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?

It comes at the same time India has overtaken Brazil to become the second worst-Covid hit country.
In the last fortnight, 26 people have tested positive after returning from India, 20 of them from one flight alone.
Do you think the government needs to be stricter at the border?

But six months on from his disappearance in Auckland, the hope that has kept them strong has dwindled.
The 18-year-old had been studying English and staying with a host family in Birkenhead on the North Shore, before he disappeared without explanation on the evening of March 6.
Phone data indicates he was near the intersection of Piha Rd and Scenic Drive about 9.18am on March 7.
Rolland’s sister Aurore told Stuff in July her family were “waiting for a miracle”.
However, after six months of no news, she said last week they had lost hope.

“So I would say it’s possible I might have the most plants per square metre,” she quips.

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.

Twin tamarins are thriving at Auckland Zoo after their mum was unable to produce milk, leading to them being hand-reared.
The rare golden lion tamarins, a male and a female, were born to mum Frida on July 17.
Frida was unable to produce milk for her babies, meaning zookeepers had to make the decision, when they were two days old, to hand-rear them instead.
Auckland Zoo primate team leader Amy Robbins said the possibility of needing to hand-rear was already on the table because of Frida’s difficulty in raising offspring in the past.
“Hand-rearing is never a decision we make lightly and there are always risks, but we had strong science-based evidence to inform this call and the full support of this programme’s species coordinator,” Robbins said.
Bought this from neighbourly as well, but never had a chance to use it. Must be pick up.

Hello all,
This might be a bit of pre-mature post, but our black kitten Nova has gone awol.
She’s young, lean and quite petite.
She’s not chipped or spayed yet, and has been Houdini-like with her collar. All good reasons why post this early.
The only truly unique characteristic is that she … View moreHello all,
This might be a bit of pre-mature post, but our black kitten Nova has gone awol.
She’s young, lean and quite petite.
She’s not chipped or spayed yet, and has been Houdini-like with her collar. All good reasons why post this early.
The only truly unique characteristic is that she doesn’t meow - she chirps, like a little bird.
She went missing around 6pm Tuesday evening Rangiatea Road/Manukau Road area.
Please let us know if you have seen her or r even if you thought you have seen her - happy to check just in case.
Thanks neighbours,
Evie
