Can I develop this land?

Most land can be developed in some manner. This may range from intensive subdivision to a single building construction.

The type and extent of development that will be allowed will depend on the requirements of the City or District Plan that applies. Each proposal will be required to meet most of the development criteria listed in the plan. Some land cannot be developed such as land that has been restricted due to hazards such as rockfall or instability, or due to the presence of protected buildings etc. Generally your local authority can advise whether a project is feasible on a particular site. If there are specific technical questions that the local authority requires you to answer as a part of you application, we can assist.
