It was around the 25m boundary rule for rural properties where you can't build any closer without requesting consent, a significant extra cost. I openly questioned the rule, as my neighbour to be had a 50m wide section and asked him bluntly who came up with it, and why.
The answer was interesting, he didn't know, nor was there much information on the reasoning behind it. The most important point though is that even if council wanted to change it now, they couldn't because during the time the now operative plan went into consultation there were no submissions on that rule, hence even if they wanted to change it, there is no mechanism to allow that to happen.
Now whether that's the fault of Whakatane District council or the resource management act isn't really relevant, what is relevant is that when they put the next plan out for consultation then make sure you read and do your best to understand the parts relevant to you, and if you have a problem then submit on it. Yes, I know the plan runs to 700+ pages, and much of it makes a dictionary exciting but it determines what council and land owners can and cannot do.
I would add in closing that my experience recently when dealing with planning staff has been pretty good both as a property owner and real estate agent, if you want to know something then walk into the council offices and ask them, I have and it was worth the time and effort involved.

Hey neighbours,
What are your thoughts on tenants paying letting fees? Housing Minister Phil Twyford has put forward a bill that would ban landlords from charging letting fees to tenants. Is the bill a good idea? Let us know in our poll below.

Hey neighbours,
Did you know 230 horses could be slaughtered next month if they aren't rescued in time? Of the 300 wild Kaimanawa horses in need of rescuing, only 66 have homes to go to. Are you able to support the cause?
