- High Court
The Council erred in law by accepting written approval that was not 'yoked' to the application because the defining aspects of the proposal (notably the size, scale and appearance of structures) were not disclosed to and understood by the affected owner; consequently the notification decision and the substantive resource consent were invalid and must be quashed, with the application returned to Council for reconsideration.
