Produce an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE)
All resource consent applications require an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE).
Your AEE must highlight all the effects of your proposal, including both the negative and positive effects. Examples include:
- loss of privacy
- physical closeness to adjoining property
- intrusion on living space of adjoining property
- building bulk
- noise
- hours of operation
- generation of additional traffic
- visual amenity
- dust
- light
- deficiency in parking, manoeuvring, loading and access
- assessing whether activity is in character with and complementary to the surrounding neighbourhood
- assessing whether the design and appearance of the activity will have adverse effects on the ambience and amenity of the surrounding neighbourhood
- other environmental disturbances
- traffic and pedestrian safety
- cultural effects, on wāhi tapu and other sites and resources of significance to tangata whenua.
As well as identifying effects associated with your proposal, you must show how you propose to avoid, remedy or mitigate these effects.
If you’ve consulted with anyone, provide details of the results of this consultation.
If you have trouble compiling the information, or need some advice on aspects of your application, please talk to our Duty Planner.
There are also a range of professionals who can give you expert advice, including planners, acoustic consultants, traffic engineers, architects, landscape architects, and surveyors.
