Policy 10 of the NPSET requires that councils, through their district plans, manage third-party development and activities that are sensitive to the effects of the electricity transmission network and development and activities that would compromise the operation, maintenance, upgrading and development of the electricity transmission network. Policy 11 requires that councils consult with the operator of the national grid to identify an appropriate buffer corridor.
