KEY POINTS:
A 160-home development has been given the go-ahead for the centre of Christchurch.
More than four hectares of land in St Albans will be redeveloped into terrace housing, apartments, 15 small shops and a small supermarket.
The Christchurch City Council's regulatory and planning committee has today approved the plan and will put it out for public feedback within the next two months.
City Plan team leader David Mountford said there was currently a single developer, but he could on-sell.
