Description
This determination considers the authority’s refusal to grant a building consent for alterations to an existing dwelling.
The authority considered that the building consent could not be granted for a range of reasons, including a lack of documentation, construction details, and conflicting information in the plans.
This determination considers the reasons for refusal set out by the authority in its letter.
Decision
1. In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, it has been determined that:
- the authority had grounds for refusing to grant the building consent, because it could not be satisfied that the building work would comply with the Building Code if property completed in accordance with the plans and specifications provided with the building consent application
- the letter dated 7 June 2021 refusing to grant the building consent did not adequately detail the authority's reasons for refusal
2. The authority's decision has been reversed, requiring it make a new decision taking into account the findings in this determination.
