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'.
