Neighbours bemoan 'monstrosity' in leafy Christchurch suburb
Construction of a controversial new house labelled a "monstrosity" by neighbours could be halted after "potential inaccuracies" were found in the resource consent plans.
Neighbours believe the house under construction on Rata St in Riccarton may have been approved based on inaccurate figures.
However, owners Mike and Lynn Dore say they followed the advice of consultants and believe the consents are correct.

Response to regifting presents
My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
