Should the council review its rules around woodburners?

Tim Newman Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Marc and Talya Horrocks are facing a battle with the Nelson City Council over their fireplace.

Marc and Talya Horrocks are facing a battle with the Nelson City Council over their fireplace.

Marc and Talya live within Nelson South's "Airshed A" - which doesn't allow people to use or replace woodburners built between 1996 and 1999. After buying their house in 2017, it wasn't until 2019 they found out it was not permitted - and because of the unique features of the house (formerly the Nelson South Methodist Church) it could cost $30,000 or more to install an alternative heating system.

Do you think the council should re-consider its policy on woodburners in Nelson South - or will that just lead to high pollution levels in the area?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

MISSING My 11 year old male cat, name Sam.
He’s black with a white bib on the chest, he’s a big cat, lost in the area of Berryfield Drive and 40 Youngberry Drive
Richmond, since 24/11. We moved house and area, he got spooked and managed to get under a gap in our fence, we’ve looked everywhere as long as we could have before leaving for CHCH.. the new owners are also on the lookout for him as well as my son who lives in Nelson has been looking for him too.. He’s microchipped, but doesn’t have a collar on. He’s our family and we would love to have him back safely.. PLEASE check your gardens, in between plants, sheds and garages if he’s there. He’s probably very scared and doesn’t do well with strangers. Any info of seeing him would be so appreciated.. if found please contain him somewhere safe, contact me on 0272450304 and my son will come and pick him up.
Thank You
