Description
This determination considers the authority’s decision to issue a building consent under section 72 for alterations to a dwelling on a property that is subject or likely to be subject to the natural hazard of inundation by flooding.
It considers whether adequate provision to protect the land for flooding has been made.
Decision
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, it has been determined that adequate provision to protect the land from the natural hazard of inundation is not required and therefore the building consent should have been granted under section 49(1). Hereby the authority’s decision has been modified to grant the building consent to remove the condition of a section 73 entry on the property’s record of title.
