Section 75 of the Building Act 2004 gives a council the ability to issue a building consent to construct a building over land that is owned by the applicant in fee simple, and comprises or partly comprises two or more allotments of one or more existing subdivisions; the provision is that a notice be registered on the title requiring that the affected allotments cannot be transferred or leased, except in conjunction with any affected allotments.
It is important to discuss with a council building officer, any proposals involving a site with a s75 restriction on a title.
The relevant provision was formerly s37 of the Building Act 1991.
