assessment and
evidence services for Watercare Services Limited for a proposed 33km long
water pipe between Waitakere and Albany, 2 water reservoirs and a
pumping station. The proposal included the removal of native vegetation,
crossing three significant stream corridors and developing detailed mitigation
measures;
• 2018-2020 – I have recently provided design services and assessment for
the development of a 171Ha aggregate quarry in the Selwyn District,
Canterbury. The project involved providing landscape and visual impact
evidence, development of detailed planting plans and landscape bunds
around the perimeter of the site, and the development of photo-illustrations
to show how the proposal would look from public viewpoints;
8037668.2 3
• 2019 – I provided Landscape and Visual impact assessment services to
Christchurch City Council for the development of the Cashmere Valley Dam.
The project involved extensive earthworks, the creation of a 4m high bund
(dam), public pathways and extensive native planting;
• 2008 - I provided Landscape and visual evidence for the extraction of gravel
from the Kowai River and creation of a new processing plant, for Winstone
Aggregates, a division of Fletcher Concrete and Infrastructure Limited;
• 2008-11 – I provided Landscape and Visual impact assessment, evidence
and landscape design services for the Pines Wastewater Treatment Plant on
the outskirts of Rolleston, for Selwyn District Council. The project involved
extensive landscape planting around the outskirts of the site (5.6km) to
provide a landscape strip to capture potential spray drift.
1.5 My evidence relates to a Notice of Requirement (‘NOR’) for Designation and
associated resource consent applications for the construction, operation and
maintenance of the structural flood mitigation works identified as the Pinehaven
Stream Improvements Project (‘the Project’). Wellington Water Limited (‘WWL’)
has lodged the resource consent applications and NOR on behalf of Upper Hutt
City Council (‘UHCC’).
1.6 I am familiar with the area that the Project covers, and have been involved with
the Project in a Landscape Assessment and Design role since April 2013 when I
prepared some initial concept sketches to illustrate possible options. I have
visited the site on numerous occasions.
2 Code of conduct
2.1 While these applications are not before the Environment Court, I have read and
am familiar with the Code of Conduct for Expert Witnesses in the current
Environment Court Practice Note (2014). I have complied with the Code in the
preparation of this evidence, and will follow it when presenting evidence at the
hearing.
2.2 The data, information, facts and assumptions I have considered in forming my
opinions are set out in my evidence to follow. The reasons for the opinions
expressed are also set out in my evidence to follow.
2.3 Unless I state otherwise, my evidence is within my sphere of expertise and I have
not omitted to consider material facts known to me that might alter or detract from
the opinions that I express.
8037668.2 4
3 Scope of evidence
3.1 This evidence addresses the following matters:
a Existing landscape and visual environment;
b Effects – Landscape character and values;
c Effects – Visual;
d Recommended mitigation;
e Responses to issues in submissions;
f Response to section 42A reports.
4 Executive summary
4.1 In terms of landscape elements and character, residual effects (with mitigation
approximately 5 years after construction works finish) will be less than minor.
There will be some loss of vegetation and modification of stream banks during
construction, but the quality of the receiving environment is mixed, with areas of
well-established native vegetation but also areas where there is a high level of
modification and infestation of weeds species. The proposed landscape works
combined with the engineering works will improve the amenity of the corridor over
time, but there will be short term more than minor adverse effects (up to 5 years)
when earthworks occur and vegetation is initially removed during construction,
and before new plantings become established. There are some positive
outcomes likely with the removal of some existing bridges and structures, and the
consolidation of others.
4.2 The proposal will have less than minor adverse effects on the landscape values
identified in the District Plan. The site is not located in an area with a landscape
overlay, and does not affect any Notable Trees, but does move through two
Urban Tree Groups identified in the District Plan resulting in the some loss of
trees.
4.3 In terms of visual effects, the proposal will have the greatest visual effects on the
residents of 26, 30-38 Blue Mountains Road and 10-12 Birch Grove who will all
experience minor residual adverse effects (i.e. with mitigation), due to their
proximity to stream widening works. The proposal to create a shared or partially
shared accessway for 30-38 Blue Mountains Road will, in my opinion, have a
positive effect on the character of the stream and Blue Mountains Road.
8037668.2 5
4.4 Residents at 10, 12 Birch Grove and 26, 30-38 Blue Mountains, will all
experience significant adverse effects during construction with the loss of
vegetation and significant encroachment on to their properties. With mitigation,
the residual effects for these residents will reduce to minor once vegetation is
established after approximately five years, but there will still be some loss of flat
land. All other residual visual effects are less than minor or indiscernible.
4.5 Overall, from a landscape and visual effects perspective, I consider the residual
effects of the Project acceptable.
5 Existing landscape and visual environment
5.1 The landscape character of Pinehaven is typical of many low-density residential
suburbs in New Zealand. The density is low, with a mix of single and two storey
dwellings on mid-sized sections. There are some multi-unit developments, but
typically most dwellings are single units on a single lot. In general, the existing
urban character, while being residential, has an eclectic range of building styles,
setbacks and orientation, with little cohesion.
5.2 Well established landscape planting helps to ‘tie’ all the disparate elements
together. Vegetation in the valley is well established with numerous trees, both
native and exotic, over twenty metres in height. Undergrowth is also well-
established.
5.3 Pinehaven Stream runs through the middle of the suburb and is sometimes highly
visible, but in most situations is hidden from public view either by vegetation,
buildings, topography, or a combination of all three. Each of the landscape
elements which make up the landscape character are described in further detail
below.
5.4 Overall, in relation to the sensitivity to change of each landscape element:
a Topography - I consider to have a low-to-medium sensitivity to change;
b Existing vegetation - I consider to have a medium sensitivity to change;
c Waterway and natural character - I consider have a medium sensitivity to
change;
d Built structures – I consider to have a low sensitivity to change.
5.5 The visual catchment of the proposal is limited to a relatively narrow corridor due
to the nature of the works combined with the large amount of existing vegetation
8037668.2 6
present in the area. Of the dwellings which border the stream, views of the
stream are typically open with large, well established native trees lining the banks
of the stream, including kowhai and beech. Views of the water itself though are
largely screened by either the steep banks, existing vegetation or a combination
of the two with the exception of the stretch within Willow Park. The quality of the
views vary from low to high, dependent on the presence of large trees and/or
weed species.
5.6 The majority of visually sensitive receptors (generally being residents) are
considered to have a high sensitivity to change, with the exception of Church
goers (medium), Willow Park users (medium), and motorists (low).
6 Effects – Landscape character and Values
Landscape character
6.1 The framework for describing landscape character is divided into the categories
of topography; land cover; built form, structures, and human elements; and
natural character. Section 6(a) of the RMA requires preservation of natural
character, which for the purposes of this report can be seen as a subset of
landscape character. Together these categories combine to create the receiving
‘Landscape Character’.
6.2 Without mitigation the effects on the overall Landscape Character will be minor
resulting from localised vegetation clearance, earthworks and removal of three
dwellings.
6.3 However, the (short term) effects on vegetation with mitigation minimising the
number of large trees being removed will be more than minor, reducing to less
than minor with the proposed planting. The table below is a summary of the
effects, prior to mitigation and post mitigation:
Landscape Character /
Element
Effect (before
mitigation)
Residual Effect (after
mitigation and 5 years
plant growth)
Landscape Character
(Overall effect)
Minor Less than Minor
Topography Less than minor Less than Minor
8037668.2 7
Landscape Character /
Element
Effect (before
mitigation)
Residual Effect (after
mitigation and 5 years
plant growth)
Vegetation More than minor Less than Minor
Waterways More than minor Less than Minor
Built Structures Minor Less than Minor
6.4 Overall, the stream works are considered to have less than minor effects after
mitigation on the existing landscape character and landscape elements along the
alignment. The quality of the receiving environment is mixed with areas of well-
established native vegetation but also areas where there is a high level of
modification and infestation of weed species. The proposed landscape works
combined with the engineering works will improve the amenity of the corridor over
time, but there will be short term more than minor adverse effects when
vegetation is initially removed, and before new plantings become established.
Natural character
6.5 In terms of natural character aspects, the stream channel will be enhanced with
the proposed widening of the stream corridor, given the existing modified nature
of some stream reaches. An open channel will be maintained, with no parts of
the existing open stream proposed to be piped. There are some locations (south
of the Pinehaven / Blue Mountains intersection) where the banks are somewhat
naturalised and rocks in the stream bed are visible but for the most part the
stream channel is modified with either concrete or timber banks. The residual
effects (effects that cannot be mitigated) on natural character aspects are
considered less than minor.
Landscape values (District Plan)
6.6 Landscape values are those classifications and listings which have been
identified in the district plan which relate to Landscape elements.
6.7 In terms of Landscape Values, the proposed works are not located in an
Outstanding Natural Landscape (ONL), with works located in the Residential,
Open Space and Residential Conservation zones of the UHCC District Plan
which do not have any Landscape overlays. I agree with this classification and
8037668.2 8
do not consider the receiving environment to be a ONL or an area worthy of a
special landscape protection overlay.
6.8 The project footprint moves through two Urban Tree Group (Tree Groups 99 and
102) areas, which are within 48 and 50 Blue Mountains Road and 2A Freemans
Way and adjacent to 11 Birch Grove. One Black Beech within Urban Tree Group
99 at 12 Birch Grove and one Black Beech within Tree Group 102 at the reserve
on the corner of Pinehaven and Blue Mountains Road will be removed.
6.9 There are several mature native trees in the immediate area which will not be
affected by the works and can be retained to ensure the amenity of the wider
area is maintained. The southern section of the works, past the intersection with
Pinehaven and Blue Mountains Road, is located in the Residential Conservation
Area. Some trees will be removed as part of the works in this area, including
some well-established native trees. However, given the scale of the proposed
works and the large number of plants which are proposed as mitigation (refer to
the Landscape Concept Plans in Appendix A for details), there will be only a
minor, short term effect on amenity, which reduces to less than minor once new
planting becomes established.
7 Effects – Visual
7.1 In terms of visual effects, the Project will have the greatest visual effects during
construction, with the loss of vegetation and also the work occurring in the stream
both being clearly visible to a number of properties and from public viewpoints.
During construction and prior to mitigation, adverse visual effects are considered
to range from minor through to significant with the residents of 26 and 30-38 Blue
Mountains Road and 10-12 Birch Grove experiencing the largest magnitude of
change.
7.2 Effects will reduce over time with the completion of the works and the
establishment of the proposed landscape planting.1 After 5 years, the residual
visual effects will in my view be minor for the most affected properties (residents
of 26 and 30-38 Blue Mountains Road and 10-12 Birch Grove) but there will still
be some loss of flat land. All other properties will experience less than minor or
indiscernible residual effects.

8 Recommended mitigation
8.1 The mitigation measures outlined in Section 4 of Appendix V (Landscape and
Visual Impact Assessment) and shown in Appendix F (Landscape Plans) to the
AEE are designed to either avoid, remedy or mitigate any potential effects on
Landscape Values, Landscape Character or existing Visual Amenity values. The
plans2 have identified existing significant trees along the corridor and provided for
their retention where shown.
8.2 Since the development of the set of landscape plans shown in the AEE3, the
proposed L2 riparian planting (partially wet)4 is no longer proposed for the
constructed stream bed due to advice from the Hydrological Engineer. The
engineer’s advice was to the effect that any planting (L2) within the stream bed
would have been physically removed during the first major flood event and would
cause issues downstream. Not carrying out the L2 planting will in my view have a
Indiscernible effect on residual landscape, visual or amenity values when
compared to the overall scope of works. The updated landscape plans are
appended to my evidence, dated 5 February 2020 (see Appendix A).
8.3 A concept plan and detailed drawings have been prepared for Willow Park to
ensure pedestrian connectivity is maintained through the space5. The design will
improve access to the water as well as improve the park from a ‘crime prevention
through environmental design’ (‘CPTED’) perspective. The current, narrow and
long (over 60m in length) pedestrian path linking through to Tapestry Grove will
be removed, replaced by a more direct and open link through to Sunbrae Drive.
This constitutes a positive effect or benefit of the Project from a CPTED
perspective.
8.4 While removing significant numbers of weed species along the stream corridor
including bamboo, the proposed landscape plantings are mostly native, with all
native species eco-sourced where possible, combined with some exotic tree
species for amenity purposes. The proposed landscape works, in summary, will
result in the planting of:6
a 134 no. of trees, of which 101 are native species;
b 5,741 no. of native riparian species (L3 mix – rarely wet);
2 AEE, Appendix F 3 AEE, Appendix F. 4 Refer the ‘Plant Palette’ at page 15 of Appendix F. 5 AEE, Appendix F. 6 See Appendix A to my evidence
8037668.2 10
c 1,486 no. of native tree and shrub species (L4 – buffer mix);
d 180 climbers
8.5 The suggested landscape conditions of consent require:
a The retention of existing large trees within the designation, where possible.
Refer to the landscape plans for those trees which are to be retained.7
b Planting of disturbed areas with either riparian or buffer species as per the
landscape plans, 2017_009 /L101-108 revision 7 dated 5 February 2020. All
native species are to be eco-sourced where possible.8
c Planting is to occur in the first available planting season following completion
of the stream improvement works. All areas to be planted are to have at
least a 300-millimetre depth of topsoil. A 24-month establishment period is
recommended to ensure good plant growth is achieved and any failed
plantings can be replaced.9
d Replacement of existing bridges where shown on the General Arrangement
Plans to ensure connectivity (e.g. pedestrian access) is maintained.
e Construction of a path through Willow Park as shown in the landscape
plan10, L102-103, to provide an all-weather access route through to Sunbrae
Drive and Tapestry Grove. The finished height of the path is to be above the
25-year flood event with a new pedestrian bridge required to cross the
stream.11
f Willow Park is to be planted with a mix of exotic and native species to
reduce maintenance costs for grass mowing as well as to mitigate for the
loss of the willow trees.12
9 Responses to issues in submissions
9.1 I have reviewed the submissions lodged in relation to the resource consent
applications for the Project. Where I am able to respond to the matters raised, I
do this below.
7 GWRC Section 42A Report, Appendix 5, Condition 23. 8 GWRC Section 42A Report, Appendix 5, Condition 23 and 33. 9 GWRC Section 42A Report, Appendix 5, Condition 23. 10 AEE, Appendix F. 11 GWRC Section 42A Report, Appendix 5, Condition 22. 12 GWRC Section 42A Report, Appendix 5, Condition 24.
8037668.2 11
Willow Park
9.2 Submitter 1 (Karyn Mills) has raised concerns that the improvement works for
Willow Park will occur and that the willow trees are being cut down. The
submission raises concerns over the concrete areas, disappearance of a local
walkway and no replacement planting of apple or plum trees.
9.3 In response, I note that the Willow Park concept design includes several new
willow trees to be placed, but in locations where they will not affect stream flows.
Willows are a fast-growing species and will quickly establish in this location.
Steps have been designed to provide access to the water edge, are not extensive
in the area that they cover, and have been shown in other locations to provide a
positive amenity to local residents giving access to the water and to feed eels. A
new path is to be established through the park where it will be less susceptible to
flood events and provides improved, safer access. The walkway’s route,
connecting with Sunbrae Cres rather than Tapestry Grove, is considered an
improvement from a CPTED perspective. The existing path runs through a
narrow corridor for over 60m which is not overlooked by adjoining properties, nor
does it provide options for users to easily escape if they were to become
entrapped.
9.4 With the exception of the willows and some street trees, all plantings are native
species. The intention is provide plants we know will establish well in the area
with limited maintenance requirements. For this reason, apple and plum trees
were not included in the proposed palette.
9.5 Submitter 4 (Deborah Griffiths) has raised concerns that the removal of trees will
have adverse effects on her view as well as adverse privacy effects. I agree
there will be some localised, short term effects on privacy and changes to views
where existing trees and vegetation will be removed as part of the works. This
has been acknowledged in the Landscape and Visual impact assessment report
with proposed landscape plantings designed to re-establish vegetation along the
stream corridor as quickly as possible.
Silverstream Reformed Church
9.6 Submitter 10 (David Kyle) raised concerns about the deposition of excavated
material at the Silverstream Reformed Church and associated privacy effects on
local residents.
8037668.2 12
9.7 The fill proposed to be deposited on the Silverstream Reformed Church site is no
longer proposed to be included in the Project works.13
10 Response to section 42A report
10.1 I have read the UHCC’s Section 42A report and agree with its conclusions and
proposed conditions. I consider the proposed landscape conditions appropriate.
11 Conclusions
11.1 In terms of landscape elements and character, residual effects (with mitigation
approximately 5 years after construction works finish) will be less than minor.
11.2 The proposal will have less than minor adverse effects on landscape values as
identified in the District Plan with the loss of some trees in a Protected Urban
Tree Group.
11.3 In terms of visual effects, the proposal will have the greatest visual effects on the
residents of 26, 30-38 Blue Mountains Road and 10-12 Birch Grove who will all
experience minor residual adverse effects (i.e. with mitigation) due to their
proximity to stream widening works. With mitigation, the residual effects for these
residents will reduce to minor once vegetation is established after approximately
five years, but there will still be some loss of flat land. All other residual visual
effects are less than minor or Indiscernible.
11.4 Overall I consider the residual effects of the proposal acceptable.
