Kitchen sink rules could be relaxed in Palmerston NorthDAVID UNWIN/FAIRFAX NZ Georgia Garrett's unconsented kitchen sink might be able to stay under new planning rules. But they have been given six months' notice to get rid of Georgia's kitchen sink. Proposed planning rule changes have given a Palmerston North family hope that 21-year-old Georgia Garrett, who has Down syndrome, might be able to keep her kitchen sink. Under the operative District Plan, a house was only allowed one kitchen sink. But early this year they told the story about how the city council had run some checks and found the two downstairs kitchen sinks were there against the rules.
