Dartford

A terraced townhouse configuration designed to resource-consent across Auckland's mixed-housing zones.

About the plan

The Dartford is what most of our development clients end up building.

A terrace of Dartfords is an efficient use of a typical Auckland section in a Mixed Housing Urban or Suburban zone. Each home has its own title, a private rear yard, a dedicated parking space, and enough separation from the neighbour that you don't hear their television.

We designed the Dartford with a specific consent pathway in mind — internal height offsets, side-boundary recession planes, and outlook-from-habitable-rooms requirements are all baked into the base plan rather than bolted on in an amendment. That's the reason Dartford consents typically come back on first pass rather than after three rounds of RFI.

This plan suits you if…

  • Your site sits in an MHU or MHS zone
  • Yield is a significant part of the project's case
  • You want own-title homes, not unit title
  • You've been told by a planner that terrace is the likely fit
  • You value a consent pathway with few surprises
