Description

Refusal of a code compliance certificate for a house with a monolithic cladding system at 435 Allport Road, Paengaroa, Te Puke

Scope

The application arose because the territorial authority refused to issue a code compliance certificate for a house, unless changes were made to its monolithic cladding system.

The matter for determination was whether the territorial authority's decision to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate for a 4-year-old house was correct. The territorial authority refused the application because it was not satisfied that the monolithic cladding as installed on the new building work complied with clause E2-External Moisture of the Building Code (First Schedule, Building Regulations 1992).
