Jesse Richardson: A City For People representative on the new regulations around Wellington's district plan - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

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. 

Jesse Richardson from housing group A City For People told Mike Hosking that on balance, it's a win. 

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