This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Planning Bill

Planning consents - Nature of consents, commencement, duration and review - Commencement

160: Commencement of consent if request for review lodged

You could also call this:

"When a planning consent starts if someone asks for a review"

If you make an application to the Planning Tribunal for a review under clause 14 of Schedule 10, the planning consent starts when the review, and any appeal, has been decided or withdrawn. You need to wait for this process to finish before the consent commences. The planning consent will commence after the review and appeal have been decided or withdrawn.
