It never ceases to amaze how often boundary disputes escalate and become major problems. I guess one can understand when property (and view aspect) values are high - as in this case:- Stuff - 29-Sept-2015
Some sage advise on any neighbourly disagreement could be that at the end of the day, the neighbour will still be your neighbour (unless one of you moves!) and chances are you will coincide often as you both go about your business, and maybe one day you may need to rely upon the other in times of need....
The other issue here is the lack of certainty or clear application of the rules by the Council. |

But wait, there is more (details and photos). Update - Stuff 1-Oct-2015
OK, this may be a "first world problem" and possibly of greater impact due to the location and property value - but the key issue yet to be clearly addressed is the Council interpretation of the elevation at which the recession plane 'boundary' starts.
One party is right, and the other wrong - but which one? |

This isn't really about boundaries or planning rules its about people behaving badly and it usually takes two.

While there is no doubt that the impact on the plaintiff is very severe and the Council's actions unfortunate, I wonder if this hyperbole, which verges on the hysterical (if the quote is not completely out of context, which would hardly be surprising for this news organisation) will really help their case.

And now the discussion gets technically interesting - for a surveyor that is. Stuff - 16 March 2016
Perhaps the complexity (or grey area) around the starting level for the recession plane determination may be clarified for us all. |

For those of you riveted to the fence vs fort vs harbour view saga in Roseneath, Wellington - the latest instalment regarding the costs appeal is reported in: Stuff - 4-July-2017
Of surveying interest is the comment about the fence being "on or next to the boundary", thus implying that the key factor in the dispute was the relationship of the structure to the legal boundary.
Also of note are the final comments regarding the Environment Court planning rules being upheld; and the Council deciding not to appeal that decision.
But I don't think this is the last we will hear about this.... |

Appeal Against Costs: Some people may like a saga, but I presume the landowners/neighbours involved in this particular one would rather the whole thing ends with a sensible and (dare I say it) "neighbourly" outcome....
