Hi All,
I am wanting to move an internal, non load bearing wall approx 500mm to make the bathroom bigger in our PPOR.
Is a building consent required for this sort of alteration?
I have telephoned the council and talked to someone of dubious intelligence and grasp of the english language on the helpdesk who basically said "if it involves building of course you need a building consent" which is incorrect - I could build a retaining wall under 1.5 m or a deck under 1m height and not need consent.
Anyone know the answer?
