The Council lacked adequate and reliable information and applied an incorrect perspective when dispensing with notification of the earthworks application; that procedural and informational failure invalidated the September/December 2004 non‑notification decision and the related 2004 and 2005 resource consents, requiring the consents to be set aside and the Council to reconsider on a notified basis (at least notifying neighbouring owners); the building consent is not set aside but its efficacy is compromised by the invalid resource consents.
