Neighbours at war take shady dispute to Supreme Court
Stuff - Lifestyle: 7-Sept-2022
Two Ponsonby locals attempted to take a dispute to the highest court in the land, in order to stop the development of a central Auckland villa that would throw shade on one of their properties.
Documentary maker and author Keith Hunter first challenged his neighbour’s plans to extend his Ardmore Rd villa in 2018.
“I told him I would fight him with everything I could, with everything that I had,” Hunter said.
Real estate agent Philip Burley planned to lift his villa 30cm, shift it back 1.5m, and extend it, which would block sunlight from Hunter’s north-facing lower level of his house.
