The City of Nelson now sells pre-reviewed plans for three different laneway house designs for $1,000 (plus GST) for laneway houses to be built in the City of Nelson. You benefit from a quicker application review process, a $450 development permit refund (in certain cases), and an award-winning design at a low cost.
