2026/004: An authority’s decision to issue two notices to fix for building work carried out without consent

This determination considers an authority’s decision to issue two notices to fix for building work carried out at the owners’ property. The notices allege contraventions of section 40 for building work carried out without consent, sections 114 and 115 for a change of use, and section 17 for non-compliance with the Building Code. As part of the section 40 assessment, the determination considers whether the building work included in the notice to fix was the subject of a certificate of acceptance and whether it was exempt under Schedule 1.
