Policy 3 of the NPS-UD and a (small) part of the MDRS have finally been decided on for Christchurch. Today, Council adopted 58 of the recommendations from the Panel on Plan Change 14 regarding intensification within and surrounding commerical centres. High Density Residential zoning will be applied around 10 commercial zones, and while most are enabled to about 4-storeys, development within the Four Avenues is enabled to either 6 or 12-storeys. All HRZ also have bespoke standards to better deliver intensification, including perimeter block controls. Through an Alternative Recommendation, these Perimeter Blocks controls are now also applied across 8 key centres where Medium Density Residential zones are approved. About 30 commerical centres will now have medium density. This is a significant step change and it will be interesting to see what kind of developments get delivered. Alongside this, a number of Alternative Recommendations have also sought to retain the Council position put forward. This includes the Sunlight Access QM, Riccarton Bush QM, and City Spine QM (only retaining status quo road setbacks). Some heritage and character areas have also changed through Alternatives: Antonio Hall listing is removed; Daresbury House listing is removed; and both the Residential Character and Heritage areas for Piko/Shands are removed, alongside the removal of Character Areas for Ranfurly, Beverley, and Clifton. While all Alternatives are subject to a decision by the Minister, they will all have legal effect from 12 December when the decision is notified. From this date, all parts of IHP recommendations will be treated as operative. It's been an incredible effort to get this far and am frankly shattered. Thanks very much to the support of the wider City Planning team for all your efforts, including Mark Stevenson for his "steady Stevenson" approach throughout. I'll be taking a couple of days off to recoup, but I look forward to seeing what the next phase in this (never ending) project holds. #intensification #npsud #mdrs #nzplanning #Christchurch #Perimeterblocks

West Ham vs Wolves was as expected - two very poor sides. Luckily, we had Jarrod Bowen to make the difference. ⚽️⚒️ Whilst walking to the London Stadium I thought about how much change Stratford had seen over the last 10 years. 🏗️ University buildings (such as the building on the left in the picture), high rise residential projects, bars and restaurants. 🏙️ How much more change will we see in the area over the next year 10 years? 🏢 Already, many more projects have started and I believe a lot more are being planned. 🚧 #ukconstruction #london #buildingprojects #buildingmaterials #sales #marketing #recruitment #build
