Competent authority: determine it only after identifying the exact property, planning area, local body and development type.
Collect the full record
Obtain planning permission, building licence, approved drawings, conditions, revision orders, structural records and applicable no-objection certificates.
Match the current building
Compare use, floor count, floor area, setbacks, parking, access, stairways and site boundaries with the latest approved drawing.
Revised plans
An altered building needs the applicable revised approval. A submitted revision, fee receipt or professional drawing is not an approved revised plan.
Use specialists
Ask the issuing authority to authenticate the record and use a qualified architect or engineer for a measured deviation report.
