Where should taller residential properties go in Richmond?
Tasman District Council is seeking community input on where housing intensification can occur.
The Richmond Spatial Intensification Plan, Richmond on the Rise, proposes two new higher density areas, where increased building heights would be permitted, alongside an easier consenting pathway for developments that are “well-designed and achieve high quality urban outcomes”.
The plan would encourage mixed use development, up to four storeys, in the Richmond town centre, with retail or office space on the ground floor and residential above. It would allow medium density apartments and townhouses, up to two to three storeys around the edges of the town centre, and provide for medium density townhouses of up to two storeys in some urban areas of Richmond.
