175: Commencement of natural resource permit

You could also call this:

"When a natural resource permit starts and the rules you must follow"

Illustration for Natural Environment Bill

If you get a natural resource permit, it starts in the same way as set out in the Planning Act 2025. You can find the details in sections 158, 159, and 160 of the Planning Act 2025. These sections explain how a consent starts. When you get a natural resource permit, you need to follow these rules, but there are some exceptions. You should also look at sections 176 and 177, as they can affect how your permit starts. These sections are also part of the Planning Act 2025.
