When you apply for a coastal permit, the regional council can grant it, but it won’t start right away. The permit only begins when the Minister of Conservation approves a change to the plan. This approval process is described in section 116A.

If the Minister of Conservation says no to the plan change, the regional council has to cancel the coastal permit they gave you. This means you won’t be able to use the permit.
