Conversion of an existing dwelling divided into two new townhouses under the Unitary Plan. The conversion rule was developed to enable an existing dwelling to be converted
into two dwellings to realise a form of development known as ‘Gentle Density’. This approach provides for additional, low impact density where denser, multi-unit development is not contemplated. As a result, the conversion rule
is part of a wider suite of provisions and rules in the Auckland Unitary Plan that enable additional housing supply in a variety of forms.
