[phillip30]

Hi All, I would appreciate anyone's feedback on the requirements for a trench that will need to contain 2 x storm water and 2 x water lines, which will run under a drive way. in particular, I want to clarify the back filling requirements when running these services under a driveway - I have talked...

I own section 14A of a property under a crosslease, while 14B is owned by someone else. There is a driveway which only provides access to the...

Hi all

I've searched this forum and called several concrete layers but can't seem to find a concrete contractor that can handle both the install of a new vehicle crossing and the application process with Auckland Transport. There are two driveways to go in, but one of the vehicle crossings...

The tenant complained that some trees were over-hanging the driveway and interfering with the power line.

So me, a step ladder and my trusty handsaw head on out to see what the problem is and, sure enough, some branches are leaning on the power line between the road and the house....

I'm trying to figure out if the dimensions of my existing driveway will allow me to use it for access to a rear site if I subdivide. (I really hope so as there's no other option without moving the house). I'm in Te Atatu Peninsula, and I know from Auckland Council's website that the drive has to have...

Hi,

I want to subdivide and building a new house on the back of my property (in Auckland). I'm hoping to use the existing driveway as access for the rear property, but I think this might "violate" the rules of the unitary plan.

Specifically, the driveway is hard...

Hi,

I'm considering subdividing and building a new house on the back of the property (in Auckland). I want to use the existing driveway to service the rear property, but I think it's slightly too narrow where it goes past the existing house. (The Unitary Plan says driveways need to be 3m...

Hi Guys

I'm wanting to get our driveway and a carport region (roughly 100 square m) concreted. Currently just has compacted gravel which moves over time and messes everything up which I'm getting sick of.

Anyway - I've got a couple of quotes and they have WILD variation amongst...

Hi Guys

Just a question here; at the end of last year we hired a contractor in to remove some trees from our backyard; during the process his heavy digger cracked our entire driveway and we had to get it replaced.

There was months of going back and forth with the disputes tribunal...

Hi,

Has anyone gone down the track of removing an easement from a shared driveway. I see that the district court has the power to do this.

The driveway is 6.12 meters wide so each share is 3.06 meters which is ample for any trucks etc.
This would allow me to fence my...

My family live in an "bush living environment" up a steep driveway shared by three properties, fortunately we have a positive easement across our neighbours properties - last house of three on the drive.

The neighbour whose property is directly next to us (in the middle of three)...

Hi property folk

I'm considering building a 2nd house on a plot of land I own in Hamilton. The tricky thing is, the access for the 2nd house would be way easier if it could come off a neighbour's driveway, from a different street. Their driveway is already just on their side of our boundary...
