Two homes on a busy section of Whangaparaoa Rd, opposite Coast Plaza and next to Whangaparaoa College, are up for sale as a single lot of 2208sqm, with resource consent already granted to build 20 townhouses.
The same sites – 694 and 696 Whangaparaoa Rd – were on the market in 2017, with a concept plan for a block of 49 apartments and three retail stores (HM June 14, 2017).
The land is zoned for high density housing. Traffic information supplied with the resource consent application notes: “… the proposal will result in an increase of potential vehicle movements to the local road network … by approximately 180 vehicle movements.
The network is currently congested at peak traffic times and the development is expected to further contribute to this.
However, the zoning appears to allow for this level of development and the long-term plan has a number of proposals to address this.”
The sites are being marketed by Barfoot & Thompson. There will be more details in the next edition of Hibiscus Matters, out July 1.
