Hi MM,
Some garden sheds may be constructed without a building consent. I have
attached the exempt building work guidance for your reference. There are
some details about certain sizes it can be without needing a building
consent. Please refer to pages 32 onwards. If your proposed work does not
meet the exemption criteria then it will need a building consent. If you
have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Kind Regards,
Nadia Naseem
