Given they are both consents, for clarity, IMO it's worth describing them as follows:
* Resource consent
* Building consent
Building consent I'm referring to.
To change the roof line you'd probably need a building consent to check that the recession plane isn't breached.
When people talk about RMA issues and getting rid of the rules I do hope that they aren't advocating letting it become open slather - anything goes.
I've had the misfortune to have had significant interaction with the RMA and I can assure you it was a nightmare from the beginning, and a boon for the legal, consulting and grievance industries. It has been an unproductive, expensive handbrake on this country from the outset, while at the same time doing little to achieve its reason for existence.
To give just one example. Water storage.
