§ 27. Mr. Cordleasked the Minister of Aviation whether he will give an assurance that no further development at the radome site at Steamer Point, Friars 418 Cliff, Christchurch, will proceed without consultation with the local authority; and that steps will be taken to avoid any further encroachment on the amenities of local residents.
§ Mr. SnowThe local authority will be consulted, as in the past, on new developments. Steamer Point is planned to continue in use as a site for telecommunications research and development, but it is not expected that this will encroach upon local amenities.
§ Mr. CordleWill the Parliamentary Secretary bear in mind the deprecating effect of this development on local property values and on adjacent thoroughfares, particularly Seaway Avenue, which has traffic which is ten times greater than before the development took place?
§ Mr. SnowConsultations took place with the local authority, in conformity with the Minister of Housing and Local Government's Circular No. 100, and continuing consultations will take place if objections of that nature are raised.
