High Density Residential (Suva Street)

John from Upper Riccarton

This is what is permissible around my house HRZ (Mustard colour)
1. On the North 3m up from boundary and angle of 50degrees with 12m height limit.
1.5m set back
If 14 m has to be set back 6m
Up to 50% site coverage.
2. East and West 1m from boundary.
Recession plane 60 degrees taken from 3 m. Maximum 12 m high
50% coverage.
Separate buildings have to be 10m apart
I estimate that the angle from the bottom of the French doors to the top of the neighbouring building would be 29 degrees
The East side would get zero sun
The West side would get sun above 76 degrees (I think)
I removed the original picture as building on east side was incorrect.
Note the sun chart. Anything below 30 degrees gets no sun. So in 3 weeks the sun retreats from the dining room floor.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
