Floor space offered
Developers will be eligible for bonus floor space on sites with historic buildings if a proposed change to the Christchurch City Council’s District Scheme is upheld by the council’s town-plan-ning hearings panel. The panel yesterday heard two objections and a submission in support of the change, which would give developers extra floor space not otherwise allowed in the scheme in return for preserving the buildings.
The Assistant Town Planner, Mr Richard Johnson, said the objections from the Canterbury United Council and the Canterbury Provincial Buildings Committee were concerned with the transfer of these bonuses for sites where historic buildings took up the entire site. The Canterbury branch of the Historic Places Trust made a submission in favour of the change. The panel reserved decision. ■ ,
