Landbank announcements in themselves are of limited value until resource consent is obtained, remember only one new village coming on stream over the next 6 months punters paying a lot at current prices for next 2 quarters results.
Bear in mind Central and Local governments are doing all they can to increase housing density close to the cities; both this and the St Johns sites will be prime candidates. I don't foresee any consenting issues.

Neither do I but the Boulcott site has been the big problem.
So basically, your argument about the newly acquired site held no weight? Nice.
But I never had an argument about the newly acquired site NG so its got nothing to do with holding weight or not, have you been drinking? My argument was about land being dead until resource consent is obtained and Sum previously have showed a certain arrogance toward certain local councils and residents which can slow down or stop resource consent from ever being obtained in a worst case scenario

I guess there is always a risk the planning approval for a village could be thwarted in some way. From memory, the Boulcott development in the Hutt was in a special character residential area and the original Summerset plans were relying on a zoning change.
I think one of the reasons why Nimbyism has a loud voice is because of the inadequacy of and difficulty getting compensation under the RMA and the PWA for neighbours affected by zoning changes, dispensations granted to developers and public works. Compensation provisions need an overhaul.
Bjauck Sum didn't want to budge on the design of the facility which has caused the most angst amongst the local residents which is why there is a 120 strong lobby group fighting them currently.

Its amazing that this fiasco is still ongoing after all this time isn't it. Must be nearly two years now ?
