This sample is in a district whose plan layer is not in the report, so it has no district plan page. The report covers only the datasets listed in its Appendix B. The number of pages depends on the records found for the property.

What the report is not.
Please read before you buy. LandSure is not a geotechnical engineer, and this report is not a geotechnical assessment, certification or a professional opinion. It is a set of public records about the property, each with its source and record date. Not engineering advice. The report is issued to you and is for your use only: banks, insurers and councils cannot rely on it. No owner copies. The full terms are on the terms page.
The district plan zone and overlays are in the report only where it reads the council's open layer. At present that is Christchurch City Council's. For a property in any other district the report has no district plan page.
The report covers only the datasets listed in its Appendix B. It is not an inspection: nobody visits the property. It is not a survey, a valuation, a LIM, a hazard assessment or a forecast.
