What are the different types of resource consents?

The main types of resource consents/planning approval issued by Horowhenua District Council are:

• Land Use Consent - may be needed for particular activities that aren't permitted, such as extending or constructing a new building, establishing a new activity or erecting signage
• Subdivision Consent - needed to legally divide land for separate ownership
• Deemed Permitted Boundary Activity

Every council plan is different, so just because you didn't need a consent in one district doesn't mean you won't need a consent in another. There's also likely to be a difference between areas within a district or region.
