This report Stuff: 14-July-2019 describes a rear-yard subdivision that appears to extend to the limits of the property boundary and building/planning rule envelopes.
In fact, it would even appear that the retaining wall works have extended into the adjoining neighbours property - "The pink string illustrates how far the excavation has come on to the Herberts' land."
Notwithstanding that the reported consent allowed for some cut and a retaining wall - what is silent (in the report) is:
- what was the consented allowance for drainage (and backfill)?
- what happened to the Council inspections?
- will there be retrospective consents - or penalties - for the additional cut?
- and what about the "rights of support" for the neighbours land?
Whatever eventuates, the neighbourly relationships will never recover from such an event....
