More development heading to Merivale? Key change made to planning rules

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

From reporter Steven Walton:
-----------------
New builds without car parks can be unleashed on suburban Christchurch this week.

But where are the best spots for this? One developer considers them to be suburbs near the central city, like Merivale.

Following a Government directive, the Christchurch City Council will remove all minimum car parking requirements from its district plan on February 18.

This means both residential and commercial new builds, anywhere in the city, do not have to provide car parks. Developers could still choose to add them if they wanted to.

What do you think of the new rules? Read the full story here and share your thoughts in the comments below.
