Developer to revisit complex plans<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
COMMUNITY concern over<br />
a shopping and entertainment<br />
complex in Church Bay has<br />
forced a rethink on how it will<br />
look.<br />
Spence Developments wants<br />
to build a supermarket and<br />
111-space car park, four shops, a<br />
cafe and a 30-seat cinema at 139-<br />
143 Marine Drive, behind the<br />
On the Spot store.<br />
The Church Bay<br />
Neighbourhood Association<br />
has expressed misgivings<br />
about whether the building<br />
would fit in to the semi-rural<br />
environment.<br />
Corrugated iron, timber<br />
or stone were suggested as<br />
alternatives to the proposed<br />
tilt-slab construction<br />
materials.<br />
Association secretary Pat<br />
Pritchett said they had been in<br />
touch with Spence Developments<br />
to give their feedback.<br />
She was pleased at the designs<br />
would now be revisited.<br />
“I hope they’re looking at not<br />
using tilt slab as part of that. It’s<br />
good to know they’ve listened to<br />
the community and I hope they<br />
continue to do so,” she said.<br />
Spence Developments was<br />
planning to lodge a resource<br />
consent application with the<br />
city council this month but<br />
community reaction to the look<br />
and size of the development<br />
along with concerns over access<br />
points have led to the project<br />
being pushed back by a month.<br />
Development spokesman,<br />
planning consultant James<br />
Hook, said a “revised site<br />
plan and elevations” would be<br />
released in two weeks.<br />
He was still optimistic<br />
resource consent would<br />
be lodged before Christmas.<br />
