A group of North Shore residents are celebrating their victory over a housing development.
Local Residents in Beach Haven claimed the 81 proposed apartments would turn their area into a cesspit for crime.
Council commissioners received 167 submissions in opposition and now the project has been stopped.
Crispin Robertson lead the group of Beach Haven residents opposing the development, and Timothy Welch is a senior lecturer in urban planning at Auckland University.
Robertson and Welch spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
