Plan Change 12

Margaret Louise from Frankton

The meeting was held on 17th July '24 to update on PC12 Enabling Housing. A number of groups attended and noted that they were struggling to understand the range of new changes , different to what the community was told about in 2022. It seems the new option may be better for general residential but makes it harder for medium and high density communities. In high density it will be very difficult to add onto your home or add one storey units , and the height goes up from 21 metres to 26 metres permitted.

Frankton East Resident Group 9 ( FERG ) would appreciate it if there are any planners or lawyers that could help the community group. But the time is short.

Please ask the council what the new changes may mean to your home by going online to PC12 and putting in your address or ask at HCC.
