Hi, MBIE has booklets out which are guidelines for building exemptions. Exemption for allows for building work in connection with any detached building that: houses fixed plant or machinery, or where people do not normally enter or used by people in connection with another building for which a consent is require d(eg site office) and which are low risk to the public. Proprietary buildings are prefered for example.
So could anyone give me some ideas as to why a territorial authority would flat out decline the likes of a Greenwwood designed 4 bay clearspan shed which houses plant, is detached & unoccupied, has an engineers PS1 for the building design, will be the site office when the house is built and meets the rule for distance from the boundary. 9mtrs x 16mtrs
Their thinking is the rule is for commercial or industrial type buildings only (cant see where it says that), and not of that size (cant see where it says that). Do any of you have info to confirm this or are the council just trying to "pull the wool" in order to get the full BC fee. Were could I find preceedents or definitions please?
