The first step for an applicant is to gather the necessary information needed for an application.
Following this, applicants should fill an application form and attach the necessary documents. The deposit must be paid upon submitting the application to Environmental Services at Grey District Council.
Our Planners will then assess your application and begin processing it. A Consent application may be returned if it is incomplete. During processing the application may be put on hold by Council if further information or written approval from affected parties is required.
A site visit may also be conducted if it is deemed necessary to assist in processing the consent.
The consent may be limited notified if written approval cannot be sought from affected parties or at request of the applicant. Similarly consent may become publically notified at request of applicant or if the proposal may potentially have an effect on the greater community.
Finally a decision will be issued to the applicant providing any conditions which must be complied with.
Note. Some consents require monitoring of particular conditions. This occurs after the consent has been granted.
