Residential Development Guides

Whether you are an experienced developer or this is your first time, the council's guides to development may come in handy.

There are guides that focus on the more common types of development in Nelson. Infill – where one or more properties are added to a piece of land, and Conversion – where space above inner city properties is turned into residential housing.

The guides take you through the whole process, from design through to consenting, and could help you make the most of your investment and avoid any common pitfalls.

Click on the PDFs below, and remember that you can get free advice from a Principal Development Adviser before starting your project.
