A move to free up more land for new builds is likely to see fewer driveways and garages in modern housing, in a move some say could have New Zealand looking like Coronation Street.
Councils across the country must scrap planning rules that require car parks to be put down near new housing or business developments, under newly released housing guidelines.
The change comes as the Government looks to encourage development, in part by freeing up land held up by car parks, under its new National Policy Statement for urban development.
Property developer Phil Robinson said scrapping car park rules was a “big change”, but he was unsure if it was a “big win”.
What do you think of having more new builds in your area with fewer driveways and garages?

Houses under the current $500,000 cap for existing homes in the region are getting harder to come by, with first home buyers (FHB) facing competition from investors for the properties - which often need work. Do you think FHB should to able to use the grant if they buy homes for over $500,000?
Experts are split on how to reverse dropping literacy rates in New Zealand schools. Some say decoding words - systematic phonics - should be the main approach in children in the early years of primary school. Others say it should be one in a range of strategies. What do you think?

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.
The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.
The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.
We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.

Currently pine plantations comprise the majority of the council's 640ha forestry assets, although in 2018 a decision was made to retire 140ha and replant them in permanent native forest.
What do you think council should do with its forestry assets in the future? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
