enjoyment of Lot 5.

The scale and intensity of development in this location has the greatest impact on Howen’s use and

 

 

The proposed development has a major impact on views from indoor and outdoor areas at both upper
and lower levels of the house on Lot 5.

In part, this is due to the particular positioning of the proposed buildings on Lot 1, but it is also due to
the very steep slopes over which Lot 5 currently enjoys views.

To assist the Council in understanding the extent of this impact a series of figures has been prepared
and are attached:

i) Figure 2 comprises an aerial photograph from 21 July 2010 identifying Lots 1 and 5 and also
identifying various tide marks and wave positions.

ii) Figure 3:

e Superimposes the proposed plans of the development (derived from the LandGraphics site
plan submitted with the application) over the cadastral information;

e Derives a line identified as Section e which relates to one of the sections provided in the
architectural plans in the application;

e Extends the line of Section E to west into Lot 5 and to the east into the Pacific Ocean;
calculates distances shown in the small table bottom right of Map 2 which identifies the
distance between the intersect of the common boundary between Lots 1 and 5 and Section E.

iii) Figure 4 then utilises Section E from the architectural plans and aligns it with the LandGraphics
plan and a tidal line and wave line.

Based on the analysis in Figure 4, it is clear that the result of building in the location proposed on Lot 1
will result in:

i) Almost a complete loss of view from the lower deck of the house on Lot 5 (internal spaces are
worse);

ii) Almost a complete loss of view of the beach and areas where waves are breaking at the middle
level deck (once again internal spaces are worst). A view from the middle deck to the beach is
provided overleaf, albeit in poor weather conditions.

The key factors giving rise to the extent of the impact are:

i) The location of the bulk of building in the south-west corner; and

ii) The inclusion of high parapet walls on the roof of the building.

 

a) While Howen anticipated that a house would eventually be constructed Lot 5, the owners did not
anticipate that on a lot size of almost 1ha in area that the bulk of the proposed building would be
located on the slopes immediately to its east.

b) Howen anticipated that there would be some impact, but that the building would be located more
centrally on that part of the site clear of coastal management controls.
