This determination considers the authority’s purported decision to refuse to grant a building consent for the construction of a new outbuilding on a property that is subject to the natural hazard of inundation.

Decision:
In accordance with section 188 of the Building Act 2004, the authority’s purported decision to refuse to grant building consent is reversed.
