165D: Power of consent authorities to refuse to receive applications for coastal permits

You could also call this:

"Consent authorities can refuse coastal permit applications if they've already said no to a similar idea nearby."

If you want to do something in the common marine and coastal area, you need to apply for a coastal permit. The people who decide if you can have a permit, called the consent authority, can refuse your application. They can do this if they already said no to a similar application for the same or a nearby area in the last year. You can find more information about this by looking at the Resource Management Act 1991 and the changes made by the Resource Management Amendment Act (No 2) 2011. The consent authority makes this decision to help manage what happens in the common marine and coastal area.
