We love receiving positive feedback ❤️

“It’s been a long road to get here but we can finally pop this bottle of champagne that has been patiently waiting for 18 months- and I can hand on heart say that we have only got here thanks to Burnette at The Planning Collective.

We purchased a plot of land over a year ago, and somewhat naively didn’t realise the intricacies involved with it, and the difficulties we would face to obtain a Resource Consent. Cue Burnette. She stepped in, with her extensive knowledge, her impressive efficiency, her impeccable attention to detail and her patience. Not only did she get our Resource Consent signed, sealed and delivered, but she also managed to secure our ideal living space for our family, while protecting the beautiful native fauna of our property that we fell in love with.

Thanks to Burnette and team, we met our pre-approval deadline, and can finally start building our forever home for our kids to grow up in. We are so grateful that we were recommended The Planning Collective; Burnette and her team are a force to be reckoned with, and we are beyond grateful that they were on our side.”

Non-complying resource consent (land use, water permit and subdivision) obtained for the construction and use of 58 two and three-story residential dwellings in duplex and terraced typologies along with associated car parking and vehicular access arrangements, enabling earthworks and development standard non-compliances in the Future Urban zone.

Auckland Council agreed with Burnette O'Connor and the wider team that while zoned Future Urban, the subject site was unique in that it is located in very close proximity to, and within the same immediate catchment as, existing urban zoned and residentially developed land and in close proximity to a range of retail, commercial, educational and recreational facilities. McKinney Road, by virtue of running along a ridgeline, provides a natural level of separation with the Future Urban zoned land to the south, further emphasising the ‘urban feel’ of the subject site.

This project was not without its challenges, as neighbours objected to the plans and appealed against the resource consent, but extensive consultation and negotiation resulted in a mutually agreed settlement. A great outcome - we are proud to have been involved.
