Never experienced such bad service, Purchased a property where a deck has been extended without consent, decided to do the write thing and find out what was required, a COA I was told, $1455 of fees spend so far, then to be told also need resource consent why, because even though the council records say the property is only 120sq it turns out these records are wrong and its 160sq, at least another $1000 wanted and written permission from neighbors, permission supplied but no, now need a form to be filled out by the neighbors, building inspection done today which failed even though a previous council employee looked at the deck and mentioning nothing about more piles required, even though saying it was a good job, and yes now also need building consent, More application fees. All for a small deck extension. Its not so Much the money but the continuing changing of the goal posts and each department has a different story. Taking it further
