Achieving a balance between increased density and desired amenity.
Boffa Miskell was commissioned by Wellington City Council to assess the implications of changes that are proposed by the Wellington City draft Spatial Plan, and NPS-UD intensification requirements, on residential amenity levels for existing and future residents across the city.
The study focused on appropriate measures that can be used to achieve a balance between amenity in residentially zoned land and an increased density. The proposed changes, as outlined in the draft Spatial Plan, have the potential to demonstrably alter the urban form in identified areas of change.
