An application for a 21-lot subdivision, earthworks, and construction of 20 dwellings at 14 Ngarara Road is with the KCDC.
The property was sold in September 2023 so it’s pretty obvious the buyer was a property developer. The land area is 4864 sq metres (the existing house occupies about 10% of that.) Dividing 4864 by 21 is 231 sq metre lots on average, so they will need to be smaller houses than is typical if there is going to be one house on each. Presumably one lot is intended for “communal space”?
No decision has been made yet on it, however, we wonder how neighbours will feel about having a commune developed next to them. We were alerted to this by Cr Nigel Wilson who is very unhappy and comments: “it is scandalous. I raised it at council during the week. it is already carnage setting in from the very poorly designed Plan Change 2.”
Will the Resource Consent, assuming it is granted as applied for, be notified, meaning people can lodge objections? Nigel says, “It better be. There are plenty of questions about the process so far.”
The street frontage now.
Watch this space.
I think it will be a pack and stack and most likely has the rapturous blessing of Miss 15-minute city herself, Sophie Handford, whose sophistry at public meetings fools no-one. At least Nigel Wilson appears to have some form of conscience.
Kapiti is being totally destroyed and will become a shit hole like Wellington. Wellington is so ugly now – I hate going there.
The worst part of this is that it’s in the garden zone which even Guru as mayor wanted to protect. Ms Handford is a totally indoctrinated Leftist.
