Decision Not to Grant a Building Permit or Demolition Permit – s24 A permit authority is not obliged to issue a permit if it considers there is an error in the application. Duration of a Building/Demolition Permit The duration of the building or demolition permit is set at 2 years from the day it was granted as a default. Any application for an extension of the building permit can be sent to the permit authority in any format the permit authority allows. The application for an extension must include the requirements set out in s32 of the Building Act and associated regulations. The regulations require an application to extend the duration of a building or demolition permit to include: the reference number of the permit to be extended; the proposed new date for the permit to cease to have effect; and a statement setting out the grounds for requesting the extension; The permit authority may approve the request only on the grounds that: any delay in completing the building or demolition work was caused by reason beyond the control of the applicant; or other special circumstances warrant acceptance of the application. The permit authority may issue the extension subject to conditions. Any decision to refuse an extension can be taken to the State Administrative Tribunal for review. 30
