This determination concerns an authority’s decision to re‐issue a building consent, adding a condition for natural hazard notification under section 73, after it had already issued a building consent for the same building work.

The determination considers whether the authority had the power to re‐issue the building consent.

This determination considers the authority’s decision to issue a building consent that was issued in error. A building consent was granted for building work that had already been completed or was near completion when the consent was issued. 

Discussed whether the building work classified as an exemption under Schedule 1 (17; 15) of the Act including whether the building work constituted a conservatory, porch or veranda, what definitions exist for these phrases and whether the building work was on the ‘ground or first-storey level’. Also discussed if the building work classified for an exemption under Schedule 1(2) of the Act.
