Construction Consent
Construction Period
It will be a standard condition of any Construction Consent that the Construction
will be completed within the period specified in the Consent. This period will not
be less than three years and will be based on the Developer's proposed programme
of works.
If, as a result of a change in circumstances during construction, it is demonstrated
that the specified period is no longer realistic, the Local Roads Authority may
grant an extension.
In normal circumstances, once homes are occupied, no more than one extension of
time will be granted by the Local Roads Authority.
If the full development is not completed within the specified period, including
any extension, the Developer will be required to amend the Construction Consent
to allow adoption of that part which is open to public use.
Alternatively, the roads will be completed by the Local Roads Authority using the
Road Bond.
