Description
Regarding which fire risk group should be used in determining compliance of proposed accommodation at 64A Rosella Road, Mangare East, Auckland
Scope
This determination arises from a dispute between the parties as to which Acceptable Solution (C/AS1 or C/AS2) applies to the proposed building work for the purposes of achieving compliance with Clause C of the Building Code. The applicant is of the view that the proposed building work falls within risk group SH, and therefore C/AS1 applies. The authority's view is that the proposed building work falls within risk group SM, and therefore C/AS2 applies.
I take the view that the matter to be determined is whether the proposed building work complies with Clause C of the Building Code.
