Apply for a Deemed Permitted Boundary Activity

You can apply to Horowhenua District Council for a Deemed Permitted Boundary Activity (a type of Resource Consent) online.

Before you get started

Before you begin, we recommend you view our Resource consent process 9-step guide page. A well-prepared application that covers all aspects of your proposed deemed permitted boundary activity will make the process as smooth as possible, and will save you both time and processing costs.

If you have a larger or more complex proposed activity in mind, you can contact Council's Planning Team on 06 366 0999 to discuss your proposed consent and get some help to figure out what information is needed.

What you'll need - an application checklist

You'll need the following information to apply:

  • the name and address of any occupiers or owners of the site where the activity will take place
  • a description of your proposal (boundary activity)
  • a description of the site where the activity will take place, including the Lot and DP number
  • an electronic copy of the Record (Certificate) of Title for the subject property, less than three months old (alternatively we can provide this for you for an additional fee)
  • electronic copies of the site plan, location plan and elevation drawings - these can be in one combined file
  • electronic copies of the written approval from all registered owners of all allotments with infringed boundaries (written approval form signed and dated, all proposal plans signed and dated by all owners with infringed boundaries).
