  1. Spoke to the building inspector. Like me it’s hard to say exactly without seeing it.

    But he said as you are widening the hole (modifying the structural integrity) and modifying the exterior envelop you would definitely need a resource consent.

    If you carry out the work without a consent and tried to sell the house later you maybe forced to either get a retrospective consent (niggly) or return it to how it was.

    Again, don’t take the word of a random person on the internet. But I can’t emphasise enough how important it is to get this right.

    Highly recommend getting a second opinion and get it in writing.

    as far as I was aware it 

    fell under exempt form consent..

    You can replace like for like but if you are modifying the exterior envelope you will need a building consent.

    Taking out a window and putting a door in will require a consent.

    Don’t take a random person from the internets word for it though. Just ring your local council tomorrow and ask them.

    They don’t want people accidentally modifying their homes illegally so will set you straight.
