Bureta supermarket plans hit wall
Plans to build a Countdown supermarket in Bureta have hit a wall, with a commissioner declining to grant a resource consent.
In a decision released today Commissioner David Hall said the adverse traffic effects of the proposed development would not be minor, and the intensification of commercial activity in a residentially zoned area was inappropriate.
Progressive Enterprises Ltd had wanted to establish a supermarket, retail shops, a liquor store on the site currently occupied by the Bureta Park Motor Inn.
Progressive's plan would have seen the Motor Inn and Mill liquorstore removed to make way for the Countdown supermarket.
