    yes Kiora,

    Dlownz, No i’m saying it looks like either hes messed up and getting moved closer to the exit (unlikely) or there has been and under staffing or not appropriate consideration / planning / oversight which looks like they are acknowledging with this promotion and new key hire to make sure that situation doesn’t happen again.

    A few things going on at this site.
    Unrealistic time frames.
    Not thinking about the next person coming in. I could go on.
    I have heard that they are 25 to 30 percent over budget for each build.
    They are trying to cut cost on everything and it's now costing them big time.
    There own construction company has not proven to do a very good job.

    And the layout is the worst I have seen EVER it's like coronation Street. Overpriced and a very substandard build.

    Paywalled. Neighbors getting very hot under the collar about Ryman's proposed Kohimarama development.

    Reading the article, the crux of their argument is that Ryman's design pushes (they use the emote term, smashes) through the 11m height restriction for the zone, and that this will provide the precedent required to enable all residential zones of the same type to have taller limits.

    From the supplied quotes, I do not think these residents understand how a unitary or district plan works. The 11m stipulation for that zone does not represent that maximum height limit, instead it represents a height under which a building would be automatically permissible (assuming it meets the other criteria). Anything exceeding this will require further analysis and a resource consent. If Ryman are successful, this does not necessarily create a precedent for other areas of Auckland with the same zoning as applications for development will be evaluated (amongst other things) on the basis of the surrounding area.

    Building recession planes etc. will still be in place to protect the surrounding residents from overshadowing etc.

    Of course NIMBYs don’t understand unitary plans / zoning and all that

    Hope they lose the sun and their views ...Kohi NIMBYs are the worst

    Ryman are the masters of working their way through the issues and coming out with a bunch of roses on the other side, SUM others are stuck forever up Boulcott St.

    Coronation Street style terraces would surpass the standards of many NZ residential developments and houses. They are solid and well constructed with access to both the front and back for refuse collection and servicing etc. Terraced houses of Coronation Street standard today are usually insulated, double glazed and centrally heated. The party walls let through less sound than the thinner walls found in many NZ home units or apartments. Fibre and broadband service many UK suburbs and "coronation street" suburbs have good access to public transport, shopping and parks. In addition the affordability of housing to income level of housing of that size and quality would make many an aspiring Auckland home-owner weep.

    There is worse housing in both NZ and the UK than "Coronation Street" style terraced houses.

    I guess Kohi Nimbys are more likely to be professionals who know how to try to fight when their amenities, rights and right to peaceful enjoyment of their purchased property - as it was zoned when they purchased their properties - are taken away without adequate compensation.
