Dunns Crossing Rd, Rolleston, residents Gordon Chamberlain and Gary Smith do not want to be sandwiched by higher density subdivisions if they are not able to subdivide. Photo: Geoff SloanResidents on the outskirts of west Rolleston want to be included in potential rezoning plans as the town boundary extends by thousands of homes. The residents on Dunns Crossing Rd, between Burnham School Rd and Brookside Rd, say they will be “landlocked” on large sections as higher density sub-divisions are built around them. Another Dunns Crossing Rd resident, Michael Wright, agreed that his and his neighbours’ land between the two blocks should be part of any rezoning. The council could, however, consider a separate plan change application from the Dunns Crossing Rd residents, if it met the requirements of the NPS-UD and Resource Management Act.
