Auckland Council’s submission on a discussion document called Making it Easier to Build Granny Flats highlights its concern that waiving requirements for building and resource consents on granny flats could have unintended consequences.
This could include limited oversight for environmental impacts, a lack of infrastructure funding for areas that could see growth and no oversight for building safety and quality.
Mayor Wayne Brown added that council did not want to miss out on growth charges and [development contributions] where they were due, but “we also don’t want to inflict those charges on places where they (grandparents) are just trying to eat separately from the grandchildren.”
