Paws at Home provides an architecturally designed doggy day care and wellbeing centre, built specifically with a dog’s needs in mind, on both a physical and holistic level.
The industrial zone is by far the best location for such establishments, as amenity (such as noise) expectations are more aligned. Some acoustic treatment was provided however, to avoid any actual effects on neighbouring sites. Treated in a similar vein to childcares, Feathers Planning needed to make sure there were enough drop off carparks to meet peak demand, the well implemented shuttle dog-collection vehicle assists in reducing traffic to and from the site.
This has been one of Louise’s all-time favourite projects (and it’s her dogs favourite place too). An ‘out of the box’ project, and a local business which we support back in return.

Feathers Planning is a niche planning business with a focus on efficiently and successfully navigating the resource consent process. Our key focus is the expert preparation of resource consent applications and the acquisition of the subsequent approvals. This is the starting point in development projects these days - and often a necessary one in the road from going from concept to reality.
As part of this process, we work with your team of select industry professionals, as required for the particular project, to ensure technical reports are tailored towards your needs/projects, and undertake all of the liaison with the Council staff so that you don’t have to. We talk the same language as Council and therefore know the ways and means to alleviate their concerns, resolve issues and mitigate effects. Feathers Planning has a reputation of being adaptable, innovative and pragmatic problem solvers.
Basically, we take your project and manage it through the resource consent process giving our clients the best chance at success both in a timely and cost-effective manner.
At any one time we have a diverse portfolio of projects - residential, commercial, industrial, rural, heritage and community. These range in size and scope from adding a garage to a residential property to master planning exercises in Structure Plan areas.
Whilst being passionate about seeing our local region thrive and grow, we also work throughout New Zealand and as a result have developed solid relationships with varying Councils.
Whatever your project, whatever the size, Feathers Planning’s focus is to efficiently and successfully get your project over the line so you can move to the next phase in development.
