请教关于修房CONSENT的问题。

尽快比较好，一旦旁边的地有了主人，COUNCIL就要征得邻居的同意。

Not entirely clear what you mean - so, who is the EXISTING owner of that land? Is it owned by the developer (that subdivises the site)?

If the EXISTING owner agrees IN WRITING (with their signature on the drawings) then you can proceed - but you still need to apply for a Resource Consent and Council can still decline your application (it is not likely if you get the written approvel from the neighbour, but in some special circumstances, Council can still decline saying your proposal will not be consistent with District Plan's policies or have a considerable adverse effects on the amenity of the area, etc...).

Normally, a resource consent has a 5 year duration so once it is approved, you can build it a year after that....

---谢谢，我旁边那块地现在还在发展商手里，不，在RECEIVER手里，发展商破产了，还没卖出去，当初我从发展商手里买下的时候购买合同签订的是可以修最高9米的房子，我现在担心如果这块地卖出去了，那么这块地的 ...

If you just want to build a 2 stories dwelling, normally it should be able to comply with the 8m maximum height controls (which apply in most of the zones) - why do you have to make it 9m then???

Another way to go thru is by undertaking some excavations on the land so the 9m building will still comply (as councils calculate max height compliance based on the EXISTING ground levels rather than the new ground levels after excavation). Although you will also need to get a resource consent for exceeding the max amound/area of earthworks, this will be much more easier and normally you dont need to get written approval from your neigbhours for that (unless council thinks there are some land stability concern which needs their approval).

Alternatively, you can use the "rolling height method" to demonstrate every point of your new house complies with the 8m rule but I will leave this to your architect who should be able to work out what it means.

Anyway, I dont think there is any major difficulty for you to comply with the normally 8m max height requirement if you just want to build a decent 2 level dwelling - assuming it is a new dwelling of normal design. Just work thru it with your architect to comply if you can as this will save you lot of hassles.

Yeah, normally a 2 level dwelling can be quite comfortably accommodated within the max 8m height requirements - talk to your architect and he should be able to look after this for you.

Re the written approval from your neighbours, there are other key matters you need to be aware of: mainly, the Building Coverage and Height in Relation to Boundary (HIRB); in some council (for example, the North Shore City one), the location of bedrooms/lounge/private open space (for privacy) and the height on any point of the building can be reasons for Council to ask you to get written approval from your neighbour - so be very careful na...

楼上大大的厉害，丝丝入扣。

楼主，一般两层很容易控制在8米内的。你要粗略算的话就是一楼的天花高度加上0.3米（水泥基础），然后二楼天花高度加上0.3米（二楼地板高度），再加上屋顶的高度。你要是地斜，再搞个平顶，三层都不是很难。呵呵，只是三层的真的不好住。

实际上，所谓的平顶也都是斜的。即便那种mambranes roof也要至少1.5度的斜度。和尖顶相比，平顶要来得贵，材料和人工都贵，尤其你要做那种有parapet wall的，就是屋顶被一圈矮墙围着的，更贵。不过设计好的话，个人蛮喜欢这种造型的。

当然，有parapet wall的，你也可以选择用longrun colorsteel，可以降低cost，只是要最低保证10度的roof pitch。
