Description
This determination relates to the authority’s decision to refuse to grant an amendment to a building consent proposing to include parts of the wall claddings terminating within channel drains at the base of the external walls.
The determination considers Building Code compliance pathways and whether the plans and specifications included sufficient evidence to establish compliance with Building Code clauses B2 Durability and E2 External moisture.
Decision
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, it was determined that there were grounds to refuse to grant the amendment to the building consent based on the information provided to the authority, however the authority’s refusal letter does not meet the requirements of section 50.
For this reason, the authority’s decision to refuse to issue the amendment to the building consent has been reversed.
