Crud.
I am in the process of adding a patio for my house (slab exists already).
I got a query back from the certifier - what is the actual dimensions of the house?
Reason: I own a place on a small lot. 402m.
I want to put a patio - 3.5 x 5.78m
The laws say can't cover more than 50% of land with buildings.
The bit of paper I have from the builder (spec home) says that it's ~198m in size.
I think 198m + 20.23 is more than 50 % of 402m
So I might need to apploy for a relaxation - I can't really make the patio smaller - there is an existing slab and it would not be practical.
Anyone with experience in getting a relaxation on this small lot law?
(no smart alec responses about "experience in getting a relaxation" OK? )
