First decisions for Christchurch City’s Plan Change 14
Christchurch City Council has made its first decisions to accept some aspects of the Independent Hearings Panel’s (IHP) recommendations on the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change – Plan Change 14 (PC14). One of the key decisions means that, within the central city, buildings less than 28 metres no longer need resource consent from the Council.
Council staff are currently working through several clarifications with the IHP ahead of the Council being scheduled to make more substantive decisions on Plan Change 14 by 4 December.
