Generative site design for New Zealand lots

Address

Site setup setbacks, driveway, easements, sun

Setbacks

Filled from the Christchurch District Plan where the site is in Christchurch, and a placeholder everywhere else. A transcription, not a legal reading — check it before you rely on it. Editable either way.

Driveway

Widthm

No council or national dataset holds private driveways, so this is geometry, not observation — a corridor from the frontage to the building. Trace the real one for anything that matters.

Easements

Assumed widthm

You cannot build over an easement, so the strip comes out of the envelope. The council publishes the line but not the width — that is on the deposited plan — so this figure is an assumption.

Sun

Storeys

Sampled hourly from 9am to 3pm on the solstice, on flat ground. Full sun is never overshadowed, deep shade always is. Christchurch buildings carry measured LiDAR heights and ignore the storey count above; it is the fallback everywhere else.

Plan

Dimension the boundary and buildings

Boundary lines carry length and whole-circle bearing, the way a title plan states them. Edges under 3 m are left untagged.
