88C: Excluded time periods relating to provision of further information

You could also call this:

“Time waits when council asks for more information about your resource consent application”

When you apply for a resource consent, the authority might ask you for more information under section 92(1). If this is the first time they ask, and it’s before they decide whether to notify your application, a certain period of time must be excluded from the time limit under section 88B. This period starts when the authority asks for the information and ends when you provide it, or when a certain date is set.

If the authority wants to get a report under section 92(2)(b), and you agree to this under section 92B(1), the time period that must be excluded starts when the authority tells you about the report and ends when they get the report. If you do not agree to the report, the time period starts when the authority tells you about the report and ends 15 working days later, or when the authority gets your refusal, whichever is earlier. You can find more information about this in the section 88B time limits.
