Many aesthetic changes to buildings will no longer need consents - under the Government's Resource Management Act shake-up.
The replacement Planning and Natural Environment Bills are being introduced to Parliament today - and will pass next year.
RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop says planners won't be able to block projects because of visual changes - as long as other people aren't affected.
He told Ryan Bridge that planners have got involved in some cases, to a ridiculous degree.
Bishop says that includes the direction doors face and where televisions were placed in living rooms.
