Types of resource consents

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

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.

Subdivision Consent

The subdivision of land requires resource consent, even if it's only a boundary adjustment where no additional sites are created.

Land Use Consent

A resource consent is required for land use activities that aren't listed in the Horowhenua District Plan as Permitted Activities or for activities that don't comply with the Permitted Activity Conditions.

Deemed Permitted Boundary Activity

If your activity complies with all of the rules in the Horowhenua District Plan, except that it breaches a rule in relation to a neighbour’s boundary, you might be able to apply for a deemed permitted boundary activity instead of a resource consent.
