Puroto St – we have not been given a shading study for this propertySlide14
Impacts
The design is out of character with the area and reminiscent from the 1950's/60's
Significant social impact on the community especially elderly neighbours
Already two large rental accommodations within 100 metres
Land is not fit for the purpose of low cost budget housing
Minimum building code is not suitable
No mixed ownership to allow for first/second home buyers
We anticipate due to poor design a deterioration of the property and streetscape within a few years
Poor design will affect the tenants quality of living, especially the open staircase and walkways
This is the land and showpiece of the people of
Orakei
, we deserve to have a design that the community respect. It is the boards role and our role as guardians to protect and make sure that the community does not lose that right.
Infringes in a number of areas which we consider to be more than “minor”
The design needs to be referred by council to the urban design panel for review Slide15
If we get it wrong here,
we get it wrong for good.
