Land Use Resource Consents
Land use resource consents are required for non-compliance with the District Plan's zone rules. Common simple land use consent examples are exceeding site coverage or permeable area, building within boundary setbacks, encroaching the daylight control, constructing a secondary dwelling, or building a new building/altering a building in a character area (Visually Sensitive Hill Country. Outstanding Natural Landscape, or a Scenic Corridor). More complex land use consents may include commercial buildings which are out of zone, exceeding the density of housing in the residential area, or, a structure plan.
Land Use Consent Support Services
Cogswell can meet with you, prepare a feasibility study, organise and attend a pre-application meeting with Council staff, prepare the consent application, liaise with external consultants, and lodge an application on your behalf. We can work with Council toward a positive outcome for your development with conditions that meet Council’s requirements and suit your needs. We will assist in the implementation of the consent if required, as land use consent conditions can be ongoing.
