Definition and Nature
The term "resource consent" is defined as;
- a permit to carry out an activity that would otherwise contravene a rule in a city or district plan.
- a permission required for an activity that might affect the environment, and that isn't allowed 'as of right' in the district or regional plan.
A resource consent, once granted to an applicant, is neither real nor personal property. Therefore resource consents cannot be 'owned'; they are 'held' by 'consent holders'.

Famous quotes containing the words definition and/or nature:
“The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him that nature might stand up
And say to all the world “This was a man.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
