National have committed to keeping most of the density rules they agreed to with Labour, with the tweak of giving councils a little more flexibility around where people can build up to three storeys. Overall a great move, and one that will hopefully have a downwards pressure on house prices.

They have also indicated they plan to build more state houses, as well.

So more expensive sprawl on the fringes with a lack of public transport infrastructure, and a belt of character protection surrounding cbds that prevents intensity on the best land for it, close to amenities and with existing infrastructure to utilise. Garbage decision
