Styx mill ‘ideal’ for project
By
HELEN MCLEAN
The size of the Styx Mill area and its proximity to the city made it an ideal spot for the proposed rural lifestyle development, the Planning Tribunal was told in Christchurch yesterday. The Carter Group’s managing director, Mr Philip Carter, said the 36hectare site would provide “privacy and the quality of life” the people buying the sections would be looking for.
He said the development would enhance the Styx Mill Basin recreation area and the whole community would benefit. The company would impose its own architectural controls and supervise the design and appearance of the buildings. The number of houses built on some lots would be restricted. Mr Carter said the sections would cater for families wanting their parents to live on the same site in a separate house, but allowing two houses to be built on all sections would defeat the aim of the development. Mr Graham Halstead, a nearby land-owner opposing the project, was concerned about the waterways, ponds and bridal paths proposed for the development.
Mr Carter said these would be designed so as not to be hazardous to stock or children.
He said the bridle paths might be available to the community as well as the occupants of the sections. Earlier evidence, page 17
