Hi everyone, two months ago I posted about my friends business and she has had such a lovely response from Neighbourly, thank you all so much!
I just wanted to share the nails she did for me today.

Sonia trained in gel nails in 2005, and after taking a break to have her children, she has recently opened a home studio.

To update her portfolio, she is offering very reasonable rates.
Look her up on Facebook as Gelz by Sonia, or email at soniabrougham@yahoo.co.nz.

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.

Submissions on the Housing Intensification Legislation.

Jim from Bryndwr

If you are a home owner or wish to become one or you rent a home you will have opinions on what you would like your surrounding environment to be like.

If you wish to purchase you will want to know what could be built next door. If you own a home you would have chosen where to purchase based upon the zoning rules and would never have envisaged that zone to change. It is proposed that this is going to happen. To make a submission, and you should, go to ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay . There is apparently information at the libraries as well. Nb, this intensification legislation is being forced upon all tier one cities in NZ by the Government and if adopted will result in far more losers than winners. One of the reasons for the legislation is to make housing more affordable, it won't, affordability is market driven. More buyers, price increases and prices decrease with less buyers as per the apartment market at present. In making a submission maybe talk to your neighbours or friends. If you wish to know what new zone you will be in there is an interactive map, most of suburban Chch is in the new zone ie Medium Density Zone. 11 meters high one meter off your Northern boundary !! Not flash is it!

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?

Christchurch’s economic development agency says it’s “very happy” with the country’s inaugural Sail Grand Prix (SailGP) last week, despite feedback about a lack of a windfall for Lyttelton businesses over the two days of racing.

Australian men’s lifestyle website, Man Of Many, declared: “Move over, Auckland; Christchurch is giving you a run for your money as New Zealand’s capital of cool.” Read the full story from reporter Steven Walton here and tell us if you agree Christchurch is the "capital of cool" in the comments below (and why or why not).
