This determination considers an authority's decision to issue a notice to fix to property owners regarding two self-contained units constructed on their land.

The owners disputed the notice, arguing that the units were vehicles, not buildings, and therefore did not require building consent.

Discussed whether the prefabricated unit is a vehicle, and whether it falls within the definition of a building under section 8 (1) (a) of the Building Act. Also discussed whether the relocation of the unit constituted building work and could be subject to a notice to fix.
