Types of Resource Consent we complete:
A. Consent - is required when an activity is not permitted
by a Regional or District Plan or where a rule in a Plan
is contravened, or for activities seeking to establish out
of zone.
B. Subdivision Consent - is required to create extra titles for dwellings or land.
C. Certificates of Compliance - apply for permitted activities and can be sought to secure a development right for up to 5 years.
D. Discharge Consent - for discharges to land, air, or water (including discharge of stormwater).
E. Private Plan Changes - this may involve a range of applications from re-zoning land by applying existing rules
to new areas, or even writing entirely new objectives, policies and rules for specific activities in specific locations.
Planning and Valuation: One Stop Shop
The ultimate value of land is directly related to its land use or development potential. By obtaining landuse or subdivision consent the value of a property can be significantly enhanced.
Through a close association with Snow Wilkins (Registered Valuers) and land development consultants we are able to provide not only an analysis of potential landuse and development options, but also the likely development costs, returns
and added value in the current market place - all this from one office
