Pembridge

List No. 7734Built 1876–1986Listed 2008

Pembridge is one of the best-preserved examples of an elite urban residence erected in colonial Auckland, and is one of a significant group of houses on the western side of Princes Street linked with the creation of a well-to-do neighbourhood in the 1870s. Located on the Symonds Street ridge, the two-storey brick residence was constructed in 1876 on top of the remains of the Albert Barracks.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

This property is outside the flood areas the council maps.

  • Unitary Plan Base Zone

    On this property
    Over the whole section

    District plan zones as Auckland publishes them. What a site may be used for, and what may be built on it.

  • Flood plain

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Land the council models as under water in a 1-in-100-year storm, usually with an allowance for climate change.

  • Flood prone area

    Not mapped here
    Nearest 201 m away

    A low point where stormwater ponds if its outlet blocks or overflows.

  • Flood sensitive area

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Land beside a flood plain that could flood if the model is out, or the storm is bigger.

  • Coastal inundation

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Land the sea reaches in a 1-in-100-year storm tide once sea level has risen by 1 m.

  • Special character area

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Streets whose built character is protected: demolition and new building are assessed against the area's existing form, whatever the zone allows.

  • Historic heritage place

    On this property
    Over the whole section

    A scheduled historic place. Work on it, including demolition, needs consent against the heritage schedule.

    Schedule
    1999–2511

  • Height variation control

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    An explicit building height for this land, replacing the one its zone would give.

  • Volcanic viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A protected view of a volcanic cone. Inside it, building height is capped at a fixed level above sea level to keep the cone visible.

  • Locally significant viewshaft

    None within 250 m

    A locally protected view of a cone, with its own height ceiling.

  • Museum viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    The protected view of the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

  • Ridgeline protection

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Skyline land where building height is controlled so the ridge stays a ridge.

  • Notable tree

    Not mapped here
    Nearest 101 m away

    A scheduled tree. It may not be felled or topped without consent, which makes it a permanent part of the skyline.

  • Notable group of trees

    Not mapped here
    Nearest 124 m away

    A scheduled stand of trees, protected as a group.

  • Precinct

    Nearby
    33 m from the boundary

    Local rules written for this area alone, which override the underlying zone where they differ.

Contaminated land

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.

Auckland Council does not publish its contaminated sites records. A site contamination enquiry (a fee applies) or the LIM will say what it holds.

Ask Auckland Council

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
