Description
This determination considers two successive notices to fix alleging the owners carried out building work to construct a sleepout without building consent, when consent was required, in contravention of section 40 of the Building Act.
The determination discusses whether the building work was exempt from the requirement to obtain a building consent under Schedule 1 of the Act, and the form and content of the notices.
Decision
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, it was determined that the sleepout and veranda were carried out in contravention of section 40 as they are attached to the consented dwelling.
However, given the deficiencies of the drafting of the notices, the authority’s decisions to issue notices to fix NF0548 and NF0557 was reversed.
