Living 3 & 4 Zones- Plan Change 53 by Christchurch City Council

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

ViaStrada's planners are currently reviewing the Council-initiated Plan Change 53, which aims to facilitate higher standards of urban design, appearance and residential amenity in the Living 3 and Living 4 Zones in Christchurch.

Whilst ViaStrada strongly endorses the intention of the Plan Change, through our extensive work on resource consent and traffic assessments for developments in the Living 3 and 4 zones (for both developers and Council), we are mindful of:

  • the likely new constraints to development projects or land holdings in the Living 3 and 4 zones;
  • new development opportunities for developments projects or land holdings;
  • changes to the risks for development projects or land acquisition; and
  • general opportunities for improvements to the proposed Plan Change wording and provisions.

If you are interested in finding out more about how Plan Change 53 might affect you or your project and how ViaStrada can assist, please don't hesitate to contact Jeremy, Andrew or Kathryn on 03 943 0830.
