The Medium Density Residential Standards (MDRS), continue to be criticised in the media by (some) academics, urban planners, designers and architects. While there is room for improvement, the changes will enable more homes and housing choice. What the MDRS is likely to deliver, is similar to much of the urban infill we have seen previously, where an additional house or two is built on underutilised land at the front or rear of an existing house. If the development is compliant with the new standards, then it could be built with no resource consent, though there are many potential triggers for resource consent.
