Description
This determination considers the authority’s proposed decision to refuse to issue a building consent for a pool house as compliance with Building Code clause F9 Restricting access to residential pools, had not been demonstrated due to the lack of a barrier between the pool house and pool.
The determination considers whether a pool house with bathroom, gym, changing facilities, kitchen/bar, lounge and roof deck, as well as rear patio area can be considered part of the immediate pool area.
Decision:
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, it was determined that the proposed pool barrier did not comply with Building Code Clause F9 as the pool house and other spaces contained within the proposed pool barrier cannot be considered to be part of the immediate pool area.
Accordingly, it was confirmed the authority’s proposed decision to refuse to grant the building consent.
