Clayden Road plan change allows for 1000 new homes
Auckland Council wanted to preserve three notable trees at 245 Matakana Road, but commissioners rejected the idea.
A plan change application allowing for more than 1000 new homes to be built on land either side of the new Matakana link road has been approved by commissioners, three months after a hearing in November.
The zoning change means more than 100 hectares of land north of Warkworth Showgrounds and west of Clayden Road will switch from its designation as future urban land with some light industry to mainly residential, with neighbourhood shops, open space and rural zones. Entry to the development would be via three access points on the link road, which would likely be controlled by traffic lights.
