Finishes of walls close to boundaries
88 Finishes of walls close to boundaries
In this section —
close wall means a wall, fence, post or column —
whether free‑standing or attached to, or forming part of, a building or structure, that is so close to a boundary of the land on which the wall or fence is located that it is not reasonably practicable to build a separate dividing fence along the boundary; and
in respect of which building work, of a kind for which a building permit is required, is done on or after commencement day;
outward facing side means the side of a close wall that faces land beyond the boundary of the land on which the wall is located.
The regulations may provide for matters relating to the finish of the outward facing sides of close walls.
A permit authority may, for the purpose of imposing a condition under section 27 or making a building order, specify the way in which an outward facing side of a particular close wall must be finished if —
there are no regulations as mentioned in subsection (2) that apply to the wall; and
the finish for the outward facing side of the wall is not set out in the plans and specifications that were specified in the applicable certificate of design compliance for the building permit for the wall.
