Description

This determination arose from a decision by the authority to refuse to grant a building consent for remedial work to the monolithic wall cladding of an existing house with a code compliance certificate, because it considered it had insufficient information to enable it to be satisfied on reasonable grounds that compliance with the Building Code would be achieved.

Specifically, the authority cited that it could not be satisfied that compliance with Building Code clauses B1 Structure, B2 Durability, E2 External moisture, E3 Internal moisture, F1 Hazardous agents on site, and H1 Energy efficiency would be achieved by the proposed remedial work.

The matter determined was whether the authority was correct to refuse to issue a building consent for the proposed remedial work.
