2023/004: Whether the construction of a wind turbine required a building consent and the issue of a notice to fix for its foundation

This determination considers whether the authority was correct in requiring a building consent for the construction of a wind turbine, and its decision to issue a notice to fix for the construction of the supporting foundation without a building consent being obtained. In deciding these matters, I have considered whether the wind turbine is a building and whether the foundation was exempt from the requirement to obtain a building consent.

2015/060: Regarding the compliance of concrete exterior stairs

This determination confirms the extent of compliance required by the Act for a set of external concrete stairs that serve as the access route to a dwelling. The three flights of stairs were replaced due to damage caused by earthquake activity, and the majority of the building work was carried out as exempt building work under Schedule 1(2)(a). The determination discusses the term “apron or construction edge” as it is used in Clause D1.3.1(a) and as it applies in this case.

2018/026: Issue of a notice to fix in respect of building work undertaken without building consent

Note: This determination is subject to clarification This determination considers a notice to fix issued for the rebuilding, without a building consent, of a small extension or lean-to attached to a house. The matter turns on whether the components or assemblies replaced in the rebuilding of the structure were in the same position such that they were exempt under Schedule 1from the requirement for a consent, and whether the notice to fix was correctly issued.
