Do you think if you'd seen this determination and the precedents it quotes, things might have been different?

So hang on, according to that determination, you don't actually need a building consent to relocate, you only need one for the associated tasks - connecting services, foundations etc.
So how is it that councils demand a re-site report? Demanding floorplans etc of proposed relocatable? And how is it that I recently heard of a relocation project in Auckland held up by the council for 8 months over a consent? Sounds like they are overstepping themselves. (Again.)
you still need to satisfy planning rules

Yep, for my project (Rotorua) I will need a resource consent anyway.
Are building consents usually tied to the value of the work? If so, this could be a game-changer for some people. The value of the foundations/drainage etc. would give rise to a much smaller consent fee.
It would also be interesting to see how the development fee rules are worded. If it talks about 'building works' rather than other things like 'additional dwelling' there could be wriggle room there, too, depending on the council involved.My blog. From personal experience.
