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

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

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

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

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