Subdivision lots' consent bans cats

No cats, "reared, raised or kept", would be allowed on any of Royalburn Farming Company's 11 lots recently granted consent by the Environment Court.

Judge Laurie Newhook issued a corrigendum on November 24 after the November 11 decision on the subdivision beside the Crown Range Rd.

The original decision listed 16 conditions, but Judge Newhook said a further five conditions had been omitted.

Following a hearing in Queenstown between August 2 and 4, Judge Newhook and Environment Commissioners Ross Dunlop and Charles Manning granted consent for the revised subdivision, subject to the now 21 conditions.

The additional conditions included a covenant to ensure there were no cats on any of the lots.

Another covenant was to be registered against all the residential lots created by the subdivision "providing that none of the owners or occupiers shall complain against or in any way restrict the ongoing legitimate farming activities occurring within the balance lot, or within the balance of Royalburn Farm".

A third covenant was to be registered on several lots to ensure they continued to be managed in productive farming and pastoral states and not be further subdivided and there was no residential development.

Also included in the additional conditions was the requirement for an archaeological assessment before earthworks began.

At 483ha Royalburn Farm occupies about a third of the Crown Terrace - about 138ha is northeast of the Crown Range Rd, with the balance south of the road.

The company originally applied to subdivide 20 lots to provide rural lifestyle allotments, each with a building platform.
