Description

The dispute arises from the authoritys decision to issue a building consent that included a condition required a fire resistance rating to be applied to a new window to be installed in a house at 58 View Road, Houghton Bay, Wellington. The matter to be determined is therefore whether the authority correctly exercised its powers in granting a building consent with a condition requiring a fire resistance rating to be applied to a new window. In order to determine this matter, it has to be considered whether the window is required to have a fire resistance rating applied in order to achieve compliance with Building Code Clause C3 Spread of Fire.
