School Not Allowed
An appeal by the Waiamiri County Council against the Ministry of Works using nine acres and a half in Withells Road, Avonhead, for an intermediate school, was allowed by the Special Town and Country Planning Appeal Board in a reserved decision given yesterday. At the hearing on April 28, the board, Messrs J. H. Luxford, R. R. Beaumont and L. P. Blunt, was told that the land, owned by the Crown, was mostly in the rural zone and that the Canterbury Eduation Board had not been allowed to build a school just outside the urban fence at Baisweil when the appeal board heard an application last June. The board was told last week that to change the site to the berry farm on the other side of Withells Road would cost at least $lOO,OOO more, and that the opening of the new school would be delayed.
