These totals cover only the published qualifying areas, not every consent in Christchurch. This projection contains one 12-month consent window. A time-series chart needs comparable historical releases; repeated downloads of this same snapshot would not show a real trend. Low-count areas remain suppressed according to the source threshold.
Source snapshot: 2026-07-31. Consent does not establish completion, current planning status for an address, or property value.
