Resource Consent

A resource consent requires a detailed architectural plan, elevations, visual representations, and a comprehensive report on how the project complies with regulations. The process can be time-consuming and may require revisions. Once approved, the letter includes conditions that must be met during construction, such as material selection and boundary non-compliance.
