<strong>The</strong> pros and cons of<br />
building sites<br />
When selecting a building site weigh up your lifestyle, family<br />
needs and aspirations before signing up for any section.<br />
Those purchasing early on in the<br />
development of a subdivision will<br />
have more choice of section size and<br />
orientation to the street and sun. As the<br />
individual sites are sold, there may be<br />
less availability though this need not be a<br />
deterrent. With good design any building<br />
site can be made to work.<br />
Selwyn has experienced considerable<br />
growth in recent years. Sub-divisions<br />
have opened up and been built on, with<br />
new developments regularly coming on<br />
stream. Within these, section sizes vary<br />
from around 400 square metres upwards<br />
to 5,000 square metres. Lifestyle blocks<br />
are also scattered around the district.<br />
<strong>The</strong> size of the house and amount of<br />
yard desired will influence the feasibility<br />
of some building sites as will sun and<br />
wind direction, bearing in mind that a<br />
house can be designed to capture the<br />
sun’s free heat and allow for pleasant<br />
outdoor areas to enjoy.<br />
If the street side of the building site is<br />
north/north west, incorporating fenced<br />
or planted courtyards can offer private<br />
places to entertain and bask in the sun.<br />
Those wanting street presence or keen<br />
on gardening may prefer a corner section<br />
and while it might seem they offer less<br />
privacy, with strategic placement of<br />
fences quite the opposite can be the case.<br />
Weigh up your family’s needs in terms<br />
of the outdoor areas too. Do you want<br />
play areas for your children? Do you<br />

have a need for off-street parking for a<br />
number of vehicles and space for a boat,<br />
caravan or motorhome, which may need<br />
to be parked out of site of the street?<br />
How much lawn or garden do you want?<br />
<strong>Star</strong>t by identifying housing<br />
developments that you like and could see<br />
your family living in. Think also about<br />
the convenience of shops and other<br />
amenities, something that may or may<br />
not be a concern.<br />
Single out possible sections then talk<br />
with a designer or builder. Most building<br />
companies have a good selection of<br />
standard plans as a starting point and<br />
they will usually work with a client to<br />
modify a plan or draw up one that will<br />
work on a particular building site, whilst<br />
also containing the components the<br />
client is seeking within their new home.<br />
Before signing up for any building<br />
site, check the Council land zoning and<br />
recession plane requirements as well as<br />
covenants for the sub-division. <strong>The</strong>se will<br />
show not only how far from a boundary<br />
the house can be sited but also roof<br />
height, permissible building materials,<br />
and acceptable types of fencing, as well as<br />
what can be on view from the street like<br />
a clothes line, caravan or motorhome.<br />
Conducting your research first will save<br />
any frustration or hassles later.<br />
All sections are workable, it is simply<br />
a matter of choosing one that matches<br />
your specific needs.<br />
