Request for a copy of the Construction Plans for Condition B of SR254721 certified under SR286407

Naomi Steenkamp made this Official Information request to Wellington City Council

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Wellington City Council should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Naomi Steenkamp

Dear Wellington City Council,

Please provide a copy of the Construction Plans (document or documents) that were to have been supplied to the Council's Vehicle Access Engineer for approval prior to the commencement of works on the site as per Condition B of SR254721 (and its subsequent certification under SR286407).

This condition was suggested by Patricia Wood in file reference 1795294 Vehicle Access Assessment inside dated 9/05/2016 inside of SR254721.

The 223/224 certification (SR286407) was peer reviewed by Jonathan Anderson who "cleared" condition (b) Vehicle Access dated 9/07/2013 Clearance Memo (document 2339622) - please provide the documentation / information / photo that was supplied to deem the condition (b) satisfied please (including the actual Construction Plans approved, prior to any construction of those rights of way).

Please also supply the document "2050638" referenced in the Clearance Memo (2339622) inside of SR286407.

Please supply the Council Compliance Officer's notes or photos taken during their on-site visit (visits) to check compliance specifically with Condition (b) of SR254721 in 2013.

If no documentation exists please provide an explanation as to why this Condition was considered to be complied with, without the necessary evidence?

Please also provide an explanation why Document "2050638" shows vehicle access was cleared under SR411987 consent and its certification under SR424915 in early 2019 - meaning Council were happy with access provisions for the alotments created under that subdivision consent, and yet by April of 2021 suddenly that very same Vehicle Access Engineer (who completed all assessments for the 2013, 2018 and 2021 consents) suddenly decided under s92 Further Information to "fix" access for a neighbour inside of a separate resource consent whereby a) none of the proposed new alotments required that easement for access, b) no earthworks were proposed, c) no new easements were required or being created, and d) nothing was changing in relation to the existing access arrangements for others certified under previous consents.

Thanks for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Naomi Steenkamp
