Key Issues Report of the Porirua City Council - Environmental ...

6.14 The approved subdivision (RC4136) of 850A Paekakariki Hill Road, is to be
undertaken in three stages creating seven allotments. Stage one, being the
creation of Lot 2 DP 389851, has been completed leaving the balance lot being
Pt Lot 101 DP 389851. Approved Lot 7 was covered by the original
Transmission Gully Designation and has been acquired by the New Zealand
Transport Agency. There are a remainder of five allotments still to be created.
An extension of time 12 has been granted for giving effect to this subdivision
resource consent. Based on the issuing of an extension of time it is considered
that it is likely that this subdivision will be given effect to and therefore the
existence of five additional allotments, rather than the present one, can be taken
into account in assessing the effects of the Transpower proposal upon the
adjoining receiving environment. For the same reasons as outlined in paragraph
6.13 it is considered that it would be inappropriate to consider future potential
buildings as forming part of the environment.
6.15 Given the nature of the resource consents that have been granted and the
separation distance of the sites on which they are located from the proposed
transmission line, it is not considered that the ability to give effect to them will
be affected by the Transpower proposal. Furthermore it should still be feasible
to construct a dwelling on each of the new allotments likely to be created
despite the presence of the relocated transmission lines because of this
separation distance.
