[ad_1]
Cranford Regeneration Plan progress: this afternoon 27 July the Council spent around fifty minutes discussing the draft Cranford Regeneration Plan. A significant part of the discussion was a potential affordable housing amendment, however staff advice was that this change could result in housing development in the Cranford Basin being “impossible to get off the ground”. Ultimately the Council voted to submit the draft plan to Regenerate Christchurch unchanged.

Agenda of Council – 27 July 2017

[ad_1]
Consultation outcome: The Finalised Draft Cranford Regeneration Plan is on the agenda for this Thursday’s full Council meeting. The staff recommendation is that Council approves the Draft Cranford Regeneration Plan for submission to Regenerate Christchurch. The report states in part that “On balance, officers consider that the investigations undertaken as part of preparing the draft Plan, and through engagement, demonstrate that residential development is not only feasible, but will deliver regeneration outcomes that benefit the City and greater Christchurch.” If the Council approves the draft Plan it will then be submitted to Regenerate Christchurch, who will review it and then submit it to their Minister, with a recommendation on whether or not the Minister should approve it. Click through to see the full Council agenda for Thursday. (You can also find the Councils webpage on the project by searching on “Cranford Regeneration Plan”.)
