Neighbours' dispute over fence on shifting grounds in beachside settlement
Stuff - Golden Bay: 30-Sep-2023
On one side Gary Waghorn is upset his neigbour's fence is too high. On the other side Mark Ahearn says it’s not a fence, but a screen for plants to grow on.
In the middle, the Tasman District Council has wrestled with the question and now can’t determine if the fence is in breach or not, because the contours of the land have been altered on each side.
It all started in 2021 when Ahearn built a house – that will feature in the next season of Grand Designs - in the Golden Bay beach settlement of Ligar Bay.
