The Developers

A reader is entitled to know who is proposing to build 1,200 dwellings at Arrow Junction. This page answers that from public registers, and it does nothing else. At launch it contains document references and no adverse statements about anyone. That is not caution for its own sake: it is the state of our evidence, stated accurately.

This page examines documents, not motives. Where the record is silent, we say so.

Everything below is, or will be, obtainable independently of us — from the Companies Register, the land register and the application record. Where we have not yet attached the extract, the gap is labelled. A reference with a gap label is a research task, not an insinuation.

Ridgeburn Limited

Ridgeburn Limited is the entity associated with the Arrow Junction application. It is a New Zealand registered company, and the Companies Register records the facts that define it: its company number and incorporation date, its registered office and address for service, its directors, its shareholders and their shareholdings, and its filing history including any changes to any of those.

We publish those particulars when we attach the register extract, and not before.

• Companies Register record for Ridgeburn Limited — company number, incorporation date, registered office and address for service — [Source to be added]
• Current directors of Ridgeburn Limited, as recorded on the register — [Source to be added]
• Current shareholders and shareholdings of Ridgeburn Limited, as recorded on the register — [Source to be added]
• Filing history, including any change of directors, shareholders or registered office — [Source to be added]
• The application material identifying the applicant entity — [Source to be added]

What that record will show, and what it will not: a company register records who holds office and who holds shares. It does not record what anyone intends, what anyone stands to gain, or what anyone has agreed with anyone else. It is a register of positions, not of purposes.

Morven Ferry Limited

Morven Ferry Limited appears in the record in connection with the land and the registered interests affecting it. The same register particulars apply, and the same discipline.

• Current shareholders and shareholdings of Morven Ferry Limited, as recorded on the register — [Source to be added]
• Registered interests held by Morven Ferry Limited in the land the subject of the application — [Source to be added]

Named interests in the public record

The registers associated with these entities and this land record interests held under the Hamilton and Clear names. We record that because it is in a public register, and for no other reason.

• Register entries recording the Hamilton interests, as they appear on the Companies Register and the land register — [Source to be added]
• Register entries recording the Clear interests, as they appear on the Companies Register and the land register — [Source to be added]

Appearing on a public register is not an allegation of anything. Holding a shareholding, a directorship or a registered interest in land is ordinary, lawful and extremely common. We name these interests because the public record names them, and we attach no characterisation, no inference and no adverse statement to any of them. If the record ever shows something more, the document will be published alongside the statement — or the statement will not be published.

The property record

The land itself is documented, and these references are the spine of the timeline set out at Property & Development Timeline.

• Deposited Plan 601937 — the survey plan defining the parcels. — [Source to be added]
• Record of Title 1174253 — [Source to be added]
• Record of Title 1174254 — [Source to be added]
• Covenant Instrument 13089567.5 — a registered instrument affecting the land. — [Source to be added]

A record of title records ownership and the interests registered against it. It shows who holds the land and what encumbers it. It does not show why the land was acquired, what is planned for it beyond what is registered, or what anyone paid unless that is itself recorded. A covenant instrument records an obligation or restriction affecting the land. Reading either as evidence of intent is a category error, and this site will not make it.

What we will not publish

Stated in advance, so it is a standard rather than a case-by-case judgement.

• Motive. No statement, inference or implication about why any company or any person associated with it is doing what they are doing. Not that they are greedy, not that they are indifferent, not that they have a plan beyond what the documents show.
• Private lives. Nothing about anyone’s home, family, health, finances beyond the register, or personal circumstances. Home addresses are not published even where a register happens to show one.
• Unsourced adverse statements. If we cannot attach a document, the statement does not go up. This includes material sent to us by people who are confident it is true.
• Association as argument. No network diagrams, no lists of who has worked with whom. Association is not evidence, and presenting it as though it were is the oldest trick in this kind of campaign.
• Anything about employees or contractors. The argument is with an application, not with the people working on it.

Why this page is deliberately thin

We could fill it. There is no shortage of things that could be said about developers in general, and no shortage of people willing to say them. A page of insinuation would be more satisfying to read and would do more damage to this site than anything our opponents could write, because it would give them one target that discredits the wastewater analysis, the traffic analysis and the evidence library all at once.

So this page grows only as documents arrive. Each gap label above is a specific register search, and as each is completed the reference is replaced by the document and its particulars. The argument against this development is made on the figures — one million litres a day, 2.8 tonnes of nitrogen a year, roughly 3,000 vehicle movements a day, an unmeasured night sky — and those figures do not need a villain to work.

Evidence statement
