Pro-housing advocates say they're thrilled with new regulations around Wellington's district plan.\xa0

Newly signed off rules will allow for higher building limits and more townhouses in suburbs.\xa0

It's despite a minor amendment to scrap the heritage listing of 10 buildings not being approved.\xa0

Jesse Richardson from housing group A City For People told Mike Hosking that on balance, it's a win.\xa0

He says the heritage failure is merely a drop in the bucket and this district plan will allow for thousands more houses in Wellington.\xa0
