UPDATE 24/6: The feedback deadline has been extended to 12 July.
Auckland Council is proposing changes to the Unitary Plan Special Character Overlay, which could make significant changes to the height in relation to boundary, yards, paved areas and fences in the Single House Zone. This could affect many houses in the Birkenhead Point, Northcote Point and Devonport areas, as well as many others across Auckland.
However, the letter to inform residents is not easy to understand, and has been sent in the middle of the consultation period, leaving many without much time to submit.
At the Kaipātiki Local Board meeting on Wednesday, we passed a unanimous motion requesting Council to extend the consultation period. This followed two presentations from the public requesting an extension, as well as numerous correspondence requesting an extension.
The current submission deadline is 28 June.
