How it works
A building with a specified life only has a set period of time in use, and must be altered, removed or demolished at the end of that period. It's usually used for buildings that are temporary – for example, a site office or portacom.
The original building consent will state the building's specified life.
You can request an extension of life to use the building for longer if it:
How to apply
You must let us know by email or letter if you want to extend the life of a building you own. You will need to state why you want an extension and how long the extension should be.
