Auckland Council is moving to allocate up to two million new homes in the coming decades.

The council's Policy and Planning Committee voted 18-5 to pass the plan, which will see more housing near transport hubs and less in natural hazard zones.

Councillor Maurice Williamson has compared it as a choice between a firing squad and lethal injection.

He told Mike Hosking he’s a fan of intensifying along rail corridors and busways, but it doesn't make sense to go into suburban streets and force the building of “ghastly pieces of junk” when they aren’t needed.

Williamson says there needed to be more consultation and negotiation around what the upper figure of builds would be.
