Home numbers slashed in revised Bayswater plan The number of residential units proposed for the Bayswater marina reclamation development has been substantially reduced in revised plans lodged last week. Original plans for 119 dwellings (27 apartments and 92 terraced houses) have been cut back to a proposal for 78 homes
(18 apartments and 60 terraced houses). Building coverage over the land has consequently reduced – from 7534 sqm (22 per cent) to 4866 sqm (14.5 per cent). The original Bayswater Marina Holdings Limited (BMHL) consent application was stymied when Auckland Council
officers withdrew support at the end of a week-long hearing in September, citing evidence regarding a lack of marina and marine-related activities, as required in the marine-precinct zoning. An area of 4981 sqm has now been set aside for these activities. To page 8
