Have your plan ready
Before checking whether you need a consent for your shade sail, you need to know:
- dimensions of the project (height, total area)
- location on property where the project will go
- size of the property in square metres
- total area of your property currently covered by buildings
- total area of your property currently covered by hard surfaces, for example concrete or paved areas.
There will be an explanation on how to calculate these factors in the online consent tool.
