Pro-housing advocates say they're thrilled with new regulations around Wellington's district plan.
Newly signed off rules will allow for higher building limits and more townhouses in suburbs.
It's despite a minor amendment to scrap the heritage listing of 10 buildings not being approved.

He says the heritage failure is merely a drop in the bucket and this district plan will allow for thousands more houses in Wellington.
