Hi guys,
I recently purchased a 3 bedrooms house with a detached garage at the back in te atatu south, the garage has done a extension a few years ago and the previous owner also built a studio in there (just obtained CCC prior settlement). I am currently trying to explore the option of completely transfer the garage into a 2bedrooms minor dwelling. But the LIM report says the house is in flood plain and overflow path also goes through the backyard of the house. When I trying to get consent from the council to do such transformation, will that be a problem even through the garage has already been there (i.e. when converting garage into a house, the use purpose will be different, so council will be really restricted on such application?) Also can anyone recommend me a builder with such experience. How much would it probably cost, is 80k sound reasonable? Thanks guys.
