Amenity at this distance, not a constraint
Too far away to matter: nearest powerline 1.6 km · nearest lake 2.2 km · nearest rail 15.6 km.
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
