From the QLDC website - Olive Leaf Centre Trust (RM170844)
Resource consent is sought is sought to establish a multi-purpose building within the setting of the St Patricks Church (listed heritage building Ref # 370) that breaches building bulk and location standards, and to undertake associated earthworks. The multi-purpose building is to be used for residential and non-residential (primarily community and presbytery) purposes, and consent is sought for associated hours of operation, to breach noise, and transport standards at 7 Hertford Street, Arrowtown
Why do both Visitors and Residents love the atmosphere of Arrowtown ?
The retained authenticity of the main street and historical residential area of Arrowtown is the result is the result of 30 years of District Plan Rules, Arrowtown Design Guidelines, Community Workshops, input from the Arrowtown Planning Advisory Group and the QLDC Urban Planning Group and the application of these rules and guidelines by QLDC Planners. There has been no push to remove the rules or loosen the guidelines over that time. In fact the 2016 Arrowtown Guideline revision is stricter than the 2006 version.
Conclusion
The "look and feel" of the Arrowtown main street and historic residential area is what the Arrowtown and wider QLDC public want and what Visitors enjoy so much.
The very unusual leaf shape form, height, amount of glass, Gaudi style decoration and location of the proposed Leaf Centre right beside historic St Patrick's church in Hereford St DOES NOT fit within the District Plan rules, Arrowtown Design Guidelines and current Arrowtown planning implementations.
If this controversial building was approved it would set a set a dangerous precedent for other future projects and run the risk of altering the "look and feel" of Arrowtown forever.
