- Inclusions: The Coastal Resource Management Council (CRMC) Assent Approval provided significant benefits for property owners, particularly in erosion protection. It allows continued maintenance under a permit, enabling the sustained implementation of erosion protection measures. In the event of storm damage, owners are permitted to restore any eroded parts, offering long term protection and elimination the need for new approval with each incident. This approval ensures regulatory compliance and facilitates ongoing maintenance and repairs, enhancing the property's resilience and long-term value. Residential B Zone (RB) which allows 8% lot coverage compared to 4% in the Residential A Zone (RA), owners benefit from greater development flexibility. The higher lot coverage allowance provides more opportunities for property development and use.
