Heritage & Special Character Areas
Residential development of heritage buildings or in special character areas can seem like a headache, but it doesn’t need to be when you use experienced professional planners to help you.
Residential development of heritage buildings or in special character areas does introduce a unique set of issues and opportunities- you just need to know what they are! Most development in these areas requires resource consent and you need a planner experienced with this type of development to help you navigate the resource consent process.
Planning Plus™ has been working in this area for years, including over 35 years processing resource consent applications for Councils- we understand your project from all sides. We draw on this experience and our extensive network of proven professionals, to ensure your project is successful. Our 100% consent success rate is something we’re proud of, and we’d love to see your residential development added to it.
If you’re interested in purchasing a site in a heritage area or overlay, a development feasibility study can be an important part of your due diligence. You can find out about a development feasibility study here.
“We are renovating our Devonport villa and Planning Plus® made it so easy to obtain resource consent, for our heritage overlay addition and new pool. Would recommend to all!”
