This 1 rule will kill 90% of Akl Granny flat BC exemptions

"The building must be 2 metres from any other building or boundary"

Finally - some rules out for Granny flats! (sometime in 2026)
NO BC or RC but you do need a permit from council.

You must .....
-Advise council before you start works and again when you finish.
-No more than 1 meter above the ground at any point.
-At least 2 meters from the boundary or another building.

Our guess is many sites in Akl wont achieve the entire list and therefore a BC will be required.

BC's are not that hard to get - contact us to know more.....
